“Sometimes” – Artist Trading Coins

Artist Trading Coins by Florence Langley

Hi everyone,

I hope you are all well and busy creating and crafting to your hearts content.  Thank you for your lovely comments and kind words on my last posts.

I finally moved into my new craft cave. I still have a lot of work to do in it ie, shelving and so forth but I decided just to dive in there, make a mess and sort it all out another day. Life is too short.

So, to kick off crafting in my new space I made a set of ATC coins that I am swapping with a friend on FB. I am hoping she has received them.

I do love making these little coins. They are so much fun.

All of these coins are 2.5″ diameter.

They have all been made in the same way.

I painted the backgrounds and attached the ladies.  I would have liked to use magazines pictures but I haven’t got any.  I need to ask around to see if anyone is throwing any out.

I do like to paint over the images just to change their hair styles, add some colour to the cheeks and other details.

The backgrounds did turn out a little bit busy and the coin base colours I initially picked for each lady changed but I don’t care! ha ha

Thank you for you looking.

    These are darling, Flo. Your use of color is amazing. Loving the smoking hot eye shadows! I am laughing about your not having any magazines. So, I buy any musty-smelling old mag I find in a junk shop, even ones what are literally crumbling at my touch (love the old brown color in my collage work). Wish we were neighbors, I’d give you a lifetime pass to my special ‘vintage’ mag drawer!

      Hi Carol. LOL! I never buy magazines. I do have a look around charity shops. Yes, I wished I leaved near you and I could raid your stash. I hope everything is OK. I have been missing in action and I saw on your blog about Florence. So pleased that you are all safe. I will get back into a better blogging routine soon…I hope!
      Hugs Flo x

    Oooh, these ATC coins are great Flo!!! And what a very interesting way of doing them.
    It’s strange maybe ha ha, but I didn’t know Mischief Circus and their digis (or I forgot, lossing my head a bit at the moment!) I’ve just have a look thanks to your link, it seems that there are wonderful collections in the shop! Will take time to go further into the various items. I need to use more images and digis, to go out my comfort zone!
    Sending hugs, and continuing my walk even without tea and cakes 🙂 xxx
