These ATC’s are featured in an ATC Gallery that we stumbled over in cyberspace. There are 3 pages of ATC’s to enjoy. We have included a few in this posting. 
Here’s the address http://www.art-e-zine.co.uk/atcnov03.html. Thanks to the girls who have emailed us with sites that are interesting for ATC’s. We will be compiling them and sharing the web addresses with you as soon as we have checked them all out and make sure the links work etc.

We’ve just got our hands on these great little memory capsules from Ranger.
They go together with Ranger memory glass and frames to make your own designer jewellery & embellishments. We can’t wait to have a play with them and will be sure to upload some pictures when we do. In the meantime the pictured ”Seaside Getaway” pendant was made by Tim Holtz and the directions to make it can be found at: http://www.rangerink.com/projects/projects_mar09feature.htm

Here are some images from one of our upcoming 2010 planned workshops, “Treasured Memory Box’. In this project we have “grunged” away, layered, altered and embellished a cigar box. The finished result is a beautiful vintage “meat safe” style box perfect for showcasing times past. Drills, hammers and screwdrivers are out on the table along with found objects, vintage ephemera and more to create your own unique memory box. We’ll be keeping you informed in the near future of when the workshop will be on.

We’re hoping 2010 is going to be a wonderful creative new year for everyone and we are delighted to be bringing you a range of “altered art” style workshops we hope will inspire you.
One of these workshops is vintage inspired ”Dress to Impress”, a canvas project using dress forms as the main theme. Work with acetate, wire, alcohol inks and learn many different finishes and techniques. We will be scheduling this workshop for a bit further down the track and we will keep you posted on this information. Hope you will join us!
