Hello! It's time for another Dog themed ATC swap. International. This is sender's choice so feel free to draw, paint, collage, rubber stamp - choose an additional theme if you want - whether it be dog + steampunk, or dog + autumn, or dog + zetti - it's up to you. Just make sure you ATC is artistic! Do not just slap a sticker or two on a background. Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern trading cards. They're 2 1Γ’Ββ2 by 3 1Γ’Ββ2 inches (64 mm Γβ 89 mm), small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets. The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or fiber. The cards are usually traded or exchanged. When sold, they are usually referred to as "Art Card Editions and Originals" (ACEOs). This swap is open to anyone with at least 20 type 3 swaps (those are the artsy or craftsy types) and with a rating of 4.9 or better. Please be sure to let your partner know your name and the name of the swap so they can rate you. If you have any issues (get flaked) let me know, I'll angel. |
