The joy of ATC's






Artist trading cards....can I say more....they are just so wonderful... You can make them, trade them, collect them, sell them, gift them, love them, hate them and absolutely adore them. Here are some I just made, the other ones are in the old computer :) since I must have made hundreds by now. They are also wonderfully fast to make and they always measure 3,5"x2,5"..... I also stick them in a small acid free plastic pocket so they will stay with you forever.
We are all destined for greatness is covered in wax, the whole ATC and it gives it a wonderful finish. I used Mod Podge on the other two ( who can live without Mod Podge?)

Where is all the art


It is on my old PC that overheated and is no longer with me ;( It will take a few days to get this new laptop to do what I want it to do and to "transfer" all the art and pictures.
This is my orchid....it lives in my kitchen window....and has been in full bloom since Christmas...see the brand new little bud? That one will bloom when my Family come to visit from Sweden :)

Welcome to My Art Gallery

Caf'e
Welcome to My Art Gallery and blog. I am Jeanette Calstrom a Mixed Media Collage Artist living in Palo Alto, California. Art is my passion.

I wanted to find a way to show some of my art and to add some thoughts to a blog and think this is a good way to do so :). Why not share some fun as well with the best websites, coolest Art Shows and some adorable children's art.
