Alphabet of Life ATCs

So the other part of Swap-Bot is the receiving of items....  Here are the first ATCs I've received... these begin my collection and are for the Alphabet of Life Swap.... Part of the interesting thing is in seeing how different people interpret the theme and create their miniature works of art....

What are some ways you've experienced different interpretations?

the ABCs of ATCs....!

Yes. Yet another Swap-Bot post.  Can't help it.  ; P   So.... I have long been intrigued by ATC (Artist Trading Cards)... think baseball cards but for the art*full inclined.  You can read more here or simply do a search for Artist Trading Cards... you'll be amazed at what comes up.

But I've been somewhat intimidated by the thought of actually creating something termed 'Art'... I seem to do fine with the 'craft' side of Arts & Crafts .... but I was letting ART intimidate me....

well NO LONGER!  Last year (2009) was Reclamation Lindy and this year (2010) I have decided is 'Awakening the Artist'....   I chose a relatively safe forum for my first foray into the world of trading art... This swap is called the Alphabet of Life.  The coordinator had this great alphabet of life from a friend and thought it would be a wonderful theme for a swap.... and she was right.  Our first two were 'Always Pray' and 'Be Kind'.  I read my partner's profile and saw that she liked primitives so tried to create mine with a nod towards that....

I'm hooked.  There will be more posts coming your way revealing the ATCs I create and even, perhaps receive.....

How would you depict the Always Pray and Be Kind for your ATCs?
