ATCs swaps




I have been swapping very happily through 2 yahoo groups: Art4mail and Surface Design.
I am also a subscriber to Atcsforall and thought the illuminated letters looked like something I would love to do.
These had to be hand drawn or handpainted.
I struck nothing but obstacles: I tried it on canvas paper and they looked seriously crappy.
I need a US$1 note and can't get 10 anywhere. Not the postoffice, not my bank. Then I did the hand drawn ones, they are here and I am disappointed in them as well.
Oh well....I haven't put my ATC label on the back, so now I have to wait till maybe someone whose first name starts with E, F, G or H has a birthday!
Deep sigh: should have stuck to my medium of choice although I have to say, I did enjoy making them, I just don't think they have been done accurately enough....
