more ATCs

I haven't completely flipped my wig for ATCs, but given the opportunity I could see myself investing way too much time in these little numbers. I like making the envelopes (template here) as much as I like making and thinking about making the cards. Fun FUN FUN!!!

I am wondering something though...maybe some of you experienced ATC traders could tell me...how many hours of work go into an "average" (yet good enough to trade) ATC? I don't know if they should be "mini-masterpieces" or just something to do when you want a small, quick project to work on. There must be some traders out there with some advice... I'm really looking forward to my first swap with the ladies of my guild. I think it will be really interesting to see what everyone comes up with.

My first ATC

I think I could really get into these little ATCs.

We are having a guest artist visit our EGA meeting tomorrow night to tell us more about this hot phenomenon in the fiber arts world. They are so small that you can't screw one up too badly (although my peacock feather is more than a touch "wonky"), and they go really fast.

I do think I'll try my hand at some more after I get a little commitment stitching done.

fun Fun FUN!
