geisha atc fan

Okay, yes, these pictures are pretty horrible--if
I could have the camera in hand, AND a day with just
a little bit of sunshine, maybe these would be
better. Ugh. Sorry about that--you know how it is
when you make something that turns out kind of neat,
and then you can't seem to get a good shot of it?
Maybe that's just me . . .


ANYWAY, this is a simple atc fan--nothing elaborate.
Some rich Basic Grey in the background, great geisha
images from Altered Pages, gorgeous gold German
scrap, and a little ink, of course!


Here it is closed, obviously, and

open:


This is for the new Random Redhead Fan Challenge at
Gingersnap Creations
--the design team has come up
with some lovely pieces to inspire you, so stop by
and join in the fun!

I really like altered art fans; these are several
made a year or so ago. All the images came from
Altered Pages--maybe you remember them, as they
were available for a time as project kits:

(This one was also published in Altered Arts magazine.)





Fun stuff! I hope to see your fan creations soon!

WOW! *All* of these fans are gorgeous! Your geisha fan is so elegant, and your altered fans are amazing! I am absolutely lovin' the Poe one - he's a big favorite of mine, and I love the raven feathers across the top. What a great idea!
