ALPHA-2i ...ATC swap

Here are your April ALPHA-2i ATCs

Have just received my pinky..
Got Barbara's ice cream, Maria's ivy and Nona's in clink (brilliant)
Thanks everyone. Great as always.

Mine arrived, lovely ones from Helen, Maria and Joy.

Mine have arrived, I got Di's Icing on the cake, Barbara's Ice cream cone & Steph's Ink & quill. Love how you've done the feather Steph.
Thanks ladies.

Yes Amullree, I agree, that feather was beautiful and cut so carefully.

Thanks girls - the feathers weren't difficult to do, but you do need to
do them carefully and slowly. I distressed them with tea after as they
looked much to white.

grrrr I have no patience for slow. Probably why I appreciate them

What ??? With all the lovely drawings you do ?
It didn't take that long. You just need to be careful as if you cut
too far you'll have a gap.

Ah Steph, but my drawing comes naturally and I enjoy the challenge of bridging the gap from hand to PC. Old fashioned sketching at the start to finishing with new technology for the end product. Then individually tarting them all up.
Good fun as I love these new gizmo things for my PC.
But the lambs on my YEAR May ones were really hard.
I will have to look at the Poem 'The Months' by Sara Coleridge, that I am illustrating to see what is needed for June.

well i think that feather is marvellous!!

That's why I kept one Maria, absolutely super. Like I said I just don't have enough patience to acheive the results of fine cutting by hand. Unless of course it happened to fit with an idea I was working on.
Then I would fiddle forever as Goaty well knows.

Nona - I feel very honoured that you kept one of mine. You don't normally tell
us which ones you do keep and it would be lovely to know.

I deliberately don't say as I think it would be unfair to everyone to say whose I favoured as I get 1st choice every time, but that's my perks for running it.

Well it might have been one of mine, as it doesn't look like anyone else got one LOL
Thank you all for mine, what a nice package I had waiting when I got back from the field trip. I have; Rachael's; In the beginning, clever thinking that, Steph's Ink & Quill, very pleased, it is so carefully made, and I just love the ink brand, and Sue's instrumental, my brain wasn't alert enough to figure that out today, but DS was very close and thought it was cool, so do I.
The family really enjoy looking at the ATC's when they come.

I thought that 'In The Beggining' was good thinking too Thrifty, well she is the Churches secretary and she has super design ability.
Up to date too. But you can't beat Adam & Eve. can you.

awww a lovely pinky full of craftiness has just arrived. I got Karelyns lovely ice cream invitation and Cynthias ink and Joys iris which is really super.
