Off to the doctor soon.  My GP is retiring so I had him recommend another doctor.  We meet today.  Then I have to grocery shop for the cabin as I am returning this afternoon until Sunday afternoon.  It is raining and so it will be perfect for four days of art.

 Just a couple more of the ATCs for the last quarter of the year. :-)

For these ATCs we were tasked to create rubbings.  I first could see myself going to a cemetery and rubbing tombstones. Then I got the idea of rubbing texture plates.  These were really successful.  When I was in Manzanita I was telling the Creative Gents about the ATC project,  it was suggested that I rub stencils.  I had some with words which I think might be Seth Apter stencils and I was in heaven with all my rubbings.  My next step was to see how they would go together as an ATC.  When I was done I liked them but was thinking perhaps they needed a focal point.  However, I also thought they stand alone and that is what you see.

 These are the last of the Dali ATCs.  Totally fun to do a series like this and make small adjustments on each.

My printer must have been running out of ink because when Dali printed it printed lines.  I liked the happy accident so I went with it in the collage.

 The task for my international ATC group was to take a favorite artist and create the 3.5 x 2.5 inch card to honor that artist.  I chose Dali.  Over the next few days I will post the cards that I made.  Here are the first two.

Manzanita 2021 - 04

This piece was so fun to create.  I love the contrast between the pigs and the woman.  For me, it is odd that she would be anywhere near swine.  One could spend a great deal of time coming up with a narrative or several narratives for why this woman is anywhere near a farm.
