More "Eyes" Artist Trading Cards from the last trade. Always fun to make these pieces that push one's creativity. Again, grounds from acrylic washes on watercolor paper. Eyes from old magazines. Ideas from putting the two together. 

Artist Trading Cards measure 2.5 x 3.5 inches. 

Make some yourself! Have fun of course. 

Artist Trading Cards: The Eyes Have It

A few months ago (or was it a year or so?) I collected some photos of faces with a variety of expressions from some old magazines given me by a friend. I thought of them when “Eyes” came up as the ATC topic. Luckily I found the folder and in a couple of hours made eighteen cards. I collaged them onto grounds made from old paintings adding a few lines. I was pleased. The cards traded quickly.

Sometimes I wish I could show the pieces I traded for, but perhaps they are in someone else’s blog. I do keep them in books sorted by artists, collections that serve as inspiration for my art. They are my own art galleries to visit when the weather is bad.
