Altered Vintage Nude ATCs
I managed to completely avoid doing what I was supposed to do this weekend, namely paint the bath frontboard and replace the lino (it's going from Ugly 70s Beige Geometrics to Faux Dark Blue Marble, which although it sounds a bit naff actually goes very nicely with the wall colour of the bathroom - a deep Babylonian Wall blue which is quite intense but also very relaxing).
However I did complete the other 'must do this weekend', which was to make my three Artist Trading Cards for the 'Altered Vintage Nudes' swap. The colour value on the photos isn't great (the ribbon on the second ATC actually matches the pink paper in real life) and the background cardboard is actually a shimmering pink so didn't photograph at all well, but these give the general idea. They're all postcard size [4x6"]:
Stamped cardboard, coloured & stamped pages of medieval French poetry, vintage nude printout, flower photo from a gardening brochure, heart metal paper fasteners.
Cardboard embossed with wavy lines, coloured & stamped pages of medieval French poetry, tinted vintage nude printout, foil stickers and a chiffon ribbon laced on grommets.
Cardboard, handmade paper with bits of foliage, coloured & stamped pages from a paperback of medieval French poetry that was disintegrating, vintage nude printout, diamante flower stick-ons, and a very pretty label from a Monsoon cardigan I bought a couple of weeks ago, attached with ribbon and grommets.
I also managed to input more inventory and get some jewellery-making in, resulting in three more half-finished projects. . .
