Did you ever make something that was vaguely disturbing? I think this ATC is disturbing. I am in an ATC group and the theme for this month was fruits and veggies. I have these cool vegetable stamps from Close To My Heart that I thought would be perfect for this. They are long retired and I haven't used them much, so when opportunity knocks, you have to answer the door : )
When I started this ATC, the idea was pretty normal. Carrot, good for your eyes, and all that. In fact, this piece is probably the most normal of all the ATCs I made for the swap --the other ones are REALLY disturbing! (sorry swapmates, don't mean to freak you out!!).The reason I think that these are so disturbing is because the eyes are too serious -- it is almost like they are too intense for the stamps. Oh well, every once in a while we have to make things that jar the senses...
The background on this is a Technique Junkie Newsletter technique called Acetate Swirl from the 6th Edition CD Bonus Techniques. The eyes were stamped on the Acetate, then colored with gel pens. Is it just me, or do they disturb you, too?

Definately a little creepy, Pat. LOL! Would love to see the others!!
Now of course....I think it is so cool! "artsy"...I just wouldn't expect this from you, me yeppers...maybe I'm turning you! smiles....
Carrots...ugh. I have never liked carrots nor do I eat them. So this card definitely suits me perfectly. You would think it was designed with me in mind.

PS When our children were small I added carrots to stew and other dishes because they were so colorful. One day our youngest son noticed that I never did eat the carrots and he asked why he had to eat them. My response, "When you get to be a mother you don't have to eat them." It took him a few years to realize that he would never be a mother.
Call me disturbed (or disturbing) if you will!!! Yup, it is a little creepy...but I find it to be wicked kewl!!! I too would love to see the others. You are a disturbingly creative little thing, aren't you??? Hisses, Rockin Robin
You missed the opportunity to use the carrot as her nose! Now that would have been disturbing!
I like the eyes. I did one last month---theme color blue. I stamped the eyes on tissue paper in blue ink, cut them close and decoupaged them on my ATC. It was definitely strange and totally "outside the box" for me. Your eyes fit in with your theme of good eyesight! Cool ATC !

Hugs!

Nope, it isn't disturbing to me at all. It is very interesting.
Well first I was just looking at how shiney the carrot was then the eyes sorta just POP out at you! haha...I think it is very cool!
Pat, this totally has the creepy weird factor going for it. I LOVE it, and would definitely like to see the others.
