Calling All Angels ATCI made this ATC for a swap & (lucky for me ) it kinda fits this week's Mix It Up With Melange prompt. If you have any Heavenly mixed media art you've created, click through & add your link in the comments. If you just want to check out some cool art pieces, that is where you'll find them.
This atc started with a photo I took years ago that was altered in P.Elements. The angel was then printed onto textured paper & enhanced with watercolors. This was trimmed & glued to a piece of red mat board. The whole thing was worked over with colored pencils,pastels & metallic gel pen. Then colored swarovski crystal pieces were glued on. Unfortunately I had a hard time getting a good photo of the little sparkly bits
On different note, I finally had a sale on Etsy - feels like it has been forever! It is easy to come up with excuses, but the reality is that I've not listed anything new in ages. I've just been making stuff & setting it aside.
My drawings have not been selling, so I've pulled out the mat cutter and am busy making acid free mats. These will allow the art to fit easily into standard sized frames. I'll be adding these to ArtSnark.etsy.com this week & sure hope this helps make them more appealing.
By the way, If you haven't signed up for tomorrow's 2 random drawings, you have until noon (EST) on 9/24. Click through for details:
1 winner receives a custom printed 18" x 24" poster from Uprinting.com - US only
The 2nd winner chooses 1 print from Koniver.etsy.com - Worldwide

I like it. And if I ever get a job and disposable income I'm going to visit your etsy site.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the sale! I think I may have completely, or mostly partially given up hope for etsy sales!
ReplyDeleteAbout our boys with their negative attitudes for school, I finally resorted to good ol' reverse psychology! Works like a charm! He loves school now! Funny how those old tried and true tricks work sometimes!
Beautiful striking colors
