Bryony House ATC...


This is the third ATC I have made to interpret the houses of The Court of Night Blooming Flowers from the Kushiel's Legacy novels by Jacqueline Carey. My group on Swap-bot, The Sangoire Cloak, host swaps where we create ATC's like these and many other crafts for swapping with each other. This is my interpretation for Bryony House, whose main focus is cupidity and wagering. I was really happy with the way it turned out! If you haven't read these delightful and intriguing novels yet, I highly recommend them. Have a lovely day!

Marie Antoinette ATC's...



I love anything French and I love Marie Antoinette. So, when an ATC swap of her was hosted on Swap-bot I couldn't resist joining! Here are the two ATC's I made for my partner, I do so hope they enjoy them!

The ATC with the oval picture, I wanted it to feel like a piece of confection, like a sweet pink bon-bon! All in chocolate and pink colours for the most part and a little gilding on the edges of the picture, some lace and few more accents, I thought it was tempting!


The other ATC is a hectic ransack of Marie's boudoir! Everything thrown everywhere trying to find that perfect accessory for tonight's fete. I love layering on my ATC's, I think it gives them depth and it makes it fun to view, each time hoping to see something new. I welcome comments and critiques so please feel free to do so!
