As usual, the ATC exchange at CAG today was a lot of fun. Here are my contributions to the event:

I love how the fall edition of the ATC exchange happens around my Birthday. This year it’s on a day before, so I got four early Birthday gifts:

I planned to try something new with ATC for this exchange at CAG: galloping horse hooves, parts of horse faces, or something like that. Instead, I ended up with four whole horse heads.
Maybe the fact that Newborn is taking longer than anticipated to get finished has something to do with it, I don’t know.
Here are the heads:
And this is what I got from my wonderful fellow artists:
Yesterday at the meeting in the Campbell Artists’ Guild we had an artist trading card exchange. This is what I brought, they are my experiments with metal pens and markers combined with colored pencils:
And this is what I got in return:
Pretty wonderful extra gifts for my Birthday! 🙂
We had an artist trading card exchange at today’s CAG meeting. Here is my contribution:
colored pencil on illustration board, 2.5″ x 3.5″
That’s my first experience with the illustration board, I am not sure if I liked it. The thing has no tooth at all, very weird. Not sure who got my card, the exchange took place at the very end of the meeting and was a little hurried.
And this is what I got from a fellow CAG member, Sharon LaBouff:
I am very pleased to have Sharon’s little piece.
