busy busy I was really busy today. I'm working hard to finish up all the Mother's Day commissions before I leave in a week to teach in Dallas. Whew! Here's a scan of three ATCs (artist trading cards) that I made for Bernie's book. I am excited to be in her book! I was assigned 3 techniques and had to use one technique per card. For the middle card I was asked to incorporate a page from a phone book. At first I had no idea what to do so I started looking through the phone book to get ideas. When I came across "dating services" right away an idea popped into my head --- a woman thinking about a using a dating service to find herself a man. It was a great way to get an idea for an artwork, who's have thought using the phone book could be so inspirational!? I think I'll try using the phone book to get ideas again! I missed Blow Out tonight because I was watching House. So I'll have to catch it on a re-run. oh the suspense! :: posted @ 10:26 PM by claudine hellmuth:: COMMENTS: (((Claudine))) We are so grateful for all your prayers and compassion during this heart breaking time. Love the ATC's! One of the things I love about your work is it is so greatly Original that I can spot it anywhere =) XO MB # posted by  majamom : 12:26 AM   oh man....i forgot "House" was on last night....drat...smiles, andra # posted by  Anonymous : 6:45 AM   Love the cards!!!
