Haven't had a lot of time for crafts recently but ATCs are just the kind of art one can do with a small amount of time. (If you haven't heard about them
here is a little info.) The guideline for this swap was to have a cut-out and an add on item. I really enjoyed learning more about foraging while in the US this last year so I thought that would be a great theme for this card. I used a page from my old, worn copy of
Peterson's A Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants: Eastern and Central North America that had fallen out for the middle ground. The trillium is a pen and watercolor pencil drawing displayed in the cutout of the text. I added more forgeable plants on top in the form trim, drawing and beads.

I also had some excitement in that I won the ATC giveaway from
Bridget. This was her Additive/Subtractive Book Page card from a 1953 yearbook about Queen Elizabeth II's coronation. Nicely done!
And on to other small things, this week, on Spoonflower, is a Microorganism design contest. My younger son was excited about this theme and asked to help design my entry. He did all of the drawing and I am responsible for the color of this small scale ditsy design. Please consider voting.
