My first fiber ATCs

Joanne from the crazy quilt email group I belong to is hosting a fiber ATC (artist trading card) swap. Although the group is for crazy quilting, the ATCs don't have to be crazy quilted, as long as they're fiber. The only other rule is that they must be "regulation" ATC size, 2.5" X 3.5". Participants can make up to 5 ATCs, and we'll each receive the same number back that we sent in. I've never made fiber ATCs before, but I think it will be fun to play. My plan right now is to make 5, but we'll see how busy I get over the summer. They will be due in Sept.

I think I'm going to do a series using this image from my Penscore pads. I first heard about Penscore pads and how to use them in an online class called "Tempting Techniques," taught by Carol Murphy through Joggles. (I have no affiliation with Joggles.) Anyway, I used the Penscore pad to make an impression of some woodwork on my daughter's antique headboard. Then I used some different colors of Lumiere paints to stamp onto muslin fabric. Each impression is 3" X 4", so I'll have to trim them down when I make the ATCs.

I made several different impressions, so I can pick my fave 5. The second one didn't turn out at all like I planned. I thought I had cleaned all the green paint off the Penscore pad before I put the gold on, but apparently some green was still on there. Actually, though, I like the effect. It looks kind of aged.
These two green ones were the first two I painted, and they may be the best prints.
I don't think Lumiere makes a RED paint, but this pearlescent magenta is pretty in its own right:)

I'm not really sure what I'll be doing for each ATC. This is probably the first time in my life when I've started a project without having a set plan in mind. I wouldn't want to work without any plan on a bigger project, but with such small end-products, I don't mind. I'm looking forward to doing some experimenting.
