Noah’s Ark ATC / ACEO

Hand painted ATC / ACEO by Cobwebs at The Cobweborium Emporium, with the addition of a handpainted mount which frames the ATC/ACEO

I saw a print which was much like this one, some time ago and fell in love with it. It wasn’t available for sale so I took a quick (shaky hand) snap shot of it simply because it made such an impression on me. I looked for this same print for years and never found it and since I didn’t know who the original artist was it became a fruitless, impossible search. So I decided that I’d try to paint myself something which had that same childlike quality, but with the charm which had captured my heart in the original which I’d seen. I decided upon an ATC or ACEO (depending on which ‘tag’ you prefer to give this type of small art).

All painted in acrylics. The actual ATC / ACEO is the middle part of the painting. The mount outside the painting isn’t actually part of the ATC as such – it’s just a ‘crafty’ extention of the topic and turns a boring mount into something which speaks and tells it’s own story.

This one was such a load of fun to paint. A thoroughly enjoyable wet afternoon sat at my desk and having a joyful time.

So … do you paint?

Hello. I'm 'Cobwebs'. I live in a wee little cottage in the South of England, aptly called Cobweb Cottage. This little dwelling really is a cobweb factory. Not inside (well, occasionally) - but outside - flipping heck! This information should give you a clue as to why my blog is called The Art of Cobwebs aka: The Cobweborium Emporium. I've been arty and crafty from a very young age, and although my crafts have sometimes turned a corner and taken me in another direction, I've always crafted in some way, shape or form. One day, in the blink of an eye, life changed somewhat for me and the consequences were many. I had to find a new way of being 'artistic'. Card making; scrap-booking; producing ATC's and ACEO's; needle felting; Polymer clay; painting- but in a more relaxed style than I had before, and sewing, - are all things which I visit, as and when life allows. I've fairy recently become a Textile Artist and am enjoying this new creative outlet very much as it offers me so much scope for letting my imagination run through a grassy field and feel the wind in my hair - (mentally, of course). I love to create. To make things. I truthfully believe that the best gifts in the world are those in which you've given your time, rather than your cash. Thank you so much for visiting. Please visit my blog (link below) and have a look around. I'm sure you'll find something to enjoy, even if it's only a handful of jokes! (yes, seriously - there really are jokes!) Wishing you a truly blessed rest of your day! ~ Cobs. <3 View all posts by The Art of Cobwebs - aka:- thecobweboriumemporium
