Textured ATCs
I participated this week in a textured abstract swap. I don’t tend to participate in these kinds of swaps because I prefer doing hand drawn and hand painted atcs but I had fun and created 3 extra atcs. I won’t post the others I created until I get my returns from the swap.

It’s About Art Journaling Swap
This week I received my returns from the It’s About Art Journaling swap. For the swap we had to create atcs that were similar to what you would do with an art journal just on a much smaller scale.
Here are the cards I received.

Challenge 125: UMT v. XVIII Birdie FeetUnfortunately I messed up on one of the squares. I colored it black so I went over it with a white pen but it didn’t really cover the black so I then used a red marker which unfortunately was oil based so it reacted weirdly with the water based marker underneath.
Challenge 123: Is it a Zentangle?
Challenge 122: Grid (un)locked

Ink Splotch Monsters
These cards were never intended to be ink splotches they just sort of happened. I recently purchased googly eyes and decided to use them on these cards.

Textured Abstracts ATC Series
While spackling some holes that were created when a book shelf fell I came up with the idea of using the spackling when creating some atcs. I created a total of six cards. I had fun playing with the spackling but I didn’t have a lot of it left so once I purchase some more I will make more atcs. I’m also thinking about using spackling for the cover of my art journal.
I like how this series turned out. My favorite is “Abstract 1”.
“Abstract 1” 
“Abstract 2” 
“Abstract 3” 
“Abstract 4” 
“Abstract 5” 
“Abstract 6”
