frida faces

the new two week challenge at tag tuesday is "faces."  i took the opportunity to use my new frida face stamp which was given to me over the holidays -- but in an unusual way...

the background paper is from sabor papel (purchased from altered pages).  the moon face stamp is from inkadinkado, frida is from 100 proof press and the crow body and heart are from silver crow creations. 

here the background paper is from gecko galz although the trim at the bottom is also sabor papel.  frida and the hawk body are both from 100 proof press.

some years ago i was in an ATC swap where the theme was "bird people."  we could either do bird bodies with people heads or people bodies with bird heads.  i thought this would be a fun way to use my frida face stamp especially since frida is such a mysterious figure who often worked with nature and animals in her own art.

the new challenge will run for two weeks from today so feel free to link up!

love to all.

bird people ATCS received! and a couple more by me.

with permission from the artists, i am sharing the glorious bird people ATCs i received from the swap hosted by marion at the bockel24 blog.

left to right these beauties came from daniela rogali of berlin, germany, sabine busch of bremen germany and jo murray from queensland, australia.  this was a very international swap!  and each piece so expertly done.

i also got a gorgeous bonus ATC from marion:

of the many i made i have 2 more that i made which i'd forgotten to post here.  here they are now:

i didn't swap these two, they were extras.  my images are from lunagirl, graphics fairy and paula's kits club. stamp (eeyore sentiment) by silver crow creations.

i had a ball merging people and bird parts and it has inspired me to try some other new things -- which will soon be shared here!

love to all.

more bird people

i participated in an ATC swap and made more ATCs than i needed.  here are a couple more.  bird parts are from graphics fairy and people parts are from lunagirl.

this swap was hosted by bockel24 blog.  there is much glorious art there and many other art swap opportunities as well.  i'm also linking to week 21 "anything goes" at scraps of color.

love to all.

stripes and spots

when i participated in the bird people ATC swap i had some left over "bird people" that were too big for ATCS but a good size for tags.  this week's prompt at tag tuesday is "stripes and spots."  i used striped designer paper and the "spots" are eggs cut from a different piece of designer paper.

the bird body is from the graphics fairy and the head is from a lunagirl collage sheet.  this tag amuses me!
love to all.

bird people ATC swap

i recently discovered a most brilliant art blog, bockel 24 by artist marion b.  there is much gorgeous art there and marion has also hosted a "bird people" ATC swap which i decided to join.  we were to swap 3 ATCs of bird people (bird head, person body or vice versa).  here are 3 of my ATCs.  altogether i made 7 (you know how it is once you get started) so i will share more later on.

all of the human parts on these came from lunagirl collage sheets and the bird parts cam from graphics fairy images.  the remaining papers, laces, beads, flowers, etc. are from various bits of my stash.  this was a fun challenge for me.  these are odd creations but i hope you like.

love to all.
