Somerset Style postcard in an envelope was fun to create. Cutting the flower took some time, but so worthwhile. The postcard was printed on glossy photo paper and is a picture of the painting Pinkie painted in 1794 by Thomas Lawrence. Isn't she beautiful! The postcard is suitable for mailing. I wonder if my 'swap partner' will mail the card?

A Pinkie Postcard
It's been some time since I've updated 'The Attic Window'. I know, shame on me! But life tends to be this way and I know better then to say to my self "I'll do it tomorrow." And we all know that tomorrow never comes. So, here goes!

Inchies ~ Just inching along!
I've discovered 'inchies.' One inch square pieces of art. How cute these are. Don't know what I'm going to do with them, but for now I'm enjoying these little treasures.
White Out ~ Challenge #1 ~ This was the first inchie that I created. We were to make four inchies using white as the main color. Other than some color on the shells I was true to the color challenge.
Yellow Submarine ~ Challenge #2 ~ I had to think about this for awhile. I knew that I had the lady in yellow with my clip art and new that she just had to be on this inchie. But how to do this? Well, just cut her in half. Then the beetles and their classic song 'Yellow Submarine' 'cause 'we all live in a yellow submarine!'
Pastels ~ Challenge #3 ~ Pastels. Spring. Flowers in those lovely shades of cherry blossoms, daffodil yellow, red bud, fresh green of new leaves. Many colors to choose from. And again I needed my ladies, but just their faces this time. Chose the color, inked the edges, embellished, raised the ladies and put liquid glass on their hair, sun flower and eyes, and gems and sequins for pizazz!
Tickled Pink ~ Challenge #4 ~ Again browsing through clip art. Let me introduce you to 'Pinky.' "pinky' is originally a painting. I have also seen her in figurines. Sweet young lady and she came for a visit on this inchie. The clip art has been re sized for the one inch square format and then I begin to cut them out. Roses, pink dogwood, and a water lilly grace the inchies with 'Pinky.' A dap of liquid glass and they are complete.
I wonder what the next color challenge will be? I'll let you know.

A Challenge In 'Art"
It has been some time since I've updated at The Atti Window.
So, what Have I been doing since the first of the year? Have created various 'art creations' for swap partners. I have had fun with that. Here are just a few of the pieces I've sent.
These cute creations are called 'skinnys'. They are 3" x 5" and are only for trading. The challenge was to create a red skinny and this was a first for me. Red card stock for the backing with a sheet of music that an ink pad was pounced on. The red flower was printed on the music and the vintage lady was cut out and placed onto the music. She is 'dusting' the flower with a white feather. Using a deco sissors completed the 'Red Skinny".
The next challange was the white skinny. The vintage lady
was printed in black and white on white card stock. Her lips, cheeks and eyes called for some color, so she has 'lipstick, rouge, and blue eyes'. Cutting around her head allowed me to cover the background and the sides of her dress with netting. Sequins and jewels completed the background and on the dress. I think she is very elegant. One comment indicated that she was their muse. She looks like she is waiting for her beau to visit. Wonder what he looks like?
