Who introduced you to art?
Mom, Dad, Grandma, sisters?
Teachers, friends, children, grandchildren?
Are you thankful people helped you understand the importance of art and cheered you on to play with it? Though you may not realize it’s good for you, try making a little piece of art and you’ll, literally, see what you think! Become a self-taught creative driver of your own beneficial artistic processes. Practice personal reflection just for the fun of transforming a blank space into a doodle or sketch.

Back side of ATC
My popular artistic designs—family tree ancestry and descendant charts—began as thumbnail sketches about the size of an Artist Trading Card before I developed the concepts to print full size.
The natural parchment style paper originally comes from trees which are milled, mixed by specific recipes and made into large sheets that are eventually run through a printing press. After the ink dries, the paper is trimmed to the size of the graphic art. I consciously take care not to waste, so, all parts of the large sheet are used for various projects.
Love notes, sincere gratitude, Bible books scrolls, handmade journals, as well as blank, number 10 and A-2 stationery come from a portion of the press sheet left-over from my family tree chart designs.
You’re welcome to try out my new Prompts for Creative Artist Trading Cards (ATC).
I’m excited to encourage you to experiment with a Swiss artist’s concept to
trade art, spreading worldwide since the
1990s. ATCs are 2.5x3.5 inches.
Retro Lettering
Santa once put scented markers in my stocking! As a child, I often hand lettered with markers and added a darker shadow on one side and bottom of the letters. On this ATC, I enjoyed the flat chiseled edge and fine point ends of this five-color set of pens.
