Comment: Thanks so much for the really awesome envies! I love how each one was so unique! I want to use them immediately as I know they will be so cool for someone to get in the mail!! Your vogue image transfer on the outer envie turned out so great too. I just started Gelli printing and haven’t quite gotten that technique down, but it could be the cheap paints I’m using too. I also really loved the various rubber stamps you used-you have a nice assortment!

Comment: Thank you for the awesome raven ATC. I love it and I'm thrilled to have it in my collection! Thank you for all the vintage postage as well. Your mail art is so neat and I love how you used a TVA postage stamp on the envie. We do have a lot in common. I can't believe you had a Johnny Cash as well. Thank you for a wonderful swap. I hope we get to swap again in the future.

Comment: Thanks for another fabulous swap! As soon as I saw the ornaments I though it looked like skin. LOL I immediately went and watched the Demeng video and it is a cool technique. Can't wait to try it. Where do you buy your Kroma crackle? I love the starlight ornament too. Your layers are so delicious. And thank for the ephemera too. Can't have too much woodland stuff! Your 100 Days Project sounds wonderful. I never was much on writing a diary but last year would have been a great year to start. Esp. through artwork. And your project this year sounds like so much fun. I did a 9 ATC pocket letter on my favorite songs and it was really enjoyable. Would love to see your finished projects someday. Looking forward to a creative and crafty 2021. Let me know if you feel like swapping again. You always inspire me so! <3<3<3

They are far too special to put in a binder -- I am going to frame them and hang them on the art wall in my art room :) My favorite is "you are enough". The message is a perfect reminder, and I love the way the center woman has one eye accentuated. It is always such a thrill to see an envelope from you in my mailbox!

Comment: As I have come to expect your ornaments this year are spectacular! The polymer clay snowflake is beautiful. I never have done any clay work so I love receiving your perfect treasures. The paper ornaments you make are more my speed but I don't know where you get those lovely paper bases you alter. From local craft stores? I love the heart because you really need to look "into the depths" to see the black veining and detail. Very cool. But the round one is my favorite by far. Beautiful colors and textures and layers. Thanks again for swapping with me again this year. It is always an inspiration and a pleasure! <3<3<3

Response: I am so happy you like everything! The bases for my paper ornaments I do indeed buy at craft stores. Sometimes Amazon has them as well. The round one was made by gluing script-stamped tissue paper over the gesso'ed base, then adding a layer of rice paper that I decorated. Here's how - you scrape string gel through a stencil and let dry, then use watered down acrylic paint to add color. I love the effect! Thank you so much for a stellar rating, and for swapping with me again, my friend! :)

Love the shine/matte areas on the star and the textures you created. But the white floral circle is over the top gorgeous. These will definitely stay out in my studio all year round!

I love the round sunflower -- you achieved an amazing amount of texture detail with your stencil. And it arrived in perfect condition. The purple crackle light bulb is amazing with its depth of color and consistency of crackle texture. Both are up in my living room and will probably stay up all year lol. This is becoming one of my favorite holiday traditions. Thank you thank you thank you. Big hugs!

Comment: Hi again :-) . . . I love your postcard, it's so colorful and has interesting patterns. What did you use to make the paint so shiny? Is it the paint, or is it something you put on over the paint? As you can tell, I don't know very much about multi/mixed media art. I'm learning some things, but it's not what I usually do. It looks to me like you know a lot and have probably been making multi-layered art for a long time. I really love the layers you achieved.

Response: I am so glad you liked it! The shine comes from a coat of Triple Thick sealer I sprayed on at the end. Love that stuff! Layers are so necessary in the things I create! You can achieve some wonderful effects via layers. Thanks for joining my swap, and for the heart!

Did you use triple thick to seal it? I'm doing very little decorating this year but your new ornament will be front and center (and your eggshell snowflake is up year-round). Have yourself a Merry little Christmas. Looking forward to swapping with you in 2017.

Response: I am so very happy you like it! I did use triple thick to seal it, and the metallic rubbing/buffing wax gives that awesome look of real metal. Love that stuff! It warms my heart that my ornaments are on display at your home, and that the snowflake is up year round. I have your sock monkey eggshell piece on my tree, and even after Christmas he will still be on display in my living room.

