Collage.

I love these.

modpodge is great. 

I like atc's that tell a story. I like to think that everyone who sees this set will interpret it a little different...

tangle

Zen-tangles, or zen-doodles or whatever you want to call them are pretty much the best. Sharpie and watercolors, and many intrinsically satisfying hours.

household atc's

I want my whole house to have the vibe that these atc's have.

supernatural atc's

I have a client who loves the tv show Supernatural. I'd never seen it, so my sister and I watched a few episodes together. I am super-squeamish, so my sister helped me out by telling me what was happening while I looked down and drew. I was just doodling, but these are what happened. And if you've ever watched Supernatural, I don't think you'd be surprised.

Charcoal is delightful.

on your way

Some of these are magazine cut outs, most are actual photos of mine. I was cleaning out my art supply room and found a theme among some of the photos I didn't want to get rid of, but didn't know where to keep... 

therapeutic atc's

I use a lot of collage in my therapy practice. There's something about it that helps bring the subconscious forward, and not having to draw or paint anything original can do wonders for your feelings of insecurity or anxiety. Also I like cutting things up and putting them back together.

So in any case, I collage. The atc's here used to be one large collage, but I didn't know what to do with it, so I turned the collage over and cut it up into atc size cards. There's a theme. There's sadness and longing and wanting and grieving and hope and now that it is cut up into pieces it's a little easier for me to handle.

magazine atc's

Water colors, then more water colors, and then a brand new sharp exacto knife and some new magazines!
