International!

Newbie friendly!

Three partners, one ATC each for a total of 3 ATCs!

For this swap you are to make three market stall ATCs. Each ATC must have a market stall that must fill the ATC so no borders and no tiddly little stalls. The reason for doing so is that you'll receive three ATCs in return, all by different artists but all uniform in size so you can have your very own row of market stalls if you keep your ATCs in a binder.

If you don't know what I mean by "a market stall that must fill the ATC" just PM me and I'll show you a picture!

EDT: Well I've had a few people contact me so I just went ahead and uploaded my photos to Flickr.

Your market stall can sell whatever you please maybe fruit and veg, meat, fish, herbs and spices, pottery, clothes, crafts or crafting items, sweets, baked goods, flowers, etc. Or how about one of the lovely European Christmas market stalls selling gingerbread and wooden toys?

Use whatever media you feel inspired to use it could be painted, drawn, collaged, etc. What's important is you make something you would be more than happy to receive.

No stickers or clipart images stuck onto plain cardstock showing no thought or imagination please!

Newbies to have filled out profiles.

No 1 ratings within the last 3 months (thats anytime after 13th August) unless you have contacted me with good reason.

Must have an overall rating of 4.8 and above.

If anyone does not meet these requirements by the sign-up date you will be banned. I will not contact you before hand as it will just waste time and it's not fair on other participants. You know the requirements, if you do not meet them then you shouldn't sign up.

So are these just a specific theme myrioramas? If so, please provide a template or measurements so the various parts line up correctly?

See the myriorama swap from last year for more info. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/3671

No these are not myrioamas, as they are going to 3 sperate partners they do not need to line up or follow-on. As long as the market stall fills the ATC it doesn't matter if one person does the stall a little higher or lower as market stalls tend to be different shapes and sizes.

What I wanted to avoid by having the stalls fill the ATC is someone ending up with one ATC eith a market stall that fills it, and then another with a market stall about an inch high if you see what I mean.

Market stalls in my town are usually tables full of the product covered with either a canopy or a "market" umbrella. You can enter the stall as there are usually 1 or 2 rows to peruse. Can it be done this way or specif to our own area?

Yes of course, sounds like a great idea!

Oh I can't wait to do this one! I'm collecting items to make a Christmas Village and these would look soo cute in it! Thank you for a great swap!

A Christmas village, that sounds cute, you'll have to show us a pic when you've completed it!

stitchesaroundtheworld 11/16/2008 #

Oh I definitley will! I've been wanting to make one for a long time. So it's a work in progress! Oh wouldn't that be cool to make them out of all the things I've collected on swap bot? The things in a Christmas theme that is ;)
