Since I was talking about using fixatives yesterday, I thought I’d mention using E6000 glue. I was looking into adhesives for charms I’m making and saw most people recommended E6000 for jewelry because pieces rarely fall off when you use it. But, since I’m paranoid about chemicals and stuff, (By the way, organic gardening is […]
Yesterday, I talked about making an ornament that I sprayed with fixative. Now, I don’t know how you use them, but I take them out on the open front porch, drop whatever I’m spraying on the floor and stand back as far as I can before I spray the fixative. If there’s wind, I don’t […]
Have you ever looked at those huge home decor stamps in your stamping closet and wondered why on earth you bought something so big to make a one off project? The other day, I was staring at the enormous rose stamp I bought a year or so ago and I decided to try to come […]

Wikipedia says:
A highly debated offshoot of the ATC is the ACEO - Art Card, Editions and Originals. ACEOs were founded when some artists began to create cards to sell on eBay, in addition to trading among themselves. The selling of these cards is a sore point with some ATC purists; however the practice is not […]
Since I posted about an ATC yesterday, I thought telling you what they are would be a nice follow up. ATC stands for Artist Trading Card. It is a small work of art that measures 2.5 x3.5 inches. (The size of a baseball card.) An ATC is meant to be traded with other artists […]
To celebrate Chinese New Year, I stamped this dragon, cut him out and adhered him to red handmade paper. I colored him in with pearlescent paint-which isn’t showing up well on the camera. I used metalic rubons on the edges of the ATC. Finally, I cut a flame shape from shrink plastic, rubbed a red […]
