"Cosmic millinerynotwithstanding,
Lady Lunabee
was very good
at losing herself
in the universe."
Starting today, this week's theme at the Three Muses blog is one of my very favorite: hats! As a Zetti lover through and through, hats, crowns and all manner of pointy millinery often make an appearance in my work. This ATC triptych, entitled "Lady Lunabee's Wayward Ways," features a very tall, very spacey (yet still stylish) piece of headgear.
Triptychs are a great way to expand your artist trading card canvas and provide yourself with an additional challenge. When I start to feel a bit cramped by the size parameters of the standard ATC, I expand my theme vertically or horizontally. Consider making your background as one piece and then slicing it up into three pieces which you can then further embellish. Triptychs can remain unattached but displayed together or you can connect the cards with jump rings or eyelets and wire. The possibilities are endless times three!
Yeah how cool is that ?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning. Fantastic job.
Great ATCs - and great triptych! Your artwork is very elegant, a pleasure to look at. And thank you for the valuable tips on making triptych ATCs!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've seen the idea of expandable ATCs. What a great innovation! And this card is brilliant,--creative, artistic, clever and a joy to behold. Thanks for sharing your talent.
ReplyDeleteYour card is very successful. The color, picture and the whole design.
ReplyDeleteI ADORE Lady Lunabee! She's absolutely charming. What a great, creative idea, Michelle, to create triptychs. You're SO darn clever, and I LOVE it! Hugs, Terri xoxo
ReplyDeletePS Only a few more days of waiting!!!
Lady Lunabbee looks mahvelous! Your art is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour use of space, elements and color are extroidinary!! This is soooo wonderful, I love it! Thank you again Michelle for teaching me something new today!
ReplyDeleteOh, how utterly delicious! Lady Lunabee has just the right touch of upper-crustness and disdain even though her sense of direction may be lacking. I love the idea of the ultimate pointed hat, spearing its ways through the stars. This is such an original and clever design and it blows me away. I love the idea of expanding an ATC vertically or horizontally too. Stunning work.
ReplyDeleteWonderful creative piece- and what a neat idea for ATC's - adds so much more dimension but still plays by the rules- beautiful artwork here too!
ReplyDeleteI love your Zetti style and that hat is something to behold ...... wowee.... gorgeous, wonderful and funny. Great work.
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea - the triptych. Yours is delightful as it is gorgeous. Great entry.

ReplyDeleteWhat a UNIQUE piece of art Michelle ! I'ts a feast to look at !
ReplyDeleteClever and whitty...like that look on her face!
ReplyDeleteLove the triptych approach and the hat is fabu!
ReplyDeleteThis is a heavenly piece of art! I love your method of tripling the ATC! I suppose you could also glue ribbons to the back of the atc's to expand them. I am so happy that you're posting again regularly - one of my fave blogs!
