Ok I had an aha moment this afternoon with the ATC I just posted. I have a feeling you will either love it, or scratch your head saying you don’t get it….

I was looking through an old dictionary from 1960 that I use words and pages from. Over the holidays I ripped apart an old laptop computer and have a bag full of parts now. Well, in 1960, computer was not even listed in the dictionary, and keyboard was referred to as piano keys, and a typesetting machine.

I know, rather an esoteric ATC — but art none the less.

April Fools — ATC

I am not sure the title “he cracked up” will make sense in the picture, but if you look closely it appears the joker is behind cracked glass. I coated him with UTEE and sprinkled in micro beads. After it cooled, I bent the card in different directions to make it crack.

I am starting to play with ideas for the next mingle coming up in late February in my altered art group. The theme is Fairy Tales, and the first idea I came up with was related to Alice in Wonderland.

Since I plan on making a few, then deciding which one or two to throw into the mingle, I will post them here as I finish them.

This is my entry for the Ladies in Big Hats mingle in my altered art group. The photo was taken on May Day in 1943 in a small town in south eastern South Dakota.

ain't they sweet

I needed a distraction to keep me busy until my daughter comes home from college on Tuesday, (her flight arrives about 11:30 PM on Monday) so I decided to make some new ATC’s for upcoming themes in my altered art group.

The first three all have to do with New Years Resolutions:

Live, Laugh, Love

Live, Laugh, Love

It's your life

It's your life

I also really jumped ahead and worked on the theme of Sugar and Spice, this was my first attempt, a dancer all pretty in pink!

At least in my crafting room it is!

I have started to work on Christmas Cards, Christmas Gifts, Altered Art exchanges …..I even have a sketch of a gingerbread house I want to make. Here is a peak of what I have been up to. This is an ATC for my Altered Art Group.
