One of the best things about teaching classes that require demos is that you end up with more artwork to use. I taught a background class at Art Connection over the weekend, and the finished background that I demo'd during class was perfect to use for this month's ATC swap theme - in honor of Chinese new year - Asian-themed ATCs. Three are for the swap and one is for the swap hostess. The background is an adaptation of a technique I learned from Misty Mawn's article in ClothPaperScissors last year. The background techniques create such depth and texture, I never tire of experimenting with them.The title of this blog comes from a friend who once told me that you can add the words "between the sheets" to the end of any Chinese fortune cookie, and it always makes them funny. So far, it always works for me (and I eat a LOT of Chinese food)...
like this:
You will meet a tall dark stranger... between the sheets
You will get a big promotion... between the sheets
Okay, so it doesn't take much to amuse me ...between the sheets
ha ha

These are FANTASTIC! It doesn't take much to amuse me as well - that tall dark stranger between the sheets would do the trick :)
We love that little add on to the fortunes, too! And, I love your art -- so deep and alluring!
Beautiful ATC's. That rich, textured background really works well with the Asian theme.
