Two in One!
Here is my entry for the A is for Appetizer swap on swap-bot:
I wanted more of a Texas theme than how it turned out. I was thinking big hair, yellow roses, cadillacs, lone stars, etc. Of course, I couldn’t find anything like that. So it became a western theme. I don’t particularly care for the blue paper, but it’s the best I could find at the time. Did I mention that I live in the middle of Kansas? We make do.
And this is my entry for the B is for Beverage swap:
I think I truly ran out of inspiration for this swap. I wanted to focus on the Southern aspect, so I was looking for paper with huge roses, peonies, magnolias, or whatever would evoke a hot, humid summer day in Georgia with women swooning and men fanning themselves with their hats. I couldn’t find it. So instead I focused on the Sweet and couldn’t come up with anything that pleased me. This was the best one I made. Better luck next time. The color on this image is off. It’s more lime green than yellow.
Really though, I’m about to give up on swap-bot altogether. Remember the blood, sweat, and tears that I poured out over that Geek ATC? Well, I was supposed to receive 3 in return, and I’ve only gotten 1. It makes me sad. Not for me, but for swap-bot in general.
AND, I finally dropped out of the Anime Chibi ATC swap. I just couldn’t hang. Drawing is too stressful for me. I did manage to get one done, and then I couldn’t bear the thought of having to do 2 more. Here she is…it’s Chibi Kat!
(Kat was quite pleased at my rendering of her. “She’s so cute!” she squealed when she saw it. I turned it into a worry doll for her.)
