Smiles and Art

While grocery shopping today, I was astonished at the number of other shoppers who smiled back when I purposely smiled at them. Like...everyone! And I'm afraid I looked a fright. It was March lion windy so my hair went in every direction possible. Maybe they were laughing? Nah.

Have you every heard of artist trading cards? I hadn't until yesterday when I read the words in another blog on wdc so I looked it up. There's a whole other culture out there. It was initiated in 1997 (wow am I behind the times) by a Swiss artist named Vance Stirnemann and now it is all over the place with local and online trading sites. The only real rule is that they have to be 2-1/2" x 3-1/2". Check it out on this Strathmore   site. Sounds like a lot of fun, going to make some.

until next time...c
