Catherine Mommsen: By the Sea ATC swap

-From Catherine in Virginia, 2 sets of by the Sea ATCs have arrived! So fun to see the swaps as they come in. I hope you are enjoying this too! Catherine made cyanotype ATCs (a slow-reacting, economical photographic printing process sensitive to light) for one of her sets, and beautifully stitched fabric ATCs for the other set. She also made an extra of each set for me. Thank you SO much Catherine! This is Catherine's 5th swap with me. ;O)

I am really impressed with the wonderful variety of all the ATCs so far! 

yours creatively, lenna 

The first Stitchie swap is HERE! Catherine Mommsen

Stitchie swap update: Many thanks to Catherine Mommsen from Virginia, USA! I'm so glad to have you all here, as I make my way back to hosting art swaps. I really enjoyed receiving Catherine's Stitchies as they are so beautiful & interesting. After opening her envelope I discovered that she created an extra stitchie for me to keep!! So kind of her, but please note this is not required! ❤

From Catherine in Arizona, today's mail brought her beautiful Artist Trading Cards. So glad they got here Catherine!! I've got one more day to receive, then I close the Swap & exchange them. :o)

 What lovely texture you've achieved on your ATCs, Catherine! 

Is it rubber stamp embossing?

#17.Catherine Mommsen: Little book swap

Oh my! What a lot of books ; ^ ) If you can stand me pacing myself to upload all of these gorgeous books, then we will be just fine. Please try not to worry about the beautiful quality of books that has come in so far if you are in the swap. Be yourself, take some time to create, do your own style -but do not let the high quality deter you. Let it encourage you to do your best. I find it amazing (in a good way!) what some of my beginning creative swap participants come up with. Without further ado, here are Catherine Mommsen's artistic and delicious little books! Catherine is from Virginia.

The book below (3 photos) is 1" x 1" 

amazing!

A book of hearts

Time Matters 

Sealed

Quite amazing! Catherine, your little artist's books are stunning.

The main page of Catherine's blog is here -she is a pen & ink artist. The link at the top of this post is to a page on her blog about other little books she has made. Catherine wrote to me saying - "this swap was a great motivator to get me thinking more about one of my passions, miniature books.  And such lovely entries from so many very talented artists." Here, Here!! Thank you all!
