Dragon ATC

Here is the badass dragon ATC I received. The artist chose a fire dragon based on my mention of fire spinning in my profile. She also decorated the envelope with a giant purple tribal dragon that I need to scan and add here.

Steampunk ATCs

Received in the Steampunk ATC swap. A little blurry from the protective covers. These make me feel bad about my collage abilities.

No Paper ATC

This is the first ATC I received, from a No Paper swap. I think it's an envelope?


I'm a little sad I didn't photograph mine before sending. I wonder if I can get in touch with the recipient to snap a pic for me. It was a black sequined corset appliquéd on a black background with some shiny lamé fringe on the corners on a cork board backing.

Mixed ATCs

I wasn't thrilled with the first dragon card I made, so I made a second I'm not happy with either. I think I have time to try again for a third before the mail deadline.

The center card is for a Super Sparkles Swap I'm hosting. It isn't clear in the picture, but the peacock dress is very sparkly. I really like how the paper girl turned out and would like to experiment further with paper dolls.

The third is the first of two for a Medieval Fantasy swap I'm hosting. Freehand watercolor pencils and black ink.


Wicked ATC

I made this for fun and haven't yet found a swap for it, so I may end up hosting one. The concept began with the diagonal lines and the witch's face, and then I stalled out on ideas. I think I'd like to do another featuring maybe the Emerald City and Yellow Brick Road instead of the monkey and shoes.


Cupcake ATC

I made this for a Cupcake ATC swap on Swap-bot using collage and watercolor pencils. It isn't clear from the scanned image, but there are two sequins on the paper.
