Extended atcs-artist trading cards
>> Tuesday, 29 November 2011
I haven't done much mail art this year, will be December soon and the last posting dates for oversea mail creeps up so quickly. Art wise I have been busy even buying kits to keep my mind chase away the drama I've been having. I make a lot of atcs and each one is creative expermental just every time I start a new one it's feels like working on a blank canvas. The block caused by a white empty sheet is a constant battle I aim to win. Like killing people in pvp.
These I aim to keep rather than trade because I need something to keep the creative juices going, filling the well. My intention was to use bamboo tooth picks but they were not long enough so end up using wire. I love the carver eraser stamps they have rustic handmade charm but also have loads of wooden mounted rubber stamps. There are space saving clear rubber stamps nothing beats handmade.
This opens up like a book, I used my newly found crochet skills to make a beaded rope. Have made any atcs the rest I have are emo, created when I felt down. You would feel like this if live in noisy household with hardly any workspace. I'm tired cause by an idiot making excessive noise, all I hear is constant thud of a mahjong tile smashed on the table and yes I did tell. Seems some people are too stupid to get the message.
I found 2 interesting article on first glance it was about Art as a visual poetry there's no indication it was a mailart call. I'll add this later when I get a decent night's sleep, the text is Portuguese and English. Don't know if I ever will get back on mailart scene because my time is mostly dominated by playing MMo. Honestly I rather be crafting.
