Animal art - part 2

First time swapper Christie says this little guy emerged from some altered junk mail

Here's an ATC from Christina:

Two funky giraffes from Currie:

Ellen's animals are collaged from torn papers

Frances rested her owls on a bed of torn tissue paper, and her crab card evolved from an art date with her granddaughter.

Joyce  sent mixed media dogs and donkeys.

Marsie drew this fanciful giraffe.

Ria sent these three lovely hand drawn ATCs.

A bird in the round from Trula:

Carroll created this fabulous mythical creature, whose feathers and feet move!

(stay tuned for our articulated paper doll swap coming soon!)

Amongst the tiny baubles are magnet poetry, repeating the words "You will" and "I do"

Perhaps this will inspire you to fill in the details of this mysterious romance!
