Artist Arches ATCs

For this ATC swap, the theme was to have the ATC be in the shape of an arch of some sort, and have the word "art" reflected in the piece.  I enjoyed this challenge, and thought I'd share some results!

The above piece has the word "art" spelled out in some artistic stamps that I found.  They aren't real postage stamps, just sort of art stamps.  The background of the piece is layers of paint over an aerial map - an old one that Jeff doesn't use any longer!  I also added some rubber stamped images on it. 

This piece used book pages as the background, with paint and a marble effect rubber stamp over it.  I then used a scrap piece of handmade paper, stamped with the word "art" and a butterfly image to complete the piece.

This piece has sheet music covered by paint and rubber stamps as the background.  Again, I used a piece of handmade paper stamped with the words "primitive art".  The image of the woman reminded me of the type of art that seems somewhat primitive, kind of like a Grandma Moses type of art.

And, finally this piece speaks to the supplies we need to create art.  Again, book pages covered with paint and some circles stamped from using an old pill bottle make up the background.  The image of used crayons speak to how most of our supplies look after a while!

Enjoy!
