The last swap I participated in on www.atcsforall.com is a advanced textile swap. I made two (average) patchwork cards, but then I had the idea of this funny Xmas tree with Zetti legs. My husband liked it so I gave him and made a second one for the swap!

African Statues
He is the African Zetti ATC I ended up with. That was a great creation process!
I needed some African inspiration, so I grabbed a book from my library and ended up enjoying drawing some of the sculpture I once saw in exhibition "Dogons" in Musée Dapper in Paris.

Chair swap cards
With the help of Vincent, I managed to make my cards for the chair swap (the two others are graphite).
As I subscribed to a few art history swaps, I'll be doing more copies. Hopefully I'll increase my self-confidence and develop my own style in the same process.

People pages
I had committed to drawing "people" circle journal pages, when I learned my aunt Michèle's leukemia could not be cured. This photo was proposed just afterwards for a week-end drawing event on wetcanvas.com by Lisilk@wetcanvas.com. I found it represented the sense of quality in work.
So I drew this picture thinking of Michele who was very dedicated to her work. When I drew this I was revolted by the idea my aunt worked hard and would not benefit from retirement. The second page is also after a photo of Lisilk, it was my first drawing after her funerals. I could see trust and teamwork in it.
The thread is of course dedicated to my Aunt.
