Ask Anissa: Where can I find information on ATC's?

Question: Where can I find information about ATC's?  I would like to know more about how to make them and where to find embellishments and findings to use for decoration.  Also, are there books on this subject or places online specifically dedicated to ATC's?  Marleen M., Spokane, WA

Answer: I was so happy to see this particular question!  I love the whole idea of ATC's and have written several articles on this subject in the past 2 years.  I have created a special page here on my site for this subject.  I have links in the article to sites that have great information and that may be more in depth than what I have written.  I know there are slowly becoming more and more people who are blogging about ATC's or who have sites of their own who are including information and resources.  I would try Flickr for photos of other peoples designs for inspirational purposes, and also follow links from ATC sites to other ATC related websites.  Please let me know if the information I have is useful or if you find any other info that may be of help to others.
