I am such a geek!
Two weeks ago, I was taking a class at my local art center called “Make a Deck.” It was taught by my elementary school art teacher, Miss N (that’s what she asked us to call her in grade school, as her last name is really much longer than that.) It was a fun class, and I felt like I learned a lot about technique. However, my creativity was stifled. I think that I work much better when I have a direction to go in, or at least some form of structure. In this class, we just learned some techniques in the first hour of the class, then she said, “Okay! Go make some ATCs!” I just sat there. For hours and hours, I sat there. The people around me were all a-twitter with activity, and I couldn’t come up with a decent ATC to save my life. Oh well.
But I was already signed up for the Embrace Your Inner Nerd/Geek ATC swap on swap-bot, so when the class was over, I had to get busy. This was what I sent out on Monday night:
My first official ATC. I’m pretty pleased with how it came out, and I can’t wait to receive the others so that I can see what maybe I should have done differently. Now I’ve signed up for the Anime Chibi ATC swap. Why do I do this to myself? I had to look up what chibi was!
