Looking at all the Artist Trading Cards on WOYWWers desks last week made me envious of all the wonderful ATCs WOYWWers got for the WOYWW anniversary swap. Since I was out of the country, I wasn't able to make more than one so I decided to make some. I decided on a Filipino theme and started out with backgrounds from a Filipino songbook...
Then I made some faces and tried to make them look Filipino. Each one of the girls will be wearing a "terno", a type of Philippine traditional dress worn on formal occasions. It has big "butterfly" sleeves like this...
Here is an ATC that's almost finished...
What's on your workdesk? Join in the fun of peeking and showing off your desk!

Un travail magnifique... J'aime vos petites cartes avec vos jeunes filles philippines...
Très joli travail...
En ce moment je dessine le croquis de ma prochaine peinture qui aura encore une fois des inspirations philippines...
Gros bisous
You are a true artist. I wish that I could draw faces the way you do. Wonderful. #14
I love how you used the song book as your backgrounds for your ATC's. And your painted ladies are very lovely. dani22
These are gorgeous! And oh so tiny and adorable. An excellent series indeed...
Wow, amazing - I love those pretty faces.
Very gorgeous cards!

these ATC's look great! You are very talented. I was a bit jealous too but I had just started joining in when the anniversary swap took place. Maybe I'll do it next year. Valerie #36
Love your ATC's! I am trying to learn to draw faces but they all seem to come out looking the same unlike your gorgeous girls! Love the puffy sleeves on the dress and the girl is beautiful. Have a great week. Vickie @23

this is fantastic! I'm amazed at how quickly you can draw a batch of faces, and how easily you are able to create a wonderful scene around them. Finally, I love the Filipino theme. Just beautiful.

Just gorgeous. They look so sweet and colourful and I just love them. Funny, I've been hopping and a few of us have been carrying on with ATC play. It's as if the WOYWW crowd has a hive mind sometimes - we all get inspired by something and off we go!
But again, just lovely work (and the old photo too - love it)

Thanks for the visit to me Peggy - I was calling in on you anyway. Just stayed in bed a little longer than anticipated.
What wonderful atc's you are making, they would look wonderful all lined up in a frame with those gorgeous faces that you do. The backgrounds are delightful - what did you use to colour them, they are so vital and alive.
Thanks for the info on the traditional dress, what fabulous sleeves.
Thanks for sharing - Blessings, Neet #21 xx
oh wow! this weeks Wednesday dash is showing so much talent! Love art work, love it! Have a great week! HaPpY WoYwW

Love your ATCs and the photo to show what you were talking about.
Your photo is gorgeous and the atcs you are creating from its inspiration are beautiful.#9
So beautiful - I love the national dress too. x Jo #84
Beautiful faces!!! WOW! Your paintbox makes me happy! Just say'n. What brand do you use?
Beautiful ladies! Those look fun. I am working on an acrylic painting again.
Beautiful atc's Peggy, love the bright colours and the pretty ladies with their traditional dress. Odd to think you hadn't seen a Canadian Goose until recently as they're almost like vermin in Michigan there's so many of them!
Hugs

It would take me a month of Sundays to draw just one of those faces Peggy but you’ve managed so many this week. The ATC looks amazing and I’m sure that whoever you send them to will be thrilled.
Happy Crafting!

Oh my! You are really going to town with those faces. It looks like not just a WIP, but an assembly line of very different faces. How incredible. I was here earlier, but my computer locked up. Now I'm back. Happy end of WOYWW. I bet it's Thursday where you are.
Great idea...Love the faces and the Filipino music backgrounds.
Magnifique!
oh! They're wonderful! I love the small pile of faces - beautiful work. *smiles* ~Jen
