ATCs - Artist Trading Cards - are 2.5" x 3.5" pieces of art that are being made and traded around the world. We started a Swap here in Rockport at the public library and we are having so much fun that we began to wonder what it would be like if everywhere we travelled we were able to find a library with a Swap. And what if our library group swapped with your library group? The possibilities are endless - and fantastic!
So Robinsunne has written you a book with all of the wisdom and experience that our group has gained, PLUS over 30 lessons, including the ones we use at our swaps, to give your group - or yourself - a focus when you gather.
These lessons are excellent for beginners and young children, but fabulous for experienced artists. What seems like a simple cut and paste idea turns into exquisite art in the hands of the skilled craftsperson.

In 1993 Robinsunne published her first book, Nannee.
Nannee, an herbalist, takes her granddaughter for a walk, and teaches her about the plants that they gather together.
The words for each page frame the pictures and all are cut in silhouette from black paper. The original pages feel like lace.
The possibility of recreating the paper cuts was too distant for this, my first project - so we had a raised print made of one of the pages in the book that we include with each book to allow the reader to feel that texture.
You may get an inside look and purchase Nannee here.
