Ongoing ATC swap gallery/discussion for 2022

I received from @Kwality570 for my Joy theme … gelli print collage, pen and paper … the letters are raised. Love the colours you used.

I received from @bluebird. She sent me this absolutely wonderful lady with flowing hair. The line work in the hair is stunning and the colors are beautiful. Thank you so much.

The JOY card is lovely- I think the dots are really cool as well.

And the lady with the purple hair looks so pretty and serene.

I also got some fantastic cards this weekend!

From @GeekyBookworm, some cuddly koalas! These guys are so adorable!

And from @curiousfae, I got this gorgeous watercolor dragonfly. I tried to show the subtle shimmer imbued in this card but I may have failed. It’s really gorgeous.

And from @endymion, I got a story! She tells of a time when, due to some unforeseen circumstances, she and her (then newlywed) husband had been using a door to their home that they didn’t usually use. Her new MIL was staying with them at the time as well. Well, said door did not get locked up after use, probably because they were so unaccustomed to using it that it didn’t occur to them to check if it was locked. Sometime in the night, an inebriated stranger wearing only one shoe, walked through that door and through the room her MIL was sleeping in, and into another room to land on the sofa and pass out. Her MIL thought that her son and his new wife perhaps knew this person and so she didn’t think she should wake Pam to make sure it was ok for this guy to be in their house. So Pam awoke to find a “Half-Shod Stranger” (the name of the card) laying on her sofa! This man was still quite drunk when the police arrived. They never did find the other shoe, either. (I found this story quite funny… although I’m sure at the time it must have been really alarming!)

Thank you all! I’m so thrilled to have these fabulous pieces of art!

@GeekyBookworm, that koala card is wonderful! It almost looks like a screen print to me. What technique did you use?

@curiousfae, your dragonfly is gorgeous. Great shimmer!

@thanate, the color wheel is so vibrant and graphic. Very cool! And the little flowers are sweet.

Two arrived here while I was out of town for a couple days, both Little Good Things:

and from @Bunny1kenobi who loves living in Arizona:

Loving that colorwheel card and the flowers are really cute!

And weaving being @photojenn’s happiness?? Who would have thought? :laughing: I love the colors in the card. (I love the colors she always picks for her weavings- it stands to reason that a card from her about weaving should be no different!! :heart:)

Yes, the paper bits she chose do a lovely job of calling up the yarn colors she usually weaves with. :green_heart:

Yeah, a real mystery :joy:

Thanks! I just drew the koalas then colored them in with marker. The koalas got lost in the background so I went over it with a white colored pencil.

All of the atcs are just wonderful!

Ah, marker. I see it now.

Love the woven strips!

And that AZ card is butte-iful.
:rofl:

Sorry, couldn’t help myself.

I also received from @artsycandice, who artist-chose my robot unicorns theme.

All of the gold parts are metallic.

The edges are also straight; it just looks crooked because of how I set it down.
