More ATCs

Hello again,

I have been quite ill for past few days... well, almost a week. I had a virosis and this has been the most terrible version of virosis as far as I can remember. I haven't felt so bad in ages. I really should eat more vitamins and healthy food in general.

Before I got ill I finished few more ATCs. Here are the pics of the past and recent ones.

Here are my first 3 ATCs ever. Please don't laugh (although it makes me laugh every time I see them) :).














I saw pics of these girls on the internet. Again, I don't remember who the author was, I think they were drawn to fabric bags. I like them and copied them, drawing while watching the pics on the screen. The water color part for finish turned out prety well, I am rather pleased with the result. I guess I am not giving them away since the idea is stolen from someone else.









And few more, just the way I like them. At least most of them :). You can read about pics and stamps and such in previous post.













P.S. The next two posts are from today as well, I just didn't want to put all the pics together, it looks ugly and too crowded :).

Some more ATCs

Some more (mostly) stamped ATCs. The 3 top ones were made with the Hero Arts stamps. Aren't they cute? Birdies were made with white embossing on white vellum. I've seen that on StampingMathilda site, which has been a great inspiration for me for quite some time. You can find a link to her site on the right in "Blog Links" section.

Some More ATCs

I posted these ATCs the other day, but it was just one pic and here are a bit bigger and better ones, as I promised.

Some New ATC's

I have to go to work tomorrow. Nina is going to be with her father until tomorrow evening, so I had free afternoon and did some stamping. I bought some really cute Hero Arts stamps some time ago and never used them. I already made some backgrounds for them today and if I am not too tired tomorrow, I guess I am going to make some more ATC's.
The pic here is not really good, I will make better one when the light is better. I like altered things so I tried to make them look old. I used ink pads, inks and acrylic paints for backrounds and Aud Design stamps, Penny Black, Tuscan Rose and some others I don't really know any more where they came from. I cut and mounted them and now I am not sure who made them. Oh well, they are all nice. Pics are all downloaded from internet and printed; and of course again I don't know where I found them. I guess I will have to start keeping some kind of source information about the things I'm using.

If someone wants to swap, let me know :).

No Title

I haven't been here for quite a while. Yeah, bad thing, I know. Somehow I was not really alive lately. I was breathing normally, getting up every day, going to work, doing whatever there had to be done, playing and spending time with my daughter, and trying to fall asleep late at night. There was not much else in my days. My inside was kind of empty - no need to create, no need to be with other people... when I think about it now, I am not really quite sure how I was spending days when Nina was not at home. Doing nothing, I guess. And that's exactly what I have always despised - people doing absolutely nothing. That was something I couldn't imagine. Now I know it's rather simple to "achive" that; much easier than getting your life back. I was always hyperactive, doing million things, interested in everything, trying new things, learning... and that's something I am going to get back. Because I am not happy being a person doing nothing. It's just not me. Keeping this blog alive is one of my goals. Since it's mostly a blog about my "art", my first mission is to start creating again. And I'm starting immediately.

Thanks to all my friends who kept reminding me they miss me here and in real life as well. It's time to pick myself up, dust myself off and start all over again!

P.S. The pic is from my recent trip with co-workers - few hours long ride with boat on river Ljubljanica.

New Look

My blog got a new look! Yeaaah! Finally! :)

Bead Sets

This and that...

I don't have much free time lately, but there are still some moments I can spend for doing what I like to do. Here are some of the latest things I've made.

Magic Wand Swap

That's my entry for our last swap - Magic Wand. It's polymer clay with glass ball bead at the end and it's about 32cm long.

Swarovski Crystal Beads

Few weeks ago I had a short swarovski obsession. I was making pendants and necklaces. These beads are so nice and shiny, but unfortunately I am not good enough in photography to make pics that would actually show the real beauty of swarovski beads. So, few pics without a real shine! :))

More Cards

Few more cards from the first time I was making them. I don't have time for making new ones, my days are so busy all the time. Tomorrow I am going to vacation for one week, but I don't think I can make cards there, I guess I will just take beads and wire with me... and few books... and I can't wait!! :)
