Mimmsical Creations

Ok - I have to mail these off SOON, but here are the cards I made for a "myth" themed swap on my Sharpie group.

I'm stretching things a bit with a couple of these, but as it was an optional theme, I figured it was ok!

My first one is a rendering of a Celtic Cross. You can't get a whole lot more mythological in my mind than all things Celtic. I had a picture that I was looking at to do this one. It wasn't easy, but it wound up not being as hard as I had imagined. I am thinking of adding a Gaelic phrase to this one, but probably will leave as is...

The next one I did is a stretch as far as mythology, but it kept popping into my head, so I went with it. I LOVED Cinderella as a kid - the whole fairy tale story appeals to me. So, I did a version of Cinderella's pumpkin carriage. While it's not a myth, it is a wonderful story that has been passed through centuries and has survived many retellings.



The next one I attempted (and actually really love!) is a dragon. What better mythological creature to "sharpie-ize" than a dragon. I used a background that I created using the "Try It Tuesdays" technique I blogged about a few days ago. This is on watercolor paper. I just cut it down to ATC size! He's drawn in with a black sharpie! He makes me smile - I called him "Dreamy Dragon".

My final Myth card is truly a stretch, but it was so funny I couldn't Not do it! I don't know if anyone remembers this but me, but there is a bit in the old Muppet Movie where Kermit is trying to tell someone about a myth - the guy keeps being confused, and Kermit is saying, "Myth... Myth" to try and get his point across. Then a young woman pokes her head around the corner and says, "Yeth?" For whatever reason, this popped for me and I just HAD to make a Kermit myth card! :)Categories: atcs_, art_
