ATC (Artist Trading Card) Deck swap

For those of you reading who are new here I will explain. Some of the Certified Zentangle Teachers (CZT) have gotten together by way of facebook and are participating in a ATC "deck" swap. Deck refers to a deck of playing cards which is 53 cards. So we are producing 53 cards and sending them off to one CZT who was crazy enough to first think up this idea and second sort them out so that the 153 participating CZT's will receive one of their own cards back along with 52 cards from other individual artists. It sounds like a huge job! Just getting mine finished was time consuming even with an extended deadline. So anyway here is my deck. It will be very exciting to see what comes back to me.

PHEW!

Back to "Normal?"

I love the holidays but, I love it more when the rushing around is back to a minimum, my belly isn't quite so full and my to do list has more to do with creativity than shopping.

I have been absent from this blog for a while because I have had little time to Tangle but, I was recently able to complete a full page of tangles to be broken down into Artists Trading Cards. See post HERE if you have questions. I cannot decide if I enjoy full page tangles then cut up or single cards. I have now completed 32 cards with 21 more to go so I still have time to figure it out.

Cut into ATC's

I will tell you it took me three tries to get the tiles in the correct order on the scanner after they were cut! I did not label individual tangles but, if you have a question, please leave a comment and I will be sure to reply.

If I do not return before then Happy New Year to All!

ATC (Artist Trading Card) Swap

One of our lovely Certified Zentangle Teacher's (CZT) has come up with a way to keep us busy from now until February. Many of us have jumped on board the crazy train and decided that we will produce 53 cards which measure 2.5" x 3.5". Some even crazier CZT's are producing two sets. We will all send our cards to one person who will then sort through them and send each one of us back a deck of cards from 52 different CZT's. I have managed to finish 18 cards so far and here they are. Some with color, others not. I may have to come back to some and add a little color or shading in the future.

Happy and Safe Thanksgiving to all!
