Comment: Thanks for this wonderful ATC! I will put it on my inspiration wall! There are swaps that specialize in a yearly word. I love the card too! Nature rules! Especially here in Alaska! Stay safe and healthy! Hugs from Alaska, Sherry
Response: For about 8-10 years I have chosen a word to live by all year. It has been a really beneficial and growing experience. So when I read you have a word this year, I knew I HAD to include that in the ATC for you. And you are right - nature rules!!!!

Comment: Marie, thank you for your very cool exploding purple flower which really pops from the black background. Looks like science fiction! You wrote that you are not going away but unfortunately... actually I am 😂. Check my profile for info. I have really enjoyed receiving your art and reading your wonderful comments. Thank you so much! If you don't mind, I might send you something in the future if I make something really cool because I know you would appreciate it. All the best!
Response: Joanne - thanks for the wonderful comments about my alcohol ink flower. They are so much fun to do because you never know exactly what you will get as a result. You are gonna be missed!!! I am sad that I won't be surprised when I get the mail and then open it and see what new fun thing you created. I hope we can definitely stay in touch - somehow.

Response: You are right - it was returned for postage and it aggravated me until I realized it was my bad - because I forgot to put an international stamp on it. It just seems like Canada is our neighbor - not international. Hahaha! So I am glad you enjoyed the ATC - it was fun to do.

Comment: You art is a treasure!! I love this ATC- Please let me know if you would ever be interested in a private swap! :)
Response: Awwwwww thank you!!! To be completely transparent - I almost kept this ATC because I loved the blue and green combination for the heart, as it's not the usual red heart design. But now I am so happy I sent it to you - it was meant for you :-) It's always an honor when someone would like to do private swaps! What kind of artwork do you do on ATCs? I wish we could attach photos somehow on Swapbot. Send me a message :-)

Comment: Marie- wow, another wonderful scratchboard drawing!! Is it a raccoon? My daughter loves raccoons. I will show it to her tomorrow. The mini-drawing of bare tree by moonlight is also cool. Thank you so much. Happy spring!
Response: Yup the scratchboard is of a raccoon. Definitely your daughter will know - hehe. BUT I think I forgot to put the "R" on the ATC - darn it. I realized it right after I put it in the slotted mailbox and I couldn't get it back out. So sorry! Feel free to scratch in an "R". Glad you loved the notecard and envelope :-)

Comment: Love this fish. I'm honored to get your first. And I'm going to have to try the alcohol ink...I love the way it looks. Thank you.
Response: Every time I looked at it, it made me giggle. So glad you liked it enough to be encouraged to try alcohol ink. It is great fun. And I especially like the drama you can get using black paper. Of course you have to put down white ink first and then add the color after that. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions.

Comment: Thank you for the unique watercolor ATC. Nice name you gave to to them.
Response: Thank you for the nice comments. I have just started to learn to "see" something in my watercolor washes, and then add a small amount to make the vision come to life. For several years, I just wasn't able to "see" things. Suddenly it is finally happening for me. :-)

Response: So happy you thought so much of my artwork. It was a joy to make for you. I have never added a bee with the windblown flowers, but I feel like I will be doing it more often. All the ATCs I do are hand drawn/hand painted and if you do that too, I would definitely be interested in doing private swaps. I haven't been on swap-bot that long, so I don't know how to set one up. Sooooo ... I will let you do it - ha!

I went online to see how others might have accomplished making one, but found nothing, so I just made up how to make one. I guess I am on to something - hehe

Comment: I love your artwork in general & this piece is no exception. I’ve always wondered about Gelatos, but never took the plunge. May have to give them a try after seeing yours. Thanks so much!
Response: Awwwwww - you are so kind! I had never even heard of Gelatos before, until an artist sent me an ATC and had used them a bit. So I just decided they sounded intriguing and I ordered some. Figuring out what to use them on and how to use them was an interesting challenge - but gave me a chance to experiment and play. I highly recommend you try them out. :-)

