@LuckyXIIICreations the Gelli plate is such a cool effect! I’d love to try that one day, it looks fun!
@Lynx The leafy texture is so neat and lettuce-y! and your bird photography is brilliant 
@geekgirl I love all the layers and texture in your wonderful piece - the white highlights work so well!
@gozer your fish is gorgeous! so delicate 
I received my one and only artwork today made my our awesome host @geekgirl! I’m drooling over all these textures and random details. It’s the kind of art your just want to touch.
And I love the sentiment “Let your inner artist out”
It’s lovely and beautiful! Thank you @geekgirl! And thanks for hosting!
@geekgirl you have such mastery of colors, layering, and texture. The white lines look like stitches.
@gozer your Beta is stunning, particularly on the black. Well done!
Does anyone remember “Craftster crushes”? I vaguely remember it being a thing… Well, I think it’s time to confess that @geekgirl is my current crush! lol 
I drool over everything you make!!! I’m swooning over all the textures that I can’t touch! Aaaah!!! 
I have 2 of my pieces so far
From @megwell - I like your strips of decorative paper going across the piece and how the lady looks like she is coming out of it.
@LuckyXIIICreations - love how you did the gold and white gel pen doodling!
Thanks you guys!
I received from two of my partners… Their work can probably be identified without my saying who it’s by, but I will anyway 
From Lynx2Lancer, a lovely mixed media abstract (inside one of the fab bird cards):
And from Kwality570, here’s Merle the monster:
Thank you both so much! Both pieces are lovely and bright and really made my day!
Hooray, glad you like it! Those purpley strips were a late addition – it needed something else but I couldn’t decide what – and I think they really helped.
Great additions from @geekgirl, @LuckyXIIICreations, @Lynx, and @Kwality570! I need to come up with something less repetitive than “so much variety!”, but seriously, that’s hands down my favorite thing about this swap every time.
Another awesome textured piece from @geekgirl! love the copper and verdigris colours!
@megwell the strips of text and purple work really well, and the angles and torn edges give your piece so much movement!
@LuckyXIIICreations is that another gelli print? You create wonderful colours and depths with that layered effect!
That collage piece is so cool @Lynx! The various oranges are so vibrant, and the bits of green give it extra oomph!
Merle is awesome @Kwality570! He looks like he should be hosting a monster game show - so much charisma!
Yes it is! I have a bunch made up so decided to actually start using them. 
I received from @pioneer9!
She also sent a bonus ATC:
Thanks so much!
Whoops! I had it kind of front and center on his chest. It was a last minute addition and I think my glue stick was on its last legs at that point…
Yay, glad to know it made it and that you like it.
@geekgirl As always, I love your work!
@megwell What a fun piece!
@kwality570 Merle is quite the happy guy! Hello to you too, sir!
@pioneer9 I love your happy Llama hopefully no drama! The bonus atc is really wonderful!
@LuckyXIIICreations I really love the piece you sent magpie! The layering of the flower is just gorgeous. The doodling on the piece you sent geekgirl is really fun, too!
I think I’m caught up on commenting now.
lol I am just going to comment “what she said 
”
I’ll allow it. 
I received this gorgeous little watercolor from @Whistlefish. It is so gorgeous!!!
I got this bonus ATC too!
Thank you so much. I’m so amazed by these beauties. 
I had to look closer because that starfish looks like it pops off the page! Yet more beautiful watercolor pieces from @whistlefish!
I genuinely thought it was a separate attached piece until you said that 
! Amazing.
