March and April ATC Sessions in Bishan Library... Paper Traders ATC Swap

We had Rita to show us stamping techniques, namely masking and layering, for the March ATC session in Bishan Library.

I researched a little into stamping and found some other techniques to try on my ATCs.  I love adding a wee bit of embroidery particularly.

Traded for Rita's opened door and Helen Lim's Little Bear which she did during the March stamping session. I did the Rose one with making and layering. 

During April session, we tried line drawing - blind contour and continuous line drawing.  Most of us aren't too good with drawing, at least not me, but these are the occasions when I will try what I don't usually do on my own.  Well, we discovered an artist among us - our Librarian, Wei Lian!  She will be teaching us how to draw still life for next month session.

I did my ATCs with more stamping, this time using the back of clear stamps, and 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation images.  More embroidery too!

Swapped my ATCs for Mdm Au's quilled humming bird and Doris' drawing of Mdm Au!  I did a carousel horse drawing in continuous line.

Paper Traders had another ATC swap "My Wish For You".  I wish you will always be in good time and times! 

Received "Well of Happiness" by Ann Cameron, "Butterfly Muse" by Pam Colosimo, "Art Inspired by Nature" by Amanda, and "Time to Paint" by Nydia Dominguez.

At the Flyer, Lots of Angels and a Stamping Party

We went up the Singapore Flyer a 2nd time this Dec, this time to see Singapore at night. This 1st photo showed the next cabin to ours when we were at the highest point.

All the lights in the distant.

Back to crafts. It was my colleague, Eunice's last day on the eve of Christmas, I sewed up this felt cross for her.

Not enough time to tat up much Christmas gifts this year and only managed these. But there were lots of angels this Christmas -

Tatted angels

and a lot of wire angels

Only managed to tat up a few of these holly leaves:

I love the colours of the Flora threads used to tat up this name bookmark

(Teri Dusenbury's alphabets):

And more earrings and hairclips

Oh, last Sat, my girl and I went to Junior De Artist's Hero Art 2010 Debut Preview Party - Make and Take sessions. We spent an afternoon there and had a great time doing these cards, and of course, shopping for the new stamps!

Last but not least, a MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!
