Mary Jane Chadbourne is one of my favorite artists--I could look at her work for hours and always find something new in her art pieces--just beautiful. So I knew that I wanted to take her online class last month--The Spoken Soul over at the Artful Gathering ning site. It's all about making ATC cards from what else--playing cards. I've actually never made ATC's before, so everything was 'new' for me. But once I got going, I couldn't stop--

This was just the start with the first set of cards...AND....the first layer--many layers to follow....
I started out with these--but that was just the beginning...
Each one takes on a life of it's own and has a little 'story' to tell--very addictive to make! So I put my own little spin on them, and decided to put them in my own art pieces--

The things that you can do with these ATC's are limitless...or you can use them for their original purpose--to trade with other artists--but however you use them--they're just a fun way to make some art when you're short on time but want to create. I'm so glad that I took this class from Mary Jane--and as an added bonus--she's a great teacher also---love her style all around!
