WOYWW #217 – ATC-mini

Hi folks.
I'm no 'real' WOYWW-er yet but since I took a pic of my workdesk-mess yesterday night I thought I could join in just as well :-)

WOYWW means What's on Your Workdesk (on) Wednesdays and is hosted by Julia Dunnit at the Stamping Ground. If you want to know what this all is about please pay her a visit and have a look at her blog - and at people's workdesks all over the world.
So this is my desk (erm, dining room table actually) - the way it looks like when I'm doing some brainless ATCs :-D

I've been working on a ATC-mini-booklet from small envelopes. To 'accessorize' it I made some ATCs with my gut instead of my brain LOL ... I have to admit I usually love them the most :-D

These are the ATCs I made:



All of them are made with gelli plate print backgrounds and partly with separate gelli collage elements - and various stamps.

I'm linking this up too at Carolyn Dube's Colorful Gelli Print Party - July.


And I'm also linking it up to smudgy antics where the challenge is fussy cutting - although this little project isn't creepy at all :-P ;-D

If you are still here you can have a look at the mini album too. I used designpaper 'printery' by prima:

front
inside pockets
back
Thank you so much for stopping by and having a look ...

Hugs, Suzanne xx

    Hi Suzanne, you have joined in and I have not joined in this week! Still wanted to say hello. Your desk looks so creative and I love your ATCs but then you are so very clever with your gelli plates........ Hugs, Anne x

    Wow, plenty of project here. I agree love the ATC's you have done, had to go back and look at the backgrounds when you said they were from the gelli plate - must do more with mine.

    I love the look of your artwork and I completely agree that crafting from the soul always, but always, works better than when you've thought things out. It's like writing my blog..people have commented about how I write but to be honest, I just sit down, relax and the words come tumbling out!
    I adore steampunk and patterns so your work really appeals to me. I like your blog background too..and where is that castle tower that features in your blog header?
    Hugs, LLJ #20 xx

    Wonderful artwork, Suzanne - I hope you will grace us with your creative presence more often on WOYWW! Gelli printing seems to have gone "viral" recently and I can't wait to try my hand at it, but it will be a while before my new ARTHaven is up and running sufficiently! We've hit a bit of a hitch over the moving date which we hoped would be at the end of August but it may have to be delayed.

    I feel very fortunate to have such a beautiful room, but judging by your fabulous work, a lovely room isn't strictly necessary lol! It's just a lot more convenient!

    Happy WOYWW,
    Shoshi #66

    OK so what is Gelli plate? Sorry, but never heard of it. Not that I need it for Pyrography, but my wife Margaret (glitterandglue) may wish to use it if I knew what it was. Thanks for stopping by my site and leaving a comment. Kind regards and happy WOYWW, john-w #23

    I love, love, love your ATCs, especially that lovely flying pig but they're all great. If this is creating from your gut - you have super imaginative guts!!! Thanks for sharing. Julie Ann xx #12

    I love the look and feel of your ATCs. I've never tried gelli printing, but it looks fascinating.

    Happy Woyww,

    Wow I am in love. Your ATC's are all wonderful, I so love using my Gelli Prints for backgrounds too, but it is your gorgeous Mini book with those fabulous Prima Papers that has me captivated. Totally gorgeous! Danie #25

    I'm a bit late visiting this week....I had a really manic day yesterday with my sewing. Thought I'd call in before today became the same!
    I'm chuckling here cos I'm now sure what a real WOYWWer is....we all just show our desks and you're one of those this week. :-)

    Hi Suzanne, it's always fun to WOYWW, but it's nice that you can dip in and out too. I've been a bit of a sceptic about gelli prints - right up until I saw your ATCs - and now I can see the attraction! Your brainless ATCs are fantastic! I think the flying pig is my favourite - but then me and flying pigs have history (here if you're interested http://maisiemoonshines.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/m-is-for-magasin.html )Thanks for your visit today, have a great week, and maybe see you next Wednesday?

      Dear anonymous, I don't know if you come back, but ATC stands for Artist Trading Card and as the name suggests it's meant to be swapped with others. It's a small piece of art, 2,5x3,5 inches small. Hope that helps. Suzanne
