October Artist Trading Cards...

October ATCs - Theme: Indigenous

I completed this month's ATCs over the weekend, and they're in the mail today. The theme was "indigenous". Handsome actually came up with this idea and found the image. I really liked it, so I went with it. 

"Indigenous" Theme

I have an unpublished counted thread chart that's still on my To Do List to make available in my Etsy shop. It features a buffalo/bison charm, and I have a lot of them. I set aside enough for this project, so in addition to showing a map of Wisconsin and which tribes lived (or still live) where, I also included this charm.

My doctor's appointment went really well, with a new appointment scheduled for a year from the surgery date. I won't see him before spring unless "BoB" needs to be replaced sooner. I'm keeping my fingers crossed in that regard.

I was only at work for about two hours yesterday morning, so that was an easy shift for me. Especially since it was a quiet night at home after all the running was accomplished.

I haven't decided yet what I'm going to do today, but I know a few loads of laundry are on the list. Once I get that going, I'll figure out what's next. Hope you have a great day!

  2. Well done on the cards - I especially like the addition of the bison. Handsome had a great suggestion!

  3. I wonder how many of the descendants of the original inhabitants live there now.

  4. That's very clever - I like that! Indigenous is a very interesting theme... BTW, didn't get to comment yesterday, but the birds look so realistic in that photo with all the shadows highlighting their dimension! You're getting so close!
