Last night I was exhausted and bored…so I decided to sit in my tiny studio and attempt to create “something, anything.” I went from one medium to another, to another and yet to another. I had no interest in any one thing…… until I looked to my right and viewed my box of cheap-o crayons [...]

Just a few more ATC’s from this week….. I find that when I’m stressed out, they are a nice little project to sit and do until completion. A bit of a satisfaction knowing you can start something and by the time you’re done, you have a nice piece of art as well as calmed nervous.

These two atc’s are complete opposites. One being bright and shiny, the other being very earthy in tone. The “Vintage Flower” was created using alcohol inks, punchinella, aluminum tape and a foam flower.
