...and these are the ones i've received so far - thanks guys and gals

I agree - it was really great getting creative with this gorgeous animal as our theme.

Thanks for popping in

the seven I have gotten so far thank you for the trade all!

Did you know that all of these are backwards ?
I still 2 more to get yet and I will post my Long Necks.. !!

This is interesting, when is the next one?

backwards? to me who lives in the backwoods, they are frontwards

No seriously .. the photo's of your cards are flipped .. you're right they are frontwards but the pictures are mirrored..

redone the upload Carol I'm sorry for the first one I did them when I was tired and didn't realize how off they were, and thank you for your card, I enjoyed this trade tremendously
Kat

Isn't it funny what we do when we are tired.. .. How you got them flipped like that I haven't figured out yet .. Honestly I didn't mean for you to have to do them all over again .. Now see I made you tired again ..
I have one more Giraffe to come in and I'll post them all. ..

I still lack one card but decided I best get these posted before I forget .. I am so proud of them all .. My Card album is getting full and will soon have to start a second edition.. It is so much fun to look thru the pages .. Thanks to you all .. Carol

I scanned them and then flpped them in photoshop and must have mirrored them too..laughs...I have no idea what I did, and probably wouldnt be able to do it again..thank you again for noticing and you have a wonderful set of cards there for your album..

I know what you mean .. My brain only works at half speed..
Yes I do have some pretty terrific cards to add to my collection.. I still crack up whenever I see the one Sue sent to me..

Cathy & Carol,

that is what I do when I use a reference that I get off the net. There are so many images that have been used on site after site after site that you no longer know who the original photographer is to ask about using it...........so I pop it into Gimp and flip it and distort it and change it. It ends up quite different from the original sometimes, but it still has the original animal or object as its base so that my dimensions are right.

I don't mind doing that for ATC's that I swap, but if it was a piece that was to be exhibited or sold I would be doing a completely original piece that I have photographed myself or drawn from life.
