ATCDivas and Rest

This month's theme for the ATCDivas Group was either a pig, cow or horse. For some reason, I seem to gravitate towards pigs; I'm not sure what that says about me, if anything. I have a couple of pig rubber stamps, one of them I have used many times. For this, though I went hunting through vintage illustrations for pigs.

I chose a strong graphic background, so I wanted my pig to stand out. The background is from the Idea-ology collection, the pig is a vintage image from a children's book altered with Spica and Micron pens. He was attached with 3D dots, as was the vintage Bingo gamepiece. The letters are typewriter keys stickers. I also used distress inks and gold leaf pen around the outside of the ATC. Six of these little babies went out today!

Well, after several days of having increased energy, my body has made it clear that I am to rest and that's it - no discussion. So, I am pleased with the amount of art things I created this week, and happy that I had several good days in a row. Trying now to keep my attitude positive and believe that more good days will be part of my future. That's my prayer, anyway!
