i'm in an atc frame of mind

i'm so happy i finally got a lovely assortment of some of the artist trading cards i've collected over the years up on the wall in my studio. these white wood atc trays from 7 gypsies have been increasingly hard to find, but i was able to buy a few here locally and a few more online.

these cards represent the work of so many talented people all around the world - with so many different artistic styles and mediums - it inspires me to no end. i have another couple batches of cards beyond these, some are sitting in an album and some hang on the wall behind my desk at work.

all these cards also remind me that i have made as many as i have collected (atcs are always swapped) - phew!