Comment: Thank you, Jessica, for the wonderful bookmarks! I love studying people's artwork and technique. Both bookmarks were so different and unique...I love them! I also love your monkey on a ball stamp on the back and the postage stamps you used on the envie. Thanks and thanks for hosting! Omg I almost forgot... The card was also so cool (painting of Liberty and the Peaks of Otter).

Response: You're very welcome! I'm so happy you like everything. I found that set of notecards at a local Goodwill years ago. Thanks for the heart and your kind comments! :)

Comment: Wow, Jessica!! The ATC you sent me is amazing!! So much texture and depth -- I can't stop looking at it and touching it :) It reminds of a vintage photo or stereoview photo. I love the clear shiny top piece. I know I've asked you before, but what is it? The notecard is gorgeous, too!

Response: Yay! I'm so happy you like it! :) It was a blast to make! The clear piece is a piece of clear report cover, or maybe a sheet for overhead projectors...? I can't quite recall, but I had a whole package of them, which I've mostly used up in the last 5 years. Time to buy more! Thanks so much for the heart, and especially for your kind words. :)

Comment: Aaaaack! Now I'm going to have to print all my manila envelopes! Those colors are stunning! I LOVE your letter. It's so cool that you've been here and visited the Monument. That's my favorite morning hike. The east entrance is five minutes from my doorstep. As for the swap, everything is fabulous! I especially like the circles print. (I think I was a circle in a former geometric life.) The bookmark and ATC are great! I so appreciate you giving me such fun examples of Gelli print products! Your alcohol ink pages are beautiful, as well. Do you spray them with something to get those open areas? Nice, nice, nice! Thank you very much!

Response: You're most welcome! I'm thrilled you're happy with the swap. The open areas on the alcohol inked papers are created by spritzing with alcohol. I spritz a little when the ink's still wet, then come back after it's dried and spritz again. I love the effect. I must admit, I'm terribly jealous that you're so close to the monument. What a beautiful place! Thanks again for swapping with me, and for a stellar rating and your kind comments! :)

Comment: Thanks for hosting this swap and for the great notecard. I love the subtle color. Did you use something besides acrylic on your plate or is it a brand with lots of transparency to it? It is really different from any of mine. Thanks!

Response: You're very welcome! I only used acrylic paint on the plate. I can't recall if it was the cheaper stuff or Liquitex brand. I've made so many prints it's hard to keep track, haha! Thanks for joining, and for a great rating!

Comment: I am so thrilled to have you as my partner. Jessica these bookmarks are gorgeous. And TWO of them ta' boot. You have really mastered the Gelli layering techniques. The beading on the tie and the crinkle ribbon matches so prettily. And my fave citrus colors too. The deli paper wrapping is another work of art in itself, and of course the notecard as well. This is such a pretty coordinated set and it is obvious how much work you put into it. Thank you so much for making it special for me, I do love trees. You should sell these in your shop. xo.

Response: You are more than welcome, my friend. I'm thrilled you like everything, and it was my pleasure to make something just for you. It's funny you mention selling them in my shop, as I had thought of doing that very thing. Thank you so much for a wonderful rating and your kind comments! xoxo

Response: You are so welcome! Since mailing the swap, I discovered that the brand of tape I used for some of the skins might have caused the curling issue. Needless to say, I know which brand not to use now! Thanks for a great rating!

Comment: Oh Jessica, I LOVED my swap. I was just thrilled when it arrived today and could not wait to open it. As usual it was filled with so many creative and beautiful things, it took at least 20 minutes to go through it all unwrapping each piece like a treasure. The gifts are too numerous to mention here for fear of writing a novel of thanks, but let me just mention that the handmade items I will keep and display and enjoy for many years to come and the items you bought for me I cannot wait to use. Thank you again for another lovely swap, you are an inspiration to me and that is something priceless.

Response: Aww, thank you for your kind words, sweetie! I'm thrilled you like it all. I loved putting it together for you. Yay for another fun swap between elf and monkey! :D Thanks for a great rating, hun!

I can't wait for my husband to see them when he gets home. Your zentangle is really beautiful!! The pen work is SO fine. Definitely going up on my wall in my craft room! And the notecards. Holy cow. They are SO BEAUTIFUL. I don't know that I will be able to ever part with them, but if I do, they will certainly go to someone who can appreciate them properly. And thanks for the ink pad too! I look forward to playing with it. I still have the notes from all the advice you gave me about inks and stamping, and I appreciate you taking the time to help me learn. You are awesome!! Thank you so much!!

