ATC Glory & Joy
Last week was slow mail wise, but this week I got a parcel from Mimi and these ATC’s from around the world! Beautiful pieces of art to enjoy!
Thank you girls – I love them all! Two fun ATC:s from the Anne-Floor in the Netherlands: painted Heaven & Hell plus a beaded Klimt, traded via flickr. Klimt is a great artist, always makes me think of one of my favorite movies with Julia Roberts; Dying young.
Two bewinged ATC:s (right corner of photo) from Shawna, and you can almost tell she is best friend with Terri M who sent me five beautiful ATC too. I especially love the Hawaii one> and the one with the tennis playing couple that is “framed” (fun!).
And Ian of rainwalker-sunstroller and Sulatkamay! Her inspiring point and shoot ATC is now living with me, plus 2 of her great Lomo pictures!
Thank you all!
I also got a big pack of ATC’s from the Napkin swap I participated in over at Artist Trading Cards Yahoo group! The cards I got are really cool and special, and the thank you note I got from one of the participants by e-mail is still making me happy. She wrote to me (and I’m just posting it here to remember when I feel I can’t make a thing and am no good at all):
i received one of your cards in the napkin swap and wanted to take the time to let you know how much i appreciate this ATC. your card is covered with very pretty roses. i love the way the card feels, the texture is great.
thank you for joining this swap and again, i am thrilled with your card.
That feels nice! The Napkin swap cards was fun to make, I made all my cards in a great frenzy mood, and enjoyed it a lot (I think I might have them all scanned in the computer at my parents house…). The only disappointment was that I didn’t get nine peoples cards, instead I got two from Cat, two from Pattie and one of my own back! :-/
Strange, but all are nice so I guess I shouldn’t complain? Nah, I won’t.
And – believe it or not – I also got a beautiful fabric ATC from Fiona Chan (of blog leap-of-faith) in New Zealand today. I hung it on my wall beside my bed, next to the first ATC (also fabric) that I ever got, from Anna S. And they go well together too. I really like this green one!
Thank you ladies, so much – you are great and swapping makes me so happy!
Oh, and I’m trading to get this ATC, by Ron Huxley. Isn’t it beautiful?
hanna, all your atc swaps are lovely! makes me want to try my hand, but i need to get some other projects done first. so nice to meet another hanna! i think they are great!
Great! Lots of beautiful ATC’s! When I’m returning home I expect to find as much ATC’s in the mail too. It’s simply a great concept!
By the way, I love your blog. Beautiful layout!
