ATC trades at Make It University

expressly yours artist trading cards

Quilting Arts and Cloth Paper Scissors are hosting an incredible ATC (artist trading cards) trade event. If you plan on attending the International Quilt Festival in Long Beach, CA, I strongly encourage you to create some Artistic Trading Cards with an entertainment theme. For every card you bring in, you will take the same number home. How exciting - imagine bringing 30 cards and leaving with 30 individual little works of art. Check out their link here for more info

Our contributions above are based on a love for music. We’ve added small light weight heart buttons. They are pretty cute, if you don’t mind me saying.

If you play along, stop by our booth and show off. Booth #1656, on a corner of the Make It University quadrant. Hoping to you.

Cloth Paper Scissors

Cloth-Paper-Scissors

Terry and I have been fortunate to have met some members of the fabulous team at Interweave Press, during the IQF in Chicago, this past April. They were gracious in advice and camaraderie (they are forgiven for persuading me to join in the fun of the Surviving The Runway - Make It University line dance and parade).

Cloth Paper Scissors insidetook an interest in our collages of ceramic buttoned pieces, and we have been featured in the Business at Hand article in the July/August 2008 issue. YEA!!! Doing the happy dance right now…  If you are not familiar with this magazine, sister publication of Quilting Arts, and you are fan of mixed media, you must check it out. Interweave press also publishes Fiberarts magazine, a big favorite of mine. What I love about these publications is they feature a broad scope of subjects; there is yummy inspiration and instructions for everyone.

MIU plaques 2

Excitement aplenty; I’m almost giddy. Make It University, by Quilting Arts, has updated their web-site and it is looking pretty. It is still two weeks before the deadline for proposals, but parental unit and I are having fun auditioning fabrics and papers for the backgrounds of the plaques. By Monday, we intend to have finished samples to post. They look so naked, almost vulnerable right now.

Series 18

March 21 finished cards from recent kiln opening

Here are a small sampling of finished collage cards of the glazed buttons seen in the kiln opening post of March 17. I finally ventured into black glaze and love the shiny little nuggets of handmade goodness. I also forced myself to do a bunch of neutrals and loved the fat happy elephant in this series. Click on the above image to see him in the full album.
