ATART on August 27-30

[CastleQueen5]

Here are the mosaic cards I've been working on:
Attachment 225587 atart 8
Attachment 225588 atart 9
Attachment 225589 atart 10
Attachment 225590 this one I'm keeping
Attachment 225591 these are for the abstract swap

I used more alcohol ink paper for the tiles and copic markers for grout.

What color is the copic marker? Those are really really cool. I want to try that soon.

I got a slow start but finally got productive. I love seeing everyone's creations.
Here are my map cards:
Attachment 225594
Attachment 225595

Are the map cards for a swap? Or are they up for trade. I would like one.

It wouldn't be an athon if I weren't sneaking in under the wire. In my defense, I may the cards earlier than had scanner woes, which I finally fixed. I'm feeling much better, but I'm going to go to bed as this morning, I still had no energy and I don't want to push my luck. Tomorrow I'll catch up on messages and eye candy.

Thanks for hosting, Sanna!

Well here I am at the end posting a few. Last night I dumped a plate full of items I cut out...it went everywhere...once I cleaned it up with some resorting I just went to sleep. I am glad as I came back with new vigor...then it started...a day of constant interruptions...don't these people understand I have an athon!
I went back to the fall theme. One of the cards has bright orange, it never scans well (looks yellow) but I still like the color.



I really need to clean up my workspace!

Linda, the cards are perfect!

[sniisk]

Thank you everyone for playing! I will still ask for some trades as soon as I have time.

I like all of those! I like the clean lines, and they are not cluttered like mine can be. I will pm you for a final trade.

I love the fall cards. I have this thought that I need all the fall cards that exist. I do not.
I am that way with coffee, tea, sunflower, zebra, and cat cards too. I have to reign myself in. I have a huge atc collection that spans a bookshelf full of 3 ring binders. I am not a minimalist, for sure. I looked up the spelling of minimalist so I could all the vowels in the right place. UGh, I thought it was a person who used and owned less. I am sure it does, as it is applied, but the definition is

min·i·mal·ist
/ˈminəmələst/
Learn to pronounce
noun
1.
a person who advocates or practices minimalism in art or music.
2.
a person advocating minor or moderate reform in politics.
adjective
1.
relating to minimalism in art or music.
2.
advocating moderate political policies.


What is the minimalist lifestyle?
Image result for minimalist
Owning fewer possessions and living a minimalist life means that you have less to lose. You will experience less stress because you have less to worry about. Minimalist living forces you to remove a lot of stuff from your life which means there's more space for other things in your life.

Great Atart, wonderful art, I will be mailing trades by Friday. Everyone Be Safe and Well.

[sniisk]

I hope to pack my trades today and mail them tomorrow morning.

My power went out briefly for about an hour during the day. I thought it was weather related because it flickered on and off a few times. But no, it was a car accident that took out a power pole. It was a fatality. The closed off the road by our house, that is how we know. If someone dies the road is closed, otherwise they just redirect traffic.

The power came back on, but the internet did not. I really need my connection to see the addresses and the pms. I was kind of bored without internet. My phone doesnt do much of the fun stuff without internet either.

I am up at 4 am, cause the cat told me, "hey, I'm hungry, and your dogs are ugly". Yep she really said that.

What a way for you to end yesterday and start today, CQ.

My cards are ready to go out in today’s mail and ATART cards are transferred from the athon gallery to my available gallery. Thanks for hosting sniisk.

[KESagers]

Thank you to Sniisk for getting us together for a marathon! I had a great time and enjoyed all the art that was posted. I'm already looking forward to the Halloween ATART!!!!

[somnia]

That went so fast! I wanted to make more fall cards. Thank you for hosting, sniisk! I'm working on putting together mailings now and will hopefully get them all to the post office tomorrow.

A Halloween ATART athon will be fun

[Seascape131]

Hello....all my trades have been mailed....thank you..sniisk

[Linda4atc]

My trade went in the mail today.

Somnia , you always make more fall cards and put in your available gallery. Then either search for trades yourself, and PM the person. Or just be well stocked with choices when the Halloween ATART starts.

[Lorna]

This athon was great fun and needed! Thank you sniisk for suggesting and hosting
Some of my trades were mailed yesterday. The rest go out on Monday!

[CastleQueen5]

I did get mine mailed.

[Lorna]

I finally mailed the rest out...
