The first is for the husband of a friend, using a piece of silk I painted last year.  Simple, but it looked really pretty.

I wanted to experiment with making three-dimensional views of a pear using the lino block I carved in 2005 or early 2006.  I used paper, acrylic paint, cotton thread, ink and some thick two-sided adhesive foam to pad the pear on the cover.  Again, the height is 3.5 inches and the closed width was 2.5 inches. Open, it was about 4.5 inches.<\/p>\n<p>Front and back:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"250\" height=\"350\" align=\"bottom\" alt=\"the front for the pear harvest ATC\" title=\"the front for the pear harvest ATC\" src=\"https:\/\/thestidhams.com\/familypics\/blogpics\/ATC\/pearharvestATCfront.jpg\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"250\" height=\"350\" align=\"bottom\" alt=\"the back of the ATC which reads JOY\" title=\"the back of the ATC which reads JOY\" src=\"https:\/\/thestidhams.com\/familypics\/blogpics\/ATC\/pearharvestATCback.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Open:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"550\" align=\"bottom\" alt=\"the inside of the card with inscription and more abstract pear\" title=\"the inside of the card with inscription and more abstract pear\" src=\"https:\/\/thestidhams.com\/familypics\/blogpics\/ATC\/pearharvestATCopen.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I am having fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of us who play Babble have decided to trade these &#8220;Artist Trading Cards.&#8221; I made my first few this last week, prototypes in advance of actually making the cards I will trade with other Babblers.
