Some weeks ago I was still completely ignorant, but not anymore... I have done my first Artist Trading Card swap! The sweet Marianne of Applehead informed me about it and if I had just a couple more hours in a day, I would be making ATC's everyday. It's such fun to work on a fixed small format. And I can just imagine how fun it is to have a big big collection of cards from all over the world. Thanks Marianne, I love them. I mean - birds, boots, graph paper and polka dots, what more can I say? 

Some time ago I orderde a zine and stamps from two of my favorite bloggers, Gracia and Louise. With the gorgeous little goodies came a beautiful collage card. I cut off the text on the card (sorry girls!) and now I have a new little gem in my work space.

Dear Blogger friends --

I have to say "Au revoir" for now. Treats will be in Paris for the weekend. I will be back on Monday - with a full camera and an empty wallet.

I already mentioned the book "Vitamin D. New perspectives in drawing" a couple of days ago in my journal. It's such a beautiful designed book that and the content is very inspiring. Drawing is back in art and this book describes the work of 190 artist that contributed to the renewal of importance of drawing in art.
