Mel's Art & ATCs' photostream
|
I'm newly into my 40's and live in the midwest. I have a wonderful family, great friends, and a beautiful husband! I was introduced to ATCs in 2006 and have been addicted ever since. I love everything about them - the creating, the trading, the new friends I've made because of them - they have enriched my life!

"Mel is one of my favorite neat people here on Flickr. We have done many trades of our ATCs and every time, I am surprised and pleased by her quality of work and also all the little extras she includes with our trades. She always has something nice to say about others' art and even though she may live in a chilly place, she definitely has a warm heart!"

"Mel is a very talented collage artist. I have had the pleasure to trade ATCs with her once. The photo of the atc she sent to me was wonderful, but to actually hold it and see it up close amazed me. Her attention to detail and the quality of her work is outstanding. I am so happy to have met here her on Flickr!"

"Mel is an ATC Queen! She has so many original ideas! I don't comment on many but I go to another land when I view them all! She is a blessed person to make so many fabulous ATC's. I can almost see her relaxing when she makes them. As if she herself has left us all behind to play in her world! Wonderful imagination!"

"I think Mel's ATCs are great, and Mel is too! I received some coffee themed cards from Mel in one of my very first on-line trades. The minute I opened the package I felt like I'd met a kindred soul. I appreciate her support so much...and while we do have a mutual admiration society, if you check her photo stream you'll see a talented and insightful artist at work.
I hope someday to meet Mel and trade face-to-face. I bet I'll like her just as much in person (if not more!) Here's to another creative caffiene fanatic!"8th March, 2007
