August Swaps

I have had a fabulous busy creative month making art swaps

PRAYER FLAGS

I am not normally one to dabble in fabric arts but I do admire them and couldn't resist joining in with this lovely swap over at Milliande's Art Community for Women

Each participant made 5 prayer flags and made them with good intentions for our anonymous receivers and it was not until the end of our time that the list was posted and we got our 5 names to send out our cards.

I have really enjoyed this process and am making some more to hang with the 5 I will be receiving, and the gorgeous sunny one I have already received from my lovely Mum who has taken to art swapping with great enthusiasm.

Almost my whole family is joining in the art swap fun,

we are getting the homeschool kids over at

the Rockpool Homeschool Forum

to start swapping winter themed ATCs and my Mr8

received these gorgeous cards from a fellow

8 y.o. home schooled boy.

snowmen must be symbolic of winter for little boys in Australia

because my little one did a snowman as well

and he has never even seen snow.

He also did the gorgeous tree at the top of the post.

I was doing Tree ATCs as well and made the embossed one above

and the wired ones below for a Tree themed swap

at Milliandes

and I have already received this one from my

Mum.

It is such a treat having Mum start arting,

we now have a common interest and that is really special

and birthday and solstice presents just got a whole lot easier.
