atc's

Here is a small collection of atc's I made the last month. Some of the backgrounds are made with gesso, acrylic paints, stamps or gesso, inks and salt/sand. With added collaged papers or postage stamps.

And this is a collection of photo atc's. One of the swaps I am participating in, is about interesting mailboxes.

Yes, I realise that I should have ironed these fabrics before I took the pictures :-)
