Description:

This will be a 5 part series based on the Dollanganger Series of books by V C Andrews.

Part 1 - Flowers in the Attic (1979)

Part 2 - Petals on the Wind (1980)

Part 3 - If There Be Thorns (1981)

Part 4 - Seeds of Yesterday (1984)

Part 5 - Garden of Shadows (1986)

For this series, you will make one (1) ATC for one partner each month. The ATC will be either drawn or painted using your imagination. It can be as simple or complex as you like, but please take time to make these ATC's that you would love to receive yourself, thank you.

I will put the series out in monthly blocks - so we aren't snowed under with it all.

If you do not know the books, that's fine, the link below will give you a run-down of the plot summary, I will include the links for each book each month.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowersinthe_Attic (if someone can tell me how to embed this to the page, I would be most appreciative)

Flowers in the Attic is a 1979 novel by Virginia Andrews. It is the first book in the Dollanganger Series, and was followed by Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, and Garden of Shadows. The novel is written in the first person from the point of view of Cathy Dollanganger. It was adapted into a film of the same name in 1987. The book was extremely popular, selling over 40 million copies worldwide.

Usual ATC rules apply - 2.5 x 3.5 inches on sturdy card.

NO FLAKERS please

New artists to ATC's are welcome, however, I reserve the right to dismiss anyone with unexplained or recent 1's and 3's.

I hope you enjoy this series.

All her books were the same theme really. Read three and you've read them all.

I loved these books, and like you guys said, read a few and you will know the plot of all the rest. I have all of the books so far!!!! This will be an interesting series.

link to the wikipedia page. The underscores in the URL do weird things on SB.

I <3 VC ANDREWS. Petals on the wind one of my favorites.

So-o-o, @ThESwEeTiE do I 'have' to make a sad, or dark ATC, or just something that suggests the title?

Rainsembellishments 06/21/2013 #

Wow! I just came back across these books about a month ago.

ThESwEeTiE 06/21/2013 #

Seeing as many people prefer not to make 'dark or sad' ATC's, how about, for those who would prefer... just do one that is suggested by the name of the book?? They could be the most beautiful ATC's dont you think?

@user2637 thank you so much for the link, I really dont know how to do that :D

I loved the whole series and couldnt put it down... it enthralled me!! but I do appreciate that people have different tastes.. which is why you have the choice to either join or not to.. of course, I would love as many people in the swap as we can get... but, as I said before.. I will leave the execution of the ATC content up to you C:

Thank you all for the lively comments here :D
