Altered Playing Cards

 I haven't participated in Swap-bot for quite awhile now.  This was for a swap from January. 

 

I really like how they turned out.  I was participating in a multi-swap series going through a whole deck of cards, but I kind of lost interest... The different sets of cards didn't all match of course because different people were making them. Also I was making mine with the thought that you could actually play a game with them, but I received ones where you definitely couldn't, too fragile, or too bumpily embellished. :-) All very cool but just not what I had been excited about.  Anyway, maybe in the future I'll make a whole deck for myself. Who knows?

I love that pinecone.

Altered Playing Cards Swap, 2s

I recently joined an Altered Playing Cards swap on Swap-bot.  There are a series of swaps, this first one was just for the 2s. They will be going all the way through to aces. I'm excited to get a whole deck of handmade art cards!

These are the 2s I'm sending out.  It was my first time doing this. I'm so excited to see what I get!

And the packaging...

I love these scientist stamps. The background colors are so beautiful!

I got in a slew of returned "orphans" recently. I'll be posting more of those soon.

By the way, if you have adopted a postcard from me and have not had a thank you back from me, please re-email me your address. My email account ate them for some reason.
Thanks!
