Carve Your Own

i just completed a hosted swap at ATCards Forum that required participants to carve their own stamp(s) and then create ATCs with them. it was great fun with a lot of sharing about techniques and supplies. it was very inspiring and i'm now thinking of starting a thread on that site that is exclusive to hand-carved, printed ATCs. here are the returns from that swap and a sample card from one of the participants.

...and here are my cards for a swap at ATCards Forum.

from Victoria Koldewyn

this (not an ATC) was included with cards for a Carve Your Own swap i'm hosting at ATCards forum. its the Magician from a tarot series Victoria is working on.

from Russell Manning

received this one quite a while back, before i started organizing my mail art, and just ran across it again.

from Jim Leftwich

no images :(

i've received some new mailart that i would like to post but having trouble uploading images to Blogger. please check back later.

more than child's play

two great new additions to my collection from b.jordan

recent additions

i just received this wonderful art doll card from Margaret Baxter. she wanted one of my cards and i agreed to a trade without seeing this card first. it was certainly worth the risk. i love it.


below is a card made by Laura Booth. it was one i received in a themed swap called "Inside Out". i think it's very nice and i'm still trying to figure out how she did it!

finally some studio time!

after working for about four fridays in a row, i finally had yesterday off!

these went off in today's mail:

to Jim Leftwich
