The best part of my summer was my trip to Hood River Oregon to meet up with some folks from my favorite mail art trading site: ATCsforall.com. The event was called the Oregon Live Gathering and it was a regional meet-up for members from Oregon and Washington to get together, do some live trading, and trade tips and techniques. I'm the one in the baseball hat.
There were about 28 of us in all. It was fun to meet artists I'd traded with for a couple of years and I enjoyed watching people work, whether it was drawing, painting, collage, or mixed media.
While I was there, I made this card. It's by far the best cat drawing I've done. I traded it at the event, but at least I have this picture. I think it might make a good design for my Zazzle shop.
Now that fall is here I have swap cards to make, a sketchbook to fill for the 2012 Sketchbook Project, a bit of travle and some Christmas gifts to make. Winter will be over before I know it too.
