Artist trading card movement started in 1996, when couple artists made thousands of little art pieces sized the same as baseball cards 3.5" by 2.5".
They told everyone who wants to get one, has to bring their own to trade. THey are fun and quick(usually - it depends on the technique, of course)to make because they are so small. They don't have to be done from paper.
I did some from fabric with some Peltex inside to make it stiffer. A lot of artists like to use vinatage look images, buttons, lace, charms.

Here is the spring again!
It is getting warmer here in Southern California(winters can be quite cold here too, not freezing, but cold enough for me).
Lately I've been doing not just felting, but also carving rubber stamps, making and drawing atcs(artists trading cards), making paper from junk mail and used envelopes. My next project is a folder cover for my guitar class sheet music. I already gathered some vintage photos of people playing guitar and hope that my fabric transfer paper will come soon, so I can start.
For now I am announcing
