Don’t know how….

Somehow, I added an extra copy of the slideshow, and I have no idea how to remove it.  Way too new at this, I guess.  Thanks for your patience.

New ATCs

I have finally added the new January ATCs.  Well, most of them.  After I finished, I found a few more, so I will add to them as time allows.  I usually only show one of a series, however this time I added more, especially in the ‘imagine’ series.  This is so you can see the what differences there might be in the cards of a series.  You will notice that while some of the elements are the same, there are differences from card to card, while the ‘feel’ of the card is the same.

ATCs for trade

Most of my ATCs are available for trade. They are usually made as a series, similar but not identical, so traded ATCs may not be the exact one that you see on the blog. Also, I always have new ones waiting to be uploaded, and I have been known to make a new edition of a card that has already been traded.

Updated the slideshow

A few more ATCs for trade have been added. Still don’t have the hang of this blogging.  Please bear with.

Coming soon: new slideshows

I am hosting 2 swaps: ” Cuppa’ Joe” on ArtistTradingCards yahoo group, and “Fun with Paint Chips” on ATC_World yahoo group. These are fairly large swaps, and I will be posting the images here soon. The Artist Trading Cards that have been submitted for these swaps are very good, and I know you will enjoy them as much as I have.

Here is the link to the web album for Fun with Paint Chips Swap:

Create with us!

New or experienced artist trading card makers may join a new Yahoo group: ATC Workshop.

Our goal is to work through Bernie Berlin’s excellent book, “Artist Trading Card Workshop.” As you work through the exercises, at your own pace, and in whatever order you choose, you may then post your results for the other members to see. Join at any time, start at anytime, and do whichever techniques inspire your Muse. No deadlines. If you find a particular technique that you really like and want to come up with new ways to use it, you may do that as long as you desire. If one doesn’t float your boat, or maybe you have done it forever, then skip it!

To join the group, go to Yahoo.com,  Click on “groups.”  Then do a search for ATCworkshop, and join the group.  Here’s the link:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ATCworkshop/     Just copy and paste into your browser.

There are a lot of interesting ideas in this book, and I think you will enjoy exploring them all. Bernie Berlin’s book is destined to become a classic. Come, explore and create with us!