I really like too how your tore the paper on the cranberry one. I am going to have to "borrow" your idea. I liked being able to see your progression from the first turquoise one and then the cranberry one. Thanks for sending me two, yay. I've not been in any ATC swaps for a long time and these will be so nice to add to my collection.. Also the card you made that you sent it in is just stunning. Oh man that gear embossing and the way you colored it. Its like I got 3 in 1. Thank you!

Response: Yay! I'm thrilled you liked it all. Maybe I should make some ATCs with the embossed gears...hmmm. *lightbulb* Thanks for a great rating! (Honeybadger4Life!)

The stamp is just gorgeous, one I have been wanting for forever, yet could never find. I needed a brayer, acrylic block, the alcohol inks, distressed embossing powder (can't wait to try), deli paper, handmade envies (lovely), chipboard book, the Winnie-the-Pooh vintage book and your lovely postcard and ATC. Chris loved his cards and Thea is playing with her headband. I know there is more, I can't list all the amazing items but once again this swap just made my week and blew me away. You are a stellar swapper and artist and I can't wait until our next swap! A thousand hearts to you!!!

Oh and I love the zombie with the brain protruding from his head! LOL I thought maybe the brain was detachable so I couldn't help but tug on it...nope, must still be connected. :P

Response: Yay! i like that the hand reminds you of Hellraiser. The zombie is actually a handcarved stamp of a clip-art image, well, the head. The brain i drew. i actually tried to think of a way to have the brain slide in and out without adding too much bulk, but came up short. i'm so happy you like them! :) Thanks for the great rating!

Comment: Wow! Thank you for such an amazing swap! The loteria ATC was absolutely beautiful, and the two tea bags were a sweet touch. And all the chartreuse. If there was a button to click to give you extra hearts, I would be clicking it now! :D

Response: You're very welcome! i really enjoyed making that ATC. And i personally feel there's no such thing as too much chartreuse. Thanks for the great rating, and the "extra" hearts! :)

Comment: Thanks, I love paisley! Beautiful work on the bookmark and card. It is fun to to find things in common with swappers, like music, books, and the need for reading glasses!

Response: You're welcome! And speaking of reading glasses, i need to just bite the bullet and get a pair! i'm glad you liked everything. Thanks for the excellent rating!

Comment: Whatever you used worked just fine. I prefer hand drawn ATCs because it's really hard to pull of the mixed media and collage ATCs and have it still look like art. I think you pulled it off very well. It's going into my favorites. Thank you!

Response: Yay! Thanks so much! i'm happy to hear it's a favorite. :) Thanks for the great rating!

Comment: Packages like these exemplify the reason hearts were invented; from the outside envelope stamped with a baroque swirl of stylized leaves, a diving swallow, and my name, to the beautifully-executed ATCs in matching swirls, birds (and my favorite colours) in their own onionskin envie.... and what shall I say about the scattering of delicately patterned punched-paper doves that topped an assortment of RAK artpaper 'scraps' (though the word is unfair to apply to such lovely and carefully-cut pieces of colour and texture....)? Elegantly-presented, thoughtfully chosen, and charmingly introduced with their own letter. I will definitely be up for a private swap with Jessica in the future! Hugs and a heart from a very happy bard, Judith

Response: You have made my day! i am so happy you like the papers i chose for you. From reading your profile, it appeared we had similar tastes, so i picked scraps i know i love. Thank you so much for the great rating and your kind words!

Comment: This card is really gorgeous - I thought about doing the Northern Lights but didn't come up with a way to capture them effectively. You sure did, though! Plus you sent it with a lovely greeting card and a pretty envelope. Great swap!

Response: The Norhtern Lights were tricky - in the end i found watercolors to be the best solution. i really enjoyed making this one for you! So happy you are pleased! :)

Comment: Really, really beautiful ATC! Thank you so much! I love it! And the texture is lovely - what did you emboss it with? And thank you for the lovely hand made stamp, too :)

Response: Yay! i'm so glad you like it. And thank you for my first heart! It's actually not embossed - i used dimensinal glaze, then sealed the whole thing with glossy varnish. It was really fun to make.
