Close-Up Photo ABC ATC's..Part 2
Swap Coordinator:FarStarr (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Artist Trading Card (ATC)  Photography 
Number of people in swap:17
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:May 18, 2007
Date items must be sent by:June 10, 2007
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

You will take pictures of the actual letters (H,I,J,K,L,M,N) off signs, sewers, mailboxes, trucks etc etc. If you can find the letters "accidentally" as opposed to actual letters that will work too. Then cut the pictures to ATC size (3 1/2" x 2 1/2"). You will make 2 sets of 7 ATC's to send to 2 partners.

Of course this is International!

I'm hoping to do the English alphabet in 4 parts so if you see letters for later...Take the picture!

It worked really well the last time to back the photos with cardstock. Please sign the backs and write what the object is.

It is also fun to post pictures here..I'd love to see them!

Red Tape* I am very serious about ratings! (Serious, but not crazy!) In order to participate you must have at least a 4.7 rating. Newbies are welcome, but please email me to let me know you are serious and fill out your profile. It's not fair to do the work and not get anything in return.

It's also really nice to note here when you send and receive your ATC's.

Most of all...Have Fun!

I had a blast putting the first set together - can't wait to start working on these!

FarStarr 05/ 8/2007 #

Awesome, Emily Post-Punk. I'm patiently waiting by the mailbox for my first ones to come back from processing. I just keep taking pictures of letters and then I go back and make sure I got them all. I couldn't believe that on the first one I kept thinking I had taken a bunch of d's (I live in Duxbury!). Come to find out, I hadn't taken any!

Hi Farstarr

I have already located some cool letters for the swap. Finding them "incidentally" is a lot of fun! As a newbie though, I won't have A to G, I know I can do them myself to keep but not as much fun as having someone else's! Any suggestions?

FarStarr 05/15/2007 #

I would be more than happy to swap a set of A-G with you!

Garagebandfan 05/17/2007 #

Hey I cant wait for this swap! I also wont have A-G but maybe I will convince someone to swap them with me!

FarStarr 05/17/2007 #

I can swap with you, but I have to have more developed. No Problem!

FarStarr 05/18/2007 #

Hi All...I just set up part 3!~ Have fun!

AngelFaeryKathleen 05/19/2007 #

Hay Gess What! I am sending to the same partners as part 1 - 2 old swapping friends, great :-)

FarStarr 05/19/2007 #

I better check the infinite probablity drive on this ship...;)

boatingbelle 05/22/2007 #

Kathleen in New Zealand and Rhonda in USA, your cards are in the post from UK. Please let me know when they arrive. Regards, Margot.

Maddy 05/23/2007 #

Hi, just a practical question: Does the photo itself have to be ATC size, or can the photo be smaller, as long as the cardstock it is mounted on, is ATC size? Some of my letters are odd shapes as I have to cut out the surrounding letters... I dont want to spoil the effect though, for whoever is lucky enough to get mine!!! Maddy

FarStarr 05/23/2007 #

I've been cutting my photos pretty much exactly ATC size, but some other people have made the photo a little smaller so it leaves a little 1/8" border of cardstock around the photo. You really don't need to cut out around your letter. I would rather see the context that the letter was in than to have it cut out all around. What is everyone else's feeling about this?

The infinity probability drive has just responded that it is really busy making a fabulous cup of hot tea, just the way DNA would have liked it, and why are you bothering it?

AngelFaeryKathleen 05/28/2007 #

Hi Boatingbelle, Your great photos, cards arrived in New Zealand yesterday, Monday. Thank you they are good fun :-)))

AngelFaeryKathleen 05/28/2007 #

Hi Boatingbell, I forgot to mention all the envelops they where in, one for each photo, all hand made and puched. Could I please steal your idea? Thank you :-)))

boatingbelle 05/29/2007 #

Glad you liked them, by all means use my idea, that's what swapping is all about. Regards, Margot

FarStarr 05/29/2007 #

The infinity probability drive is definitely busy making tea...I have the one of the same partners as the first swap too! (Whatever you do...don't think...)

FarStarr 06/ 2/2007 #

AngelFaeryKathleen 06/ 5/2007 #

Hi FarStarr and Starwatcher, keep and eye out in your letter box in 7 to 10 days as your cards are winging their way to you from New Zealand :-)

letter atc's going out to paisleybabe and ladybug today

PaisleyBabe 06/ 8/2007 #

I sent my ATC's to Barker & Emily Post-Punk today! :) Please let me know when they arrive. Thanks!

EmilyPostPunk 06/10/2007 #

Blargh! I am running a bit behind due to having lost my job last week. I've been somewhat frantically applying for new jobs and forgot all about art - imagine that. But I have my cards about 90% complete and will be getting them out asap. I've contacted both of my partners to let them know but thought I'd put it up here too just in case. I'm so sorry for the delay.

FarStarr 06/15/2007 #

Has anyone heard from Ladybug? I sent her an email and it doesn't look like she's been on swapbot for a while.

boatingbelle 06/16/2007 #

Thank you Nina for your lovely set of cards. Yours is the first mailing I have had from Ireland. Regards, Margot.

EmilyPostPunk 06/18/2007 #

Cards are finally going out today - again, I'm so very sorry for the delay.

AngelFaeryKathleen 06/19/2007 #

Sewcool72 thank you for a great selection of letters :-))

FarStarr 07/13/2007 #

Sets of my H-N's just went out to Paisleybabe and Emily Post-Punk. I'm sorry you haven't received any cards from ladybug.
