Checking in...

Well, I only made it half-way through the December photo challenge before I had to give up my camera...our transmission went out, and having to pay thousands of dollars to fix that meant giving up new toys...boo! But on a happier side-note - I did find my old camera so I have one again. Still not as good as the one I dropped (and definitely not the new one), but at least I can still take pictures...right!?

Anyways, I've still been doing a little art here and there. 

These two cards were for a personal trade.

 These cards were for the December PAT. The themes were a zebra (any color), a cat with wings, a rainbow lego man, and a rooster.

The themes for this group were Queen Elizabeth the 1st, Farscape TV show, a moonlight landscape with a house and trees, and a Thomas Kincade inspired landscape.

November PAT

Even though I've really scaled back my ATCs I still can't resist a PAT! I get to pick my own theme, and I'm usually happier with those returns. So, I've signed up for a few more PATs.

 The themes for this group were: Buddha, mushroom house, realistic snail, and realistic bird. 

 The themes for this zentangle-group were: sunshine, heart, flower, and cat.

September PAT

 Only a few months behind now, hehe.

For this group the themes were: the art of Arthur Rackham, a portrait of an artist in their own style, a rainbow giraffe and elephant, and a comedic portrayal of the players cat.

 For this group the themes were: Rumpelstiltskin, a dog dressed up, a bumblebee, and a heron.

In the Style of...

Some of my favorite swaps are 'in the style of...' swaps where you are given an artist and have to create your own art in their style. I really enjoy the challenge, and the results are always pleasing. This swap was around the style of Rosina Wachtmeister.

 This was for the Halloween PAT. I joined the zentangle group, and the themes were: candy corn, owl, pumpkins, and spider webs.

The Strangely Blue Swap and another Zen PAT

The 4 Elements PAT

 The themes for the air group were: an elephant with wings, a witch, a fairy, and an owl.

For the water group the themes were: pieces, dancing in the rain, a mermaid with wings, and dolphins.