Comment: Marie, thank you for your Michigan-looking mitten (how do you spell mitton? mitten? LOL). I appreciate you remaking it last minute but usually I am not rigid about receiving items in a absolute compliance with swap requirements as long as the partner makes a good effort, so next time if your partner is me, don't worry about remaking it. Love the abstract magical look - reminds me of the movie Brave and Merida. I always enjoy your drawing on the envelope too. Happy swapping!
Response: Since you and I seem to be building a nice relationship, I kind of figured you would have that attitude about me sending the first ATC I made - without the cut out shape. Thanks for the friendship :-) I have never seen that movie or even heard of it. I might have to check it out. Update: I checked it out and duh - I am aware of that animated movie. hehe

Response: I am very happy you liked the mushroom. It was almost magical the way the gelatos blended. I really did NOT expect that. Almost looks like it was painted with oil paint. This is a heads up that there will be another ATC swap being sent your way soon for the Paint Chip ATC. I am using NeoColor II on the paint chip. They are very similar to the Gelatos. Soooo once again you will be my "guinea pig" on that too. hehe. At least it doesn't seem like you aren't offended by that. :-)

Comment: Marie, oh my goodness! This is an amazing ATC! I absolutely love it :-) The flower, direction, color and symbolism that you fit into this amazing little rabbit is so fun and mind blowing! Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day, Heather
Response: Heather - it was a kind of puzzle getting every symbolism in that rabbit, and have the colors balance too. But it was a fun puzzle. So glad you were amazed by it. I kind of amazed myself to - hahaha! Never did anything like this before.

Comment: Oh my gosh! I adore that Fantabulous bird ATC 💜 I have never seen anything done by the scratch method. Very striking! I also love the notecard and envelope with their purple planets ... Thank you so much for taking the time to create such a thoughtful ATC and swap. Happy New Year.
Response: Yay! I am soooo happy you love the ATC and I was able to open up a new world of art style to you. I love scratchboard because for me it's so similar to drawing with a pencil, just have to think backwards sometimes - lights and darks. Can get my mind twisted sometimes - ha!

Comment: Thank you for the panda ATC and pretty hand-drawn note card. Did you draw it? I couldn't tell it so good and professional that it looks as if it is printed 😂
Response: I did hand draw both the Panda and the notecard. Such a compliment to think it was printed. Funny story - a couple days ago I showed one of my daughters the notecards I had just made and she immediately said "You drew these?! They look printed!" So you and here made my day. I have started making them using Gelatos that I had recently gotten and started experimenting with. I love the soft creaminess of them and the way they blend together.

Comment: I love the watercolor backgrounds you created ! What type did you use? I like your doodles as well. Was the paper you wrote the info on the note card? Making sure.
Response: So glad you were happy with them. I had fun experimenting and did a bunch of washes on two different papers and different combination of colors. It's a good thing I wrote down what I did - I would NEVER remember. Yours was done on a paper that a friend gave me and we don't know the brand of it - wish we did - so I could share the name of it. It's sooooo great though. I used it for the notecard I made for you too (that I wrote the note for you) and I used Gelatos on that notecard - as just an extra piece of art for you. The watercolors I used are Daniel Smith: Jadeite, Mayan, Cascade, Quin Gold along with granulation fluid. And also Moss Green Brusho. Message me if you want more info :-)

Response: You are so kind with your words. "Treasure" - that's pretty special to know you feel this way :-) "Windblown" - yes because I use air to move the alcohol ink - mostly from a large bulb or a wireless airbrush. Straws work too in certain circumstances. Also, because they look like the wind is blowing them. I will look forward to receiving an ATC from you when the algorithm gods allow it - ha! :-)

Comment: This ATC is truly a work of art. I love the forest floor background & pieces of nature lying on it. Your note card & envelope are gorgeous, too. Thank you so much!
Response: It's so nice when someone says good things about your work - thank you so much! It was fun doing negative painting to create the fall items on the forest floor. It always amazes me how little it takes to makes something appear.

