I absolutely LOVE to make ATC's (altered trading cards). My problem is - when I sign up to participate in an ATC swap - I can't stop at just one. I end up making a whole collection! Such was the case when I participated in the Paris ATC swap sponsored by Creative Souls last month. I ended up trading the last card shown below to my swap partner in Germany. I still have the others. :)
Yes! I DO accept wholesale and custom orders from retail outlets, gift shops, church groups and more! Please contact me at craftymule@yahoo.com for more information.
I am an mixed media art fanatic and love creating original handmade designs. I enjoy making dolls, quilts and jewelry, among other things. My jewelry designs have taken on a life of their own for the past several years. Due to customer demand, much of my time is spent designing and creating new little pieces of wearable art, most of which is Catholic (faith-based) in design.
My creations have been published in several quality publications, including Polymer Cafe, Belle Armoire Jewelry and Haute Handbags, among others. I have also been featured as a guest artist in several books. I am an award-winning jewelry artist; I was selected as Prilosec OTC's Eco-Chic Jewelry artist in 2011. My designs are currently being sold in boutiques and retail outlets across the United States. This includes the Jell-O Museum gift shop in New York. I also designed and made the jewelry for St. Damien of Molokai's Canonization celebrations in Hawaii (one of my proudest achievements.)
