Artist Trading Cards

These are artist trading cards, all done to a very small size. It is as difficult to design small pictures as it is to do larger ones. I like to travel with these cards and work on them in hotel rooms and at shows. In the 1980's and 90's, I did postcard artwork that was sent all over the world and became part of artist postcard shows and exhibits. Now, I am enamored of this little world that these cards provoke.

studio deck. I love the contrast between
paper, paint and silvered wood.

This card reminds me that I need to make most of these designs into charms!


Angels

This is my favorite. Birds, of course.

These cards were all done at the bead show this past weekend. I had far too much time on my hands on Sunday! Have a great day - I am off to my yarn sale at Diva!
