Description Made for the found poetry-a-thon at the ATCs for All forums.

You take a page from whatever and use the words to make a poem. That poem is collaged onto an image.

In my case I used the cita-solv technique on the photo pages of a National Geographic magazine to create abstract backgrounds. I then took the non photo pages that I had pulled out before hand to "find" my poems and matched them to a background.

Can't wait to make more. Beware probable spammage.

Too cool - I have been away from deviant for a while but joined ATCsForAll a few months ago. What a pleasant surprise to see I already had this ATC as a fav! Hope to see more of your work there.

Wow! That is awesome. You've compelled me to want to try that. I love the compositions on all your cards. Is that watercolor or ink or something like that? I also like the ravens.

Are any of them available for trade?

Thanks, the found poetry is so fun to do. It's actually citra-solv. I wrote a lil article on my blog:[link]

Basically, you soak a National Geographic magazine in this natural cleaner called citra-solv. It melts the ink on the pages into abstract designs.

and no none are available. but there is one day left of poetry- athon and I'm hoping to make more for trade. I would love to trade with you, your cards are great. If you want to check out the poetry-athon here's a link [link] honestly that's the best site for trading I've found. I used to try to keep my cards updated here: but I gave up because I lose track so fast.
