ATC Exchange 2022 - Sumi Ink Series

Continuing on after Julie's ZOOM class we decided to exchange ATC's every other month for the next year. Our fifth trade should be mailed by July 15th... We're a total of 11 participants.

Thought I'd create a 2nd set for July's exchange. I don't know how the encaustic series will hold up in the mail...
