ATC Week: Day 3

Ok, we have been on winter break here. 
"Week" is a very fluid idea right now.  
So here is day 3...ATC collages with postage stamps.




How did I make them?  It was so fun! I started with a piece of thick paper 7" x 10"  Using Mod Podge I covered it with scraps of papers left over from other projects.  The I covered some parts with sewing patterns.  When these are applied with MP they are translucent.  I even stamped on some of the patterns with StazOn ink before adhering them.  When all is dry cut into 2.5" x 3.5" rectangles.  Decorate with permanent markers or paint pens accenting the edges.  Finally I matched up used postage stamps and glued them on.

Blogs and such

I belong to a site called Swap-Bot that a lot of other crafty people use. It is a great site to get creative and send and receive mail. Of course not all swaps are physical mail, some are electronic, and even revolve around Blogs or Twitter. I have signed up for a couple of Blog following ones recently and thought I would share the partners I had with my blog readers so they could have a chance to visit these blogs as well!  If I missed yours please forgive me.  They were all great.  I was not uninterested in any of them.

Dotee Doll swap

ok, so a woman named Dot started creating these tiny dolls as small gifts for artistic friends.  Now everyone is making them I have discovered.  So I joined a swap for a fall themed one on Swap-bot.com to try them out and see if I like them and how easy they are to make.  So here it is...


As cute as they are, I have to admit, I do like my birds better. Sorry Dot.
