This month’s ATC challenge is poetry, and I decided to use a few words from Alfred Noyes. If you don’t know the poem you can find it here, but I’m warning you, it’s really sad.

The Devil Made Me Do It!
That’s the theme of our next Artists’ Trading Cards challenge. I came up with this:
Artist's Trading Cards meeting
Man, what a time I had last night! We had a meeting of our Artist’s Trading Cards group, and we have been working on something very different for us. Usually we work in paper, but we decided to do a prayer flag exchange, and make fabric flags. Everyone was given 20 squares of muslin with no instruction and a short description of prayer flags. Then we brought them all to the meeting last night and exchanged them. I am astounded at the creativity of this group! I haven’t yet had a chance to string my flags, but here are some photos of the exchange.
Dream
That’s the theme of our artist’s trading cards this month. This is my effort:
Super Cat
Our latest artists’ trading cards challenge is super heroes.
Image transfers
At our artists’ trading cards meeting we shared information on transferring images.
It was a fun meeting, and I was astounded at all the work everyone did figuring different ways to transfer an image. The creativity of this group is amazing.
Pop art
Our latest artists’ trading card challenge is pop art, and I couldn’t help going for the obvious.
Self portrait
Our latest Artists’ Trading Card challenge is “in the style of…” I picked Andy Warhol, and decided to do a bright green self portrait.
Fun with printing!
At our Artists’ Trading Meeting last night, we had a great time! We carved stamps out of rubber erasers, some of them flower or animal shaped, most of them square. We talked about how to make a print edition, and how to make a reduction print, and how to used your stamp to create your own art paper. Everyone made such beautiful prints!!
Amazing, aren’t they?!
Playing with printing
This week at our Artists’ Trading Cards meeting, we did some printing. We used two different techniques, eraser carving and foam block printing. I think the results were quite wonderful!
