September ATC's... So Far

Here's the September ATC's i've made so far.

These were all swapped on swap-bot for various swaps.

The top one in this photo was done on handmade paper with a cutout from a Late July cookie box and little shells glued to each corner. The bottom one in the photo was just on some card stock with some picures cut out of Adventure National Geographic. The background is a picure of a map.

Here is what the quote says in case some of you can't read it:

There is a magical tie to the land of your home,

Which the heart cannot break,

Though the footsteps may roam.

Again I used handmade paper as a background for this one. More cutouts of pictures out of Adventure National Geographic, and more sand from the Oregon coast. Somehow, with glitter and glue and tearing the edge of the paper I made the water splashing up on the shore look amazingly realistic.
The butterfly ones were'nt very difficult to make using mulberry paper and stickers of butterflies.

These I did a bit more with using deckle edged scissors on some pretty paper that I got off from a pretty package I got in the mail, a little chalk ink on the edges and little glitter and drawn on scrolls and that's it.

Now this one is more special because it got me back into drawing again. I used to draw so much when I was younger but rarely get around to doing much of that anymore. I drew the chickadee from a photo I took at the begining of this month out on my front porch.

Here is the photo.
