I partially made up for my slackerly ways last night; I produced three new ATCs for my Thirty Things in Thirty-One Days. Unfortunately, I only really enjoyed making one of these cards. I’m getting the sense as this project (slowly) moves along, that it might be time to move onto other things. I’ve got a list of things that I like, off of which I’m working this month, but nothing really grabs me. Is it the media or the subjects? Maybe my time making ATCs and chunky book pages is coming to a close? Maybe I need a skills update? Maybe I’m depressed? I know that I’m still ashamed of my degree and wish that I had never earned a doctorate. Friggin’ kool-aid. I really don’t know what’s wrong and I really don’t want to figure it out, in case I don’t like the answer.
Let’s move onto the ATCs now since that’s why most of you are here.

Things 3 through 5 are, in order: monsters in disguise (Too much Sendak?), seaweed, and sequins.
The materials used for these cards include ephemera, acrylics, gouache, ink, sequins, and embroidery floss.
my life would not be the same if you stopped making ATCS. Take a class Zhenia an art class find one online, stretch it a bit. I am sure you are just resting a while. Why are you ashamed of your degree?
Girl you are awesome. don’t be so hard on yourself.

I always balk at structure in my art world. Commiting to create 30 things in 31 days would make me bristle. I like the free flow of ideas approach. Maybe try to do something old and has been or new and outside your comfort zone. This, too, is passing.
