Dammit Jim, I'm an artist, not a....

These are various ATCs I made for swaps. Star Trek, Mickey, Minnie, and Moon themes.







Vintage Themed Altered Tag

I made this for an Altered Tag swap on Swap-Bot. They do a swap each month, this was for January, and each altered tag has a theme and is required to have a calendar page on it. January's theme was Vintage. Most of the papers I used are actual vintage, but I did use papers that are designed to look like vintage. I find a lot of my favorite pictures from old books I get at the thrift store and garage sales. I always look for ones about insects or old catalogs. For the background of the front I glued a reprint Sears add onto the tag and lightly painted some vintage blue then specked with white paint. The back is my favorite where I altered it with a bunch of old canceled stamps. It's my favorite part.
