ART FROM THE ROAD
I made a thank-you card recently that I would like to share. It is for a friend who seems always to have my back whether I am in town or out of town! I enclosed a gift card for a restaurant we often visit together! I chose a scrap of designer paper, cut it ...

ART FROM THE ROAD: Sunday Postcard Art (08-12-18)

COIN SERIES IN BLACK AND WHITE
I continue to find great pleasure in creating Artist Trading Coins, those 2-1/2" circular pieces of art which most artists are finding quite addictive! Here are the first 5 in my  black and white collection: The top left image is one of Wendy Vecchi's stamp...

ARTIST TRADING COINS
Making Artist Trading Coins has become a favorite pastime of mine! I have cut bunches of 2-1/2" circles out of scraps of paper--some as ready-made backgrounds and others as backing for the "coins" to give them a bit of strength. I keep a pad of Tim Holtz' "...
