ATCs: Inspiration and Ideas

Today I gave my presentation on Artist Trading Cards at the Odd Topics Society luncheon, and since a couple people requested it, here are my favorite sources of ATC inspiration and ideas.

• Flickr: search on ATC tag
• My Del.icio.us ATC bookmarks
• Keri Smith’s Wish Jar blog

And if these weren’t enough to eat up your afternoon, do a search on altered books, collage art, papercrafts, card making, or scrapbooking to really feel creatively charged.

Oh, and by the way, Saturday is World Card Making Day!

More designing, less crafting…

I’ve been so busy with web projects (spending 14 hours/day on the weekends!) that I haven’t had any time for crafting. WAAHHH! But alas, if I can enjoy the latest CraftyPod and add a few rows to my scarf project, I can be happy. So, this morning I managed to steal my hour and now I’m ready to hit the ground running.

Most people who know me

Most people who know me personally know that I’m committed to reducing animal suffering. (I give money to animal rights groups including the Humane Society of the US, the ASPCA, the North Shore Animal League, the World Society for the Protection of Animals, and especially The Animals in Asia foundation, which is working to end bear farming. Bear farming is inexcusably cruel and inflicts literally 20+ years of suffering on these animals that would horrify you if you knew the details. Here’s what Olivia Newton-John had to say about it in a recent TV commercial.
