Artist Cocktails ATCs

Cocktail Artist Trading Cards by Phillip Hoyle 2017

Finally I have something to post. It seems like it's been a long time. I have been working but am beginning to feel like some retired people I used to know who claimed to never have been busier in their lives. I didn't believe them and I certainly do not claim that for myself. My problem is that I have signed up for a writing class and want to get my money's worth. So I'm writing.

I've also been printing using the leaves I collected last fall. It's fun, but I find finishing a piece to my satisfaction is a continuing challenge. Hopefully I'll post something next week ... or the next. 

I'm not much of a drinker and so felt at a loss when the topic for last week's trade was cocktails or, as some people planned to follow, cock tails as in cock-a-do-del-do. I went with the drinks, well actually some of the stemware used to serve them. Design took over and I had a lot of fun. Hope you are having fun with your arts too.
