Collage Mania

The collage above is an 8" X 8" square using the map, wilderness pass and trip information from last Saturday's hike in the Sawtooths.

Made 10 more ATC's last night and finished them up today.

Received an email that one of my ATC's was found at a workplace "coffee station" I have made 10 more and am placing them randomly around town as I go about my daily routine...bank...copy shop...restaurants...etc. This has been fun and my husband is even getting into it suggesting places to leave them.

Lots and Lots of fun

Last night was fun at the studio making more Artist Trading cards to put around town for people to find as publicity for our upcoming show August 6th. Getting into the spirit of the "trading" part, I asked Marianne if she wanted to make a trade. I already knew which one I wanted of hers but she wanted a custom one, so I created her one on the spot. Here is the one I received, the one I gave her is on her blog.

Then this afternoon Marianne, Nancy and I walked around downtown and hid them in various stores and restaurants, and even hung a few from trees and benches. This is getting to be so much fun we are going to make more and leave them were ever we can for people to find.

Artist Trading Cards

As some of you know I am part of an artists group "The Gypsy Gallery" we are a group of 10 artists of various media who exhibit our art together and apart in many locations throughout Boise as we do not have our own 4 walls. As part of publicity for our August "First Thursday" showing on the Boise Grove downtown by the fountain we will be placing Artist Trading Cards aka ATC's around town prior to August 2nd. The Wording below is what is on the back of my cards. Maybe you will even find one!

The art you hold in your hand is an original Artist Trading Card (ATC) by Pam McKnight. If you like it please email me at: boiseartist@gmail.com
and let me know where you found it! If you don't want it, please feel free to pass it on to someone who might - or play the game and leave it somewhere for someone else to find!

Visit Gypsy Gallery at the Grove on First Thursday, August 2, 2009 from 5-9 pm. You won't regret it!!! Original Artist Cards from the artists are spread throughout Boise
