Birthday Weekend

Diva Challenge #274: Show your colors

Fireworks!

Tada &  Ahh

This is Red White & Blue week! The Diva is travelling in the US and asking us to show our country colors. I've got a swap in progress with the same patriotic theme and since my birthday was the 4th of July I'm just about finished creating a series of Fireworks! ATC's. I just got back from a lovely long birthday/holiday weekend in San Diego. I  made a little art along the way.

Coffee Ring Circle String Series

pattern: Girdy (with Tipple)

I'd left the last of my pre-coffee ringed ATC's in the hotel room on Monday morning, so I just noodled around over my morning coffee with what was handy and came back and made the real ATC later..

I'd pre-washed several pages in my sketchbook before leaving home. I spent several hours each morning over coffee in the lounge waiting for my sister to wake up...

...and finished this over the course of 3 mornings.

Diane & Caroliens Weekly Alphabet Challenge R-V-I

Ruutz, Vortex & Intwine

I got head start last week on this weeks D & C challenge. I'm creating a series of ATC's using only patterns in my reference binder. I received a very pretty hand tangled note card from Ragged Ray, one of my Travelling Tangles peeps. That's a bit of her artwork on the left. There were several lovely travellers in the mail when I got home. I'll share them soon.
