Description
In support of *youngmoons new ATC contest, I thought I'd dig out a few pictures of the hundreds of ATC's I've made and inflicted on people over the years. I think these were all made in 2008. When my little boy came into the world, my craft room was no more, it became his bedroom, so no more messy making for me
I've not made one for years now, but I loved it! If you've not seen the contest yet, it's really fun, I'm looking forward to it [link]
I won't waffle on about these, but there's a bit of everything in there, even some very special drawings
That was about the limit of my ability to draw in pencil a few years back 
For anyone who doesn't know an ATC is an Artist's Trading Card and they measure 2.5"x3.5"

They are all amazing, I'd be in big trouble if I wanted to choose one
I'm sorry you lost your craft room, but I think in two years you can join your son in his room and you can do some mess together

Very nice collection, Paula. I'm betting these cramp your hand and strain your eyes more than stippling?

Nice collection!
Some of the works are embossed (not sure if that's the correct word for it), anyway, what are they made of?
Looks like clay or someting like that.

Thank you
Some are debossed onto copper sheet metal and then aged a bit with sandpaper and ink.
There are some where I've made little clay bits and they're stuck onto the cards too. Just airdry clay and then I've painted them.
Is that the one's you meant?

I don't think I'll participate. Too many things to do...

Yup, unfortunately I am busy as hell with work; experiments have worked as of lately and that means we have to work more, and I come home very tired with little energy to draw... but I want to participate of the next draw-along!

Oh I was about to comment on your journal then saw your note 
I hope you can join the draw along, I'm looking forward to this next one

Uh, it's more like we need to do more experiments to further explore what we are seeing. Then comes the write up part. But at nights I still get to draw.
That's the thing, I only get to draw at night, from like 10pm till 1am.
