As I work on my larger pieces, I tend to get a little antsy waiting for things to dry. My studio always looks like a hurricane (category 5) hit it and so I will often pick up pieces of this and that and try to assemble them into quick ATCs (artists trading cards). These are often found art Tuesday items. It is really a good exercise because I give myself different challenges. This one was timed... five minutes to be exact. Sometimes the challenges have to do with color schemes, themes, drawing, etc... The humble ATC is a good venue for experiments and my goofy self imposed challenges. I left this one at a local coffee haunt. I think I will do something along Halloween or Dia de los muertes next. And I just noticed a new widget or gadget on this blog. We can become followers of our favorite blogs. So cool. I was surprised to see that I had a follower. Thank you UNDAUNTED! Now I have to figure out how I can follow my favorites.

Ha! This is fabulous - I too get frustrated by drying times, so always have my trusty hairdryer to hand, lol. Glad you put your drying time to good use though.
ReplyDeleteI recognise that cute face in your follower widget!
(not sure what I think about this "follower" thing or "fans" in Facebook though, seems a bit, I dunno, showbizzy?)
Still, you deserve hundreds of followers - great work!
I can't believe that only took you 5 minutes! It's great! I always think your collages are so imaginative - I struggle to put things like that together even when I have bought a special kit with all the pre-cut bits of paper!
ReplyDeleteYes Kari, that cute face is meee! :) I think the follower thing is just like using a "feed" thingy, to let you know when the person has posted. You can choose to either be a private follower or a public follower. I think it's nice to do it publicly because then the person knows that their blog is LOVED!!
Oh, and I use a hairdryer too!
