Alice & Rainbows

I’ve been waiting till I can post the photos of my latest ATC (Artist Trading Card) Swap (I like to wait till the hostess of the swap posts photos of all the participants’ cards on the relevant site 😀 )

This time around, I did two swaps – the first one was “Alice in Wonderland”, the other was “Rainbows”.

“Alice” & “The White Rabbit”
I wanted to update the characters a little bit, and try to depict something closer to what was in my head… I also didn’t want to mimic either the original illustrations, or the Disney version. I’m happy with how they turned out, but they still never look like what I see in my head…

“Eat Me, Drink Me” & “The Caterpillar”

“The Duchess” & “The Mad Hatter”

“Cheshire Cat” & “The Queen Of Hearts”

I wanted a fairly monochrome effect (black, white and sepia, with touches of gold ink)

The rainbow cards are simple – just quotes in rainbows 😀

So, that’s this swap 😀 I enjoy working out how to tackle each theme, and I’ve been able to use many different methods to achieve the end results…. now – if only I could work out how to finish them before the very last minute!

I LOVE your A in W cards!!! Very unique, and a lovely twist!
Which isn’t to say that I don’t like your Rainbow cards, either ~ far from it!! Love your quotes!
Big Hugs ~

Thank you! 😀 *blushes*
I’m SO glad to have stumbled across the forum all that time ago, and found a place to be challenged and inspired (which happens when I see your wonderful work 😀 )

[…] rainbows. They’re the reward after rain, and they carry a promise.You can sing about them, make art about them, even bake them…and in life’s greyest moments they turn up unexpectedly, to shine a bit […]
