This week's theme is Circles and you decide how to interpret the theme.

Hi Everyone- I just wanted to check in so no one forgets me!! I am adding this for your viewing pleasures, BUT, it isn't new. I am down and OUT with the flu, so no new art for me. So don't count it for the drawing. HUGS- Lee

My scanner cut off part of the image. All the circles are full circles. The dog is cut out of a magazine and I added metallic blue acrylic paint in spots for fun. It's just something silly I did having to do with circles. It is on a paper bag. I used paints,paper,glue,markers,oil crayon, and glitter deco pauge glue to cover the design.

I like your design, Lee. Hope you are feeling better soon. I was out with the flu earlier this week. Ick!

[Sarah Upton]

lee, feel better!

cassie, that's soooooo cute and fun!

Well here is my entry. Not my usual style although I have done backgrounds using this sort of collage technique with ripped paper before.

First of all a sketch - does anybody ever sketch work before starting it? As a painter, it is second nature to me and is actually one of the reasons why I moved so easily into atc/aceo before taking up mixed media. Anyway this is how I saw the idea

And now for the actual ATC. Quite a difference but that is down to limitations with materials and physical size of the punch I used....

I was going to title it, " Living and breathing fishermen" but I am not happy with the outcome , however being time constrained it will have to stay as my entry. Still, you can't win them all!

Ok. I think I've just made it! I call this 'Circles on the Line'

Here's mine, from a wheel of fortune with the song: Here we go round in circles, like a bird up in the sky .... the print is a credit card statement.

Well, rats, it won't download. So, as usual for me-haha, I'll post it Tuesday from work on the blog, just because I so enjoyed doing it. And John, I did use a sketch for this one, which is new for me, but it really helped a lot. Who knows, I may redo it later on with more time. This one is wet was more like a trial run, but FUN. And I'm not set up right yet, crafting with the paper in your lap is not easy, heheheh.

Just a little working of the original idea as a digital image, used a scan of the first atc as source: added a little seaweed and resized the bubbles and gave them a similar colour to give them a little coherence. Thanks to Nancy Torsen for the some of the suggestions

A cleaner look....I like it.

Your entries are wonderful.
Mine is a Poem-ollage and the circle is a teabag fold I invented.
I wrote the poem from words pulled randomly from a paperbag of cut up words.
Good Luck everyone.

Lydia:
This is so bright and fun looking.
