BOWLING PIN FUN!

The Mixed Media III bowling pin auction was a blast! Lots of great art and friends, beer, live band great atmosphere.

These are some of my favorite pins. Mine is on the left! I love the middle monster one.

Alice won the bid! She has my pin now. Paul was so excited about this event.

COLLAGE ATC'S

 Here is a picture of the altered playing card collage ATC's I tried for another swap bot swap. I don't usually do collage, I really like it, however it's too time consuming for me. I rethink and rethink the design for so long I feel exhausted by the time I'm finished. I would rather draw. I need to stop signing up for swaps that aren't just drawing/painting. I'm going to get in trouble for being late! BUT, it's good to stretch yourself and try something new all the time. MUST NOT AVOID WHAT'S HARD, (I'm telling myself ) and so I better sign up for what looks interesting.

KIT SWAPPING

This is a surprise project sent to me via: Kit Swapping, a yahoo group. All the papers and images including the rock were sent through the mail. I added a few things of my own but most of the supplies were included in the kit. This was a fun project to do. It's always challenging to see what you will receive and figure out how to put it together.

One of the projects I sent this month included polymere clay and magnets to make 3 little magnets. This didn't go over very well. Even sending the kits can be challenging!
