Working at an Antique store helps. I look for clear snap shots, cabinet photo's and a few I get out of books and people send me some. I love them. The two atcs have images from paper whimsey.com. Like your avitar picture, it has a special charm.
It was good to see you at Mystic Paper Saturday! These ATCs are beautiful! I love the rose color! Everyone goes on and on about the picture of Buddy I painted in your class. I don't tell them that you helped me with it. I found a post card of a cow that had great colors! It would be a fun one to paint.
Hi, just wanted to say thanks for visiting me :) I very much enjoyed gazing at all the beautiful and special photos you have here! Most of the antique shops I've been to have a collection of vintage/older photos, with and without names/dates and I like to wonder about their lives and how their pictures ended up where they did.
I am a mixed media artist born in Michigan and living in Arizona. I work at an antique store in Mesa Az. I have been in retail all my life. I love to decorate, I have done window decorating and have recently put my talents to doing vignettes and painting. I teach classes at Mystic Paper across the street from the Antique Plaza. Some of the art I do: Altered Books, Artist Trading Cards (Atc's), Collage Art, and painting in acrylics.
