Geisha ATC's

This is for one of my first swaps with swap-bot. I used origami paper for the background and hand drew my geishas with sharpie pen and colored them with copic markers.

Matchboxes

These matchboxes were created from scratch using free templates that I found online and colorful scrapbook paper. This swap was for the Altered_stArt Yahoo group. There was an open theme and we could make up to 6 matchboxes to swap. I digitally colorized some bingo images I had to match the colors of my scrapbook paper.  The images of people are from alteredpages.com. Since my matchox covers were game themed I filled my matchboxes with game pieces from my stash.

Red and White Valentine's Tag

This tag is for a monochromatic red and white tag swap with the All Things Tim Yahoo group. I used images from tim Holtz Distressable cd, red and walnuut distress inks, beaded fringe, some red bling, and a bit of fishing tackle which I thought was very "holtz-y".

12 Drummers Drumming

Domino Swap

12 participants, each to make 12 each of one of the 12 days of Christmas, then mail out to each participant one domino.

I used sharpies, Staz-On ink, bling, Diamond Glaze, and ribbon around the outside edge.

More fun with Lisa Vollarath's Grunge Alphabet Pennants. She also has other colors and designs. I have her pink set of alphabet pennants and I can see Valentine's happening.

The fun does not end!!!

Decorated Elephants

Decorated elephant swap, sharpie markers and southeast Asian designs.

Domino Ornaments

This was an ornament swap, we had to incorporate at least one domino. I used Alcohol Inks on the backgrounds, then I stamped a tree across the three dominoes with clear pigment ink and which I sprinkled with gold embossing powder.  After the trees were embossed I used wire to connect the dominoes together. I added beaded fringe to the bottom, mini buttons for ornaments on the trees, and mini scrabble tiles for the words. For the hanger I used glass beads, vintage resin beads, and twisted wire.
