ATC – “Peace”
“Peace is not something you wish for; Its something you make, Something you do, Something you are. And something you give away.” [Robert Fulghum]
This one of my favorite quotes. Those of you that know me well, know that I am a collector of peace signs. In honor of my addiction to peace signs and my love and desire for world peace, I created this Artist Trading Card, simply called “Peace”.
Artist Trading Cards are small miniature works of art the same size as modern baseball cards, 2 ½ X 3 ½ inches (63 mm X 89 mm). Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth. The cards are usually traded or exchanged.
If you create Artist Trading Cards (ATC’s) and/or are a collector of peace signs, studio 27A would love to hear from you.
Have a great weekend. ☮❤

Encouraging Word Rocks
Rock Painting in Oil City PA - Rock On Oil City
All encouraging words: imagine, fun, give, inspire, love, dance, smile, peace, care, hope, grow, sing, faith, and shine.
Paint some some rocks with encouraging words and put them in a bowl located near your front door. Whenever someone comes over and comments on them (kids or adults) ask them to please take one home with them. It will be fun to see them leave with a special token.
Happy Spring!

“B & W Mandolin”
One of the things I like to do for fun is take photos of my instruments (I collect instruments – LOL). At the end of the year 2012, I plan to create a video of all of the unusal and fun “Front Porch Folk” instrument shots we have taken during the 4 beautiful seasons: spring, summer, fall and winter. Below is a black and white shot taken on Friday, March 30, 2012 of my mandolin. I would encourage you to pick a subject and start taking photos. Today the sun was a challenge, but I would tell you not to get discouraged, you can always re-take the shot or edit the photo in Photoshop or another type of photo editing software. Enjoy taking photos, have fun with it, learn from your mistakes, and remember to pick a subject that means something to you!
Peace my friends! ☮❤
