Rolodex Art

Besides painting crows all day long and moderating my sites, I have fallen in love with trading rolodex cards on ATCsForALL.com . The fact that this kind of trade is "useful" helps me justify my new addiction. I am exchanging names and addresses of members of the site, so when we trade art, I already have an original 3x5 inch piece of their art style. I love that - here are some I have made:

I bought a new tray holder for my rolos because the round one kept getting hung up with all the fibers and chunky stuff. Of course, that meant I had to alter it! So I did. I used a bunch of layers of acrylics with tons of varnish so it would look like it had been made of ceramic. I am pleased with how it turned out. It sits next to my monitor so I can see it 24/7.

I love my rolos!

Journal - Cardinal and Blue Jay Journal Spread for Merricat



"Cardinal and Blue Jay" - Journal Pages
Collection of Kristi Zoebelein
The theme of Merricat's journal was "Birds", so I painted my two favorite birds in acrylic like watercolors. What a treat! The pages went so fast and the journaling was a kick as I went all around the pages, then mounted them on coordinating cardstock. These journals are all approximately 8x8 inches, so the larger area to paint is lots of fun.
