Artist Trading Cards
or ATCs are small works of art Also see my ATC-a-Day project I made these first five cards for the Cloth Paper Scissors ATC swap held at the International Quilt Festival in Rosemont IL in April 2006. They are included in Patricia Bolton's book 1000 Artist Trading Cards on page 83. (Click on an image to see a larger version.) |

The ATCs below are beeswax collages. I use stiff watercolor paper as a base and color that with Dye-na-flow fabric paint before laying down images colored with Prismacolor pencils and sealing the whole design with melted beeswax smoothed with a mini-iron. |

These five
ATCs were done for a calendar-themed swap at the Beeswax Collage Yahoo! group in which
each person had a different month. I did the month of August. |
