These ATCs are from the Cathedral Series and are acrylics on matboard. There is a horizontal gold interference color stripe running across the center of the card. The gold color is transparent and does not scan well. It signifies gold gilding on all those statues of saints and throughout Catholic churches.

NEW HOUSE SHAPED ATC's

I'm taking part in a swap on Yahoo Group "ATCS for All". This is a swap where people create a house shaped ATC and fill it with whatever strikes their fancy. I have created 3 house shaped ATC's. My first ATC houses. I fist cut out the shapes and then gave the cards a background cover. I chose blue because it is the most un-house color. I was contemplating fire engine red color but that seemed too wild to me. Then I put some collage pieces on the cards and gave it several uneven sporadically placed coats of acrylic color. Some thick, I was thinking about stucco; some thin washes as in paint on a house that is at least 100 years old. And voila, house shaped ATC's are here.


The first ATC has some sad clowns on it. The idea occured to me when I was reading about the bad housing market and foreclosures. People who overextended themselves will probably lose their houses unless they do something drastic hence the sad faces of otherwise happy people.

The second card has big window on it, or is it a glass door? In any case it's the way to get inside the house. I put a big cat in the house and some goodies and spices for the people who live there. Goodies so they don't go hungry and spices so the house smells nice. The cat is huge because cats usually rule the house and do pretty much what they want.


The third house is a picture of an old house, maybe 200 years old. To me it looked like one of those houses that should be in Gotham City so I titled this ATC Goth House. The house itself is now probably an apartment house because no single homeowner today can afford an upkeep for such a house unless, of course, that person is a corrupted government official of some obscure Third World country government who can afford such houses because their people pat for them although they cannot afford their own houses. Sort of like government pensions here; people are forced to pay lavish pensions for government workers yet these selfsame people cannot afford to pay their own pensions. This house personifies that kind of situation to me.
