MAN TO MAN ARTIST TRADING CARD CHALLENGE




Thank you for all of your good wishes that came my way during a bad time but I am back and back to deliver, I have missed this blog and all it's wonderful followers the lovely people I consider to be my blogland friends.

It will take some catching up but I will get back on track.

And so to start us off we have a fab challenge from a lovely friend and well known mixed media artist in both blogland and the craft world.... The lovely Heather and if you don't already know her you do not know what you are missing....go visit her gawjuss blog you will be glad that you did.







This is what Heather had to say about herself
Who knew that a rubber stamp of a Scottie dog would lead to a passion for mixed media art?
I'm Heather Robinson and I am a self-taught mixed media/altered art/collage artist with roots in rubber stamping.
Up until about 5 years ago, I was a stamping whirlwind making greeting cards by the hundreds.
A good friend convinced me (reluctantly at first) to try making artist trading cards and my world opened up from there.
I began dabbling in collage and it felt to me like “coming home”. I had always had an interest in altering books, likely spurred on by the fact that I’m a librarian and spend my days surrounded by books, but I had never really devoted much time to it.
That changed when I was invited to participate in a number of round robin journal projects.
Recent passions include beeswax collage, encaustic art and art journaling.

I have been published in “Rubber Stamper”, “Stampers' Sampler”, “Take Ten” and “Artful Blogging” magazines.






A big thank you to Linda who set our brilliant Tryptich challenge my word her Artist Trading Cards which she created were amazing.
