NEW SWAPS POSTED ON ART 42 - BEATLES YELLOW SUBMARINE AND FLOWER CHILD

I just posted two new 3/3 ATC swaps I'm hosting on Art 42 - the Beatles Yellow Submarine ATC's are due on April 30 and Flower Child ATC's are due on May 15.  Please feel free to click on the Art 42 link and join in!

FABRIC TAG SWAP

For a change of pace, three of us challenged each other to swap and design fabric tags using Tim Holtz fabric/s.  I added a rusty bird element to my bird cage that I had on hand, some fringe and pretty ribbons, as well as some Ideaology components to complete my tags.  Thank goodness for Pellon wonder-under that I used to fuse the fabric to my tags and also used to back my Zetti elements which I ironed into place with a small quilting iron - much less messy than glue or matte medium when working with fabric or small paper pieces.

IN A ZETTI-ISH FRAME OF MIND

After enrolling in ,The Artstronauts Club, created and hosted by Teesha and Tracy Moore (the originators of Zetti style), I played with the techniques featured in one of the video sessions presented by Teesha.  Here are my Zetti journal pages and tag:

  How much fun would it be to create a Zetti floor cloth for spring?  Or how about painted canvas pillow covers for the deck?

SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC ATC SWAP - ARIES

I've been hosting Signs of the Zodiac ATC card swap on Art 42 for the past ten months.  We are now up to Taurus, but I thought I would post my recently completed swap for Aries the Ram - March 21 to April 20.  Using a ram image, I added an overlay which I purchased at Deviant Scrap and came up with this for my design:
