My very first LTC is done! Well, almost done. I just have to glue the last 5 treasure chests on the last 5 cards and they're done (they're drying right now). But yay! Done! Dance! And they're almost all traded away already. Most of them were traded before they were anywhere near done, haha. I can't wait until I start receiving ones from other people. It's going to be so inspiring to see what others can do and hopefully give me more ideas of what I can do. I'm happy with the outcome of my first one but I can't wait to see how I grow.
Needless to say, I think I'm officially addicted to LTC's now. I joined another tracker, which I am MOST excited about because I get to make a card all about my beautiful kitty girl. The only issue with it is that I have so many ideas for it I can't choose. Trixie is a multi-faceted kitty, that's for sure. Before I can start I have to make myself finish up some things. I need to finish these LTC's (5 left to trade if anyone wants one :), finish the logbook for the stamp I carved for the Norther NY gather and send it out and make a log book to replace one of Lock Wench's in downtown Syracuse. I also need to start carving some stamps to plant soon but I really have no ambition in that area right now. I am loving the LTC making process, it's much more of a creative outlet than simply carving a stamp of an image I found online. I know that once warm weather officially hits though and I'm back in hardcore hiking/boxing action I'll flip back into it.
BTW, funny thing I saw today. I was skimming through craftster and found a girl in the UK who is SELLING her hand carved stamps. From what I saw they were pretty simple images carved on the pink stuff (the horror!) and she was selling them for the equivalent of $10. WTF? I've seen some amazing carves that would warrant much higher amounts than that and I doubt the carvers ever once thought about it. Crazy people.
