My first progressive atc and the steps are not that complicated but rather repetitive. I won't type out the page of instructions. (Although a nincompoop like me actually needs the pages of instructions so that I could understand what I was meant to do.) But woyww are far more clever. You need 3 people in the group. First person makes the background sends to second person who adds focal image who then sends to third person to add embellishments. Then you all swap places and so that in the end you have 3 different atc's with each step created by a different person. Not sure yet which focal image I will use.
A completed box using quite a few of Andy Skinner's techniques i.e. copper patina, chipped and rusted paint and rivets and rust.
Finally a pic of another lovely orchid flowering on my deck.
See you all on the wonderful world of woyww....
The ATC sounds really interesting. Can't wait to see how they turn out. Your orchid is just gorgeoous as is the box.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orchid.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a progressive ATC swap but sounds interesting.

I've not heard of a progressive ATC swap, but it sounds like fun! Your orchid is divine, stunning! waving hi from hills of North Carolina :) ( not yet numbered )
ReplyDeleteOK, I really do understand about the ATC swap now. Curious to see the end results. That orchid is beautiful! I've got some flowering (in the ground) in a corner of the garden, where they can't be seen!
ReplyDeleteLovely lunch, thanks again for gorgeous lace, etc.

Oooh not heard of progressive ATCs before - sounds oodles of fun. Thanks for sharing - Sunshine Girl No. 58
ReplyDeleteHeard of progressive dinners, I like the idea of progressive ATCs!
ReplyDeletegreat post! Love the idea of a progressive ATC swap. Great picture of the orchid and green sunshiny garden! Did you guys get hit with a storm last week? I have been following the weather pretty close (since I was storm chasing) and it looked like you were under some warnings. Have a great week. Vickie #67
ReplyDeleteNever heard of progressive atc's but what a great idea. Love your garden Helen 22
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun idea with the ATCs. Guess it takes a bit of organisation but what a brilliant idea. Love that orchid.

See I just think some of us struggle under instruction.. you are by no means a nincompoop - however I may be - not mailed your things yet because I suddenly thought My Aunt cannot get peas into AUS when she goes through customs ( she always throws open her bags and declares - check my bags I'm not sure....and she usually has something removed by them ( they must keep a record and hvae her down as a smuggler - no suprise that we are related?)...
ReplyDelete- can I post glass???
if not I have to swap what I made you...

That’s an interesting way to make an ATC Sandra. I’ve never really got into making ATC’s myself and have only ever made one (well four really but all the same design) for the anniversary swap, but it sounds fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd what a beautiful Orchid….how big is that flower!
I have three in my kitchen but they are nowhere as big as your one.
Happy Crafting!

Looks like you are having crafty fun. That orchid is stunning. x Jo
ReplyDeleteWOW. That box is my kind of art. I've always wanted to play in a progressive piece. I've done swaps, but none that were progressive. Good for you. I look forward to some completions, too. Happy WOYWW from #6.
ReplyDeleteI'e never heard of a progressive ATC before but what a fun idea! The orchid is gorgeous. Kate #131
ReplyDeleteWow! That is quite the orchid. Nincompoop! I haven't heard that word in forever. I don't think you are one though. Directions are a good thing and keep you on task. I like that progressive ATC has distinct rules-first one does this, second one does that, etc. Is your tall lady from the stamp (Stampotique!) going to be on the ATC? That will be fun.
ReplyDeleteAhh, so that's what a progressive ATC is!! Thought it was a very right-in piece of work :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your orchid has a face - it looks like Audrey from A Little Shop of Horrors to me!!!!
Hugs, LLJ ~70 xx
Well I'd never heard of progressive atcs before, that sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThat orchid is gorgeous, a true thing of beauty--thank you for posting it!
:)trisha, #153, showing 2 desks this week :)
Right, I understand now. It all sounds like fun and I bet it'll be really interesting to see the end results.
ReplyDeleteYour orchid is stunning, as it that blue sky, although we had some of our own today....at last. Hurray. I hope it lasts.
Happy WOYWW

Fascinating concept, the progressive ATC, Sandra! Reminds me of what a friend of mine used to do years ago. It started quite accidentally. She gave her daughter a present with a bow on it, and her daughter saved the bow and added some glitter or something to it, and attached it on her next present back to her mother. In the end this bow went all around the family (and even spent a short while with me) with each person adding something extra, until the embellishment (no longer just a bow!) was totally OTT and it was hard to stop it circulating! I think it stopped when it started falling apart and bits were dropping off!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful orchid - a lovely photo of it, too.
The box with Andy Skinner's techniques is great, too. Altogether a very interesting post!
Happy WOYWW,

Beautiful flower...and what a fun ATC idea..Found a little PM time and have enjoyed the visits..Enjoy your week #154 wishing you happy WOYWW.
ReplyDeleteProgressive ATCs are such fun - bit like circle journals and round robins. Gorgeous Orchid!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by...
Thanks for your lovely comment, Sandra - I'm a half-way nincompoop - I throw things away and then fish them out of the bin again when I realise I can use them lol! We live and learn. My motto definitely has to be Never Throw Anything Away lol! I'm having So Much Fun with the inks, the spraying, the randomness of the results... It's all SO creative!