Comment: Wow!! Your watercolor drawing is amazing realistic. I am so impressed! This is definitely one ATC I will keep in my treasures box. Also, thank you for the hand-drawn G clef. I admire your drawing talent. I will try your potato chips recipe - thanks! 😉
Response: Awwww - I am in your treasure box - yay!! It was fun drawing the extra notecard for you, since you seem to love music so much. And the Sonata No.3 on the envelope :-) Funny side note - the person I received an ATC from - her favorite food also was potato!!! What are the chances of that. Ha!

Comment: Thank you for the lovely watercolor flower ATC. You did an awesome job & I love it!! Grayson loved the jokes & his cat ATC too. He was so happy to receive it. Thanks for a great swap & for thinking of Grayson. It really made his day!!
Response: So glad you and Grayson loved your ATCs. The flower was actually created with alcohol ink, not watercolor. Alcohol ink is such a fun product to use, as it does some unexpected things and can get very dynamic.

Comment: Oh, I love EVERYTHING about this! The zigzags on the envelope tying it in to the zigzags of the zebra fur~ And the purples and shine that you used on your note are just wonderful 💜 You put such incredible thought into this, and your art is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for a wonderful swap!
Response: So so happy you liked it as much as I liked doing it. Thanks you for sure a marvelous review!! This was one of the funnest ATCs I did - probably because I love painting and drawing animals and I got to draw fur - ha!

Comment: Beautiful ATC! Thank you so much. I have never used alcohol inks before. I will have to watch a couple Youtube videos on it.
Response: Alcohol Inks are so much fun!!! I watched a bunch of videos before I tried them, and then I got addicted to them. Such a completely different medium.

Comment: How is it possible I was so lucky to get two ATC from you. I have no idea which one I love more. What a horrible problem to have.
Response: I know, right?! Crazy that I got to send you two ATCs for two different swaps at the same time. I am thrilled that you love them both so much.

Comment: Hi Marie, thanks so much for this beautiful ATC and also the purple and pink notecard Take care
Response: The alcohol inks can give a brilliant color - just like Fall can be. The notecards I recently started making to send with the ATCs. I call them my "Whimsical Watercolor" style. Playful.

Comment: Wow, just WOW! Thank you so much for this beautiful piece of art! I also love that you painted me some lace. That was super thoughtful <3
Response: Thanks for such a great comment. And I wanted to make the lace more yellow, as I know you like yellow, but I was afraid it wouldn't show up on the white paper very well. I am happy you enjoyed both pieces of art :-)

Comment: Wow, wow, wow! I'm always impressed by painted works since it's a medium I haven't gained confidence in. Both the ATCs are beautiful and I'm thrilled to have them. I love your extra attention to decorating the envelopes and the bonus painted trees. Lovely!
Response: It pleases me to know how much you liked the artwork. I absolutely love finding extra ways to add more artwork to the ATC "package/envelope". Just that much more opportunity to create freely.

Comment: Marie!! WOW!! I am seriously speechless after opening this swap from you!! :) I LOVE everything!! The ATC is astonishing and I am so grateful to be able to add your art into my collection!! The card that you sent everything in is gorgeous!! That is so incredible that you did the art on it. WOW! I truly look up to you after seeing your creativity, talent, and artistic ability. I also LOVE the feathers that you sent as well! I truly can't even put into words how much I love everything about this swap you sent me. I wish I could give you so many more hearts!! It is always awesome to meet a fellow bird lover<3 I am going to cherish and treasure everything forever!! I really am so grateful and appreciative of everything:) Thank you so so much for everything<3
Response: Awwwww - I am grateful and humbled by your wonderful comments. I think when two people have a love for the same thing - birds, in this instance - the appreciate for the art increases expotentially. It was so much fun painting the card for you. Maybe someday I will be so lucky as to get one of your cards created for me :-)

Comment: I received a beautiful ATC today. I love the black yupo paper. It really makes the flower you painted stand out. Thank you. I appreciate your concern as well and was able to get most of the bend out no worries. Happy Swapping.
Response: Oh good! I am learning more from receiving ATCs from other artists, how I can make what I send even better. Like I am now inserting hand painted notecards too.
