ATC's and Book pages

Seems to have been a little while since my last post and there are a few things which I have been doing in the art/craft line. First of all, I entered a couple of ATC's into the PDA ATC challenge swap. The theme was fantasy / magic / etc and I made one cared based on something I did a couple of years ago. At the time i liked it very much and made a second very similar card, I thought, "magic, why not use the same idea again?". So here is the "Magician & the Spell".

The fun part is thinking up nonsense words for the spell which seem to be in a "latinate" language.

The second card was made using an image I have also used mmore than once before. It is a statue of an angel from a tombstone. I think it is just great.

You've  just gotta like the child's image as well!

the other thing that I want to show you in this post is a couple of pages which I have done for a hand-made book which is another project on PDA. ten artists are creating pages and swapping with each other over this year ( one page a month to swap and one on the same theme to keep). The first here was on the theme, Stained For Life. I call it, After That Incident, Her Character Was marked With A Very Dark Stain. Don't ask!! And note the second appearance of the statue in this post.

The second page for the same project ( I was catching up, LOL) was called,  "Although ripped apart at an early age, the girls kept in touch by the magic of the automatic telephone, to talk about thteir favourite things". A loose interpreetation of the theme, Ripped.

I have also been busy with other things but I will leave them for anothertime, but there are new posts on my blogs which deal with painting and photography. Why not have a look and see if there is anything to interest you.
