A pinch and a punch

First day of the month. First day of winter too. It has been an eventful few weeks here - on top of all the usual guff I have been making elephants, I sprained my ankle and we went to the Melbourne Zoo.

I don't know how I sprained my ankle but boy it hurts. The doctor tells me it will be at least a month before it feels better. I try to keep off it as much as possible but it aches at night and gets icy cold deep inside. aaarrrgghhhh

The Melbourne Zoo is a wonderful place and they are constantly upgrading the exhibits - such an amazing wonderland for two young princesses and their not so young escorts. I had a great time finding inspiration for my Elephant ATC's.

I'm hosting an Elephant ATC swap for the yahoo group artisttradingcards and am excited to say that there are 18 players made up of peple from Australia, the UK, the USA and Finland. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with. Below are some of the ATC's I have made for this swap:


Dust Storm; Ruby; Lucky; Lasting Love; Family Tree and Elephant Dancing @41

Hi, like yr atc's, especially these elephants. I'd like to know how you made the metal elephant one? It's so good.
Cheers, Sodapop (AtcOz)

I have to admit that the metal one is a bit of a cheat ... blush ... I went to the Melbourne Zoo and they were selling these fantastic metal bookmarks at a great price. I figured I could trim it down to make two ATC's. I would be rapped if I could create something like that without having to buy it.
