Spring Peat Pot Swap

Here are the wonderful goodies I received from swap partner, Lynn Stevens, in the Spring peat pot swap at Vintage Dragonfly's Flickr group. Aren'y they wonderful?!

 Lovely charms

 Vintage seals, German dresden trims, bunnies, chicks and tiny words.

 A bouquet of flowers and a spun cotton mushroom tied with lace.

 Bundles of beautiful lace, so tempting, to use for Spring projects!And last, but far from least, the peat pot! Isn't it just adorable? I love all the touches. Tiny eggs, hand dyed ribbon, flowers, crinkly paper and the cutest bunny waving hello! Thank you Lynn!

More art from the past

This ATC is titled "At the theaters."The header was a free graphic from the Flickr group "Collage Images."

While I'm getting my thoughts together, and trying to be more faithful to my blog, here is some of my art from past years.

Summer banner

I created four new banners for my mantel in honor of Summer. Here is the first, June.

Downton Abbey ATC Swap

1/7 for my Yahoo group. First up is Carson, the butler. Downton couldn't run without him!

Artist trading card Armoire

My fellow art sister and fabulous artist Laura Carson artfullymusing.blogspot.com/ has been designing little armoires to hold ATC's. I was so taken with them that I decided to make my own. While she used cigar boxes, I used a Christmas gift box I had laying around. The doors were fashioned out of foam core, and the box was simply covered in paper. The closet rod is a dowel. I have yet to add feet, but that is minor detail.

Circus ATC 1/6

My Yahoo group is hosting a swap entitled "Under The Big Top" and this is what I've come up with for my cards. The tent top is a paper cupcake liner, as are the flags. I used paper straws for the tent poles, and glittered everything.
