can't, can't wait to start drawing and painting again   bear_flower

These ATC cards may be a blessing in disguise -

don't you think that sometimes you focus on one thing and ignore the other gifts you have?

I think that everyone can produce art yet sometimes we choose to channel all our artistic abilities into one thing and come up against a brick wall when we try to produce just one thing.

OK, i know that was'nt a good grammatical sentence but ATC's may be what we've all been waiting for so don't be afraid to produce some.

I know that some of us may be thinking that this is just another way of alienating us from those who obviously have a great artistic talent - but don't.

Everyone can make an ATC - you don't need a fancy photo programme to produce one.

Buy a pack of playing cards, these are the required size of 2.5 x 3.5. You can use these cards to paste bits and pieces onto. You can use things that mean something to you or just play around with them - if they turn out crappy , bin em and try again.

What i'm trying to say is ..............it would be fab to see the work of all the people that are members of TT and don't be put off by anything

ATC means Artist Trading Card, so if you make bears, you can make a card girls/boys - you obviously have some artistic talent.

Join in - i'm gonna, and i'm crap at art too  bear_thumb

You are so right Penny!!!! And yes, another outlet sometimes helps to unblock the things we focus on....

I've been quite blocked with my bears lately (is it the Winter blues, do you think?). But I had fantastic fun making my first ATC! It was just what I needed....
