New Workshop: ATC Coin Book


Hi bloggers, long time no see...........

Well we are kick starting 2019 with a brand new workshop and this one is definitely a bit different..??

For this workshop project we have designed an ATC Coin book which is a concept that has been gaining in popularity over recent months. An ATC coin is just like a normal Artist Trading Card however it is shaped like a coin. For each coin you will be making your own works of art that can be stored in a beautifully made coin book designed to display your works of art and keep them safe and secure.

As you will see in the photos of the project we have included our own photographs on the coins to make a miniature photo album. This can be done by scaling your photos down so that they will fit on the 2.5 inch coin and in most cases have been printed in black and white so that they stand out from the artistic background.

Check out the photos below for some close up shots of the book and the coins:-


The designs of the coins have been created using scraps of paper and pieces of artwork that have been saved from previous projects. We have layered a few extra embellishments and stamped inspirational words and quotes.


The pockets inside the book have been created using Pink Paislee Auburn Lane papers and have an acetate window to help hold the coin in place in the pocket.
