Old-Fashioned - IF

A good old-fashioned watercolour inspired by my daughter soundly asleep in her pushchair. We really are an old-fashioned family; my husband works and I look after our little girl and our home and I feel like the luckiest person in the whole world!

These are the artist trading cards (3.5 X 2.5 in) that I have made and submitted for Septembers swap in the ATC UK facebook group (see link on blog below this). I have sent 4 to be traded and kept one for my own file. They are on handmade paper and are mixed media. I had so much fun making them and hope that more and more people will join the monthly swaps.
Let me know what you think about them.

Artist Trading Cards

I have recently found out about an artform that is both inspiring and exciting, Artist Trading Cards, they are cards the size of traditional sports trading cards but are original pieces of artwork just in minature. Artists swap them, for fun rather than profit. I have decided to join two facebook groups that hold monthly swaps and have already finished my first series. The first is all medias but the second is based soley on photography! I am really enjoying it and hope that many more people will become involved. The links below are for the groups that I have joined.
