Turquoise is my favorite color a the the moment and I was lucky enough to participate in a Turquoise atc swap a few months ago, organised by ros.
i received these little beauties back in the mail just before Christmas...
these are mine i sent off, some asian papers inc tissue, kimono scraps and gold choccy wrappers collaged and inked with turquoise [id been wanting to try inks and bought a bottle specially for this....
i really loved the background and didn't want to cover it too much so stencilled a circle with gesso and used one of my typo birdy stamps. i softened it with some Lumiere powder.
Thank you to everyone who participated, i didn't do many swaps last year and it was really lovely to add them to my collection, thanks Ros too for organsisng it.....
so hows all your new years resolutions going.....?
im purging like you wouldnt believe.... and it feels so good !
im tackling my bedroom which has become a bit of drop off point for everything and every time i think i m getting to the end i find another bag of stuff to sort out. so far i have sent off 4 bags of material to friends, [ im a bit of a collecter of curtain fabric :( ], a big tub of books and garbo bag to the op shop, 2 bags of rubbish and another bag of papers for the recyclying. i took a pile of mags in work as well....
Im sorting all the girls keepsakes, school reports, photos etc into their own big tubs as i go too. That way when they eventually leave home they can take them with them, well thats the plan anyways....
Im determined to have a 'nice' bedroom this year and will repaint after i have done all the sorting...sooon i hope !

Wow lovely turquoise themed cards Jenxo. I missed signing up for that swap but you know the fall is so busy with shows for me.
I hear you about your bedroom, my goal is to do the same but throughout the house. How does one collect so much stuff????
Lovely post and loved your ATC's. The colours are gorgeous.

Oooh, I just love the turquoise; such a lovely color. What a great idea for a swap. I need to look around and find some good swaps to join; I haven't done an ATC in a long time! Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
Ooooh Jen, how very pretty all the cards are. I really like the color turquoise as well and everyone's interpretation of it is great! Thanks for sharing; I need to do some ATC swaps, I haven't done any in a while and I miss them.
