More Small Art

ATC Triptych, Sun, Moon & Rising Signs,  by W. T. Gibson
Here's my triptych for Small Art for the Faint of Heart! I used stamps by Kimberly Crick for my Moon and Rising signs and a crown from Alpha Stamps. I don't have a source for the month stamps that I used for the background of the middle panel.

(If you like the stamped images then you will be happy to know that I am selling them as Domino Pendants in each of the twelve signs of the Zodiac! I will post pictures one of these days. They are quite beautiful! The images are embossed and coloured with Copic markers.)

Here is the front of my Artist Trading Card. I used two puzzle pieces as a closure, an idea that I got from Trading Card Techniques and ATCs, by Lisa Vollrath, Tim Holtz and Michele Charles, from my favourite book publishing company,  Design Originals. Isn't that a neat idea?

Have you made any art starring yourself?

Wendy's Wednesday Web

Wow, I feel like I just wrote this yesterday.....but its been 7 days and I've had a cold during that time! My summer cold, the one that builds me up for the rest of the year. But enough about me! Let's see what's happening webwise this week!

1. Sara at Soft Flex Girl is on Day 2 of her Seven Days of Inspiration posts! I've already seen something I never would have thought of on my own! Thanks Sara!

2. The Crafty Gardener made me hungry! I also learned something that I am definitely doing in my container garden next season! Yummy! What a great idea!

3. In another attempt to get me quilting, Austen at Make+Do blog talks about 'quilt-alongs'. I could do that.....!

4. Jamie has a great post on Things to Avoid When Blogging in 2 parts. I'm almost scared to read it!

5. My darling friend, Juana, of the Cat Who Fishes blog, is back from her holidays in the Italian countryside and she has lots to do now that she's home again! I missed Juana but Flat Juana and Flat Wendy decided to stay in Canada for the summer to keep me company and will spend the fall in Italy!

6. It's all trial and error when it comes to working with bronze metal clay and Jen of BeadFX takes us through her experiments. Fascinating results!

7. Margot is Down Under!

8. Tammy Powley has a great post about blogging and references She's Batty (see #4, Jamie) and HandMadeNews.org!

9. Beth, of Indie North, has nothing to say about Radiant Red!

10. That's Pretty and Jewellery n Herbs both had crazy weeks and live in Peterborough, so here they are: 2 4 1!

And that's that for another WWW!

What are you doing this week?

Make It Monday 2

Holey moley!

This week's Make It Monday challenge is one of my number one favourite themes.....hands! hee hee! I have a hand collection! Not live hands or even mumified ones, though. ick.

To meet this challenge, I'm going to (FINALLY) take a picture of my hand collection...or make a mini album! Two years ago, I threw myself a birthday party and asked for hand related gifts, which I was lucky enough to receive! (Hey, if ya don't ask!) And evey year I try to add another hand to my collection. The symbolism of the hand...mudras....communicating with hands...creating things with hands...handmade....palms....gestures....all very fascinating!
