'Gothic' shrine ATC

Launch gallery slideshow

'Gothic' shrine ATC
Swap Coordinator:Alphenquilts (contact)
Swap categories: Artist Trading Card (ATC) 
Number of people in swap:13
Location:International
Type:Type 3: Package or craft
Last day to signup/drop:May 15, 2007
Date items must be sent by:June 15, 2007
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

You will make 3 ATC's for your 2 partners. I have a template of a shrine, if you wish, contact me and I will send you the template. But you can make it yourself easily by cutting the top in a shrine-like way. The measurements are still 2,5x3,5 but with a shrine-like top. See picture.

You can use any medium you want. The shrine doesn't have to be gothic, you can decorate as you like. Gothic is just the shape, like in church windows.

Please check out the profiles of your partners if you want to make your art specially for them, so you know what they like/dislike.

This is an international swap. Newbees are welcome if I can read your profile. No one under 4.0 can participate.

Hi, Alphenstamp. I looked at your picture trail page and really like your art and your ATCs in particular. This looks like a fun swap. I'd appreciate it if you would encourage people to look at their partners' profiles to get an idea of what sort of thing they'd like to see in a shrine; that may seem obvious, but I have been in swaps where people have sent me things that were pretty and pink and lacy and I think, whoa, they must not have looked at my profile at all.

So, that's just a suggestion, anyway. Having the word "gothic" in the name of the swap may keep away people who are into lacy pink things anyway!

Same for me too, I adore icons but am not religeous. Im spiritual and hopefully that comes thru on my profile too! Nice idea, Im in !

Francis, Anything of yours, I am IN!!! This will be something very new to me, but maybe it will jumpstart my creativity a bit, since I've been in a artistic funk/block lately... =+( I'd like a template though, if possible, or maybe there is a site where i could get one? susi , a fan of Alphenstamp's work! YAY Francis!!!!!

I'd like a template too, if you wouldn't mind. :) Joan

Susi 05/ 9/2007 #

I found a template in my computer, I think that it is for ATCs, and if it is, I'll let you all know. I think I got it from lisa Vollrath's Go Make Something site, but I am not sure. susi

Hi, I have a rather foolish newbie question. Is the top of the atc itself to be cut in the gothic shape (thanks for the template by the way!)or is a gothic shape to be attached to the rectangle shape of the act? Thanks for your patience - I'm a slow learner sometimes.

Alphenquilts 05/14/2007 #

Hi GypsySong, the top of the ATC must be cut in the gothic shape. And there are no 'foolish' questions! Only foolish people who don't dare to ask! :-)

I have uploaded a pic of my card to the gallery. I've never made shrine ones before and am really hoping these meet the mark.

I just love the gallery pics............stunning all of you! So clever and having just finished reading 'The Historian' the devilly/gargoyley guys struck a chord!!

Keri (Alleycat) I received my cards this morning and I have to tell you they ARE SIMPLY WONDERFUL!!!!! I just adore them, hope you scanned them to post cos my scanners jiggered and I wont be able to scan them till I get back to work after this sick leave Im on ( small foot op thats all.......brain and fingers working fine lol) Thankyou SO much. I can't stick them in a folder, they HAVE to be framed, us cat-a-holics will understand once they are posted to show. xxx

Susi and Mikkary posted your swaps today from Uk :)

Linie, glad that you liked them, they were so much fun to do. I can't scan anything, I don't even have a computer, I use the computers at my local library branch...something I'm hoping to rectify by the end of summer...I just can't afford anything right now, I'm going through some major dental work, my van is 12 yrs old...the bills keep on coming...so what else is new?

Susi 06/ 8/2007 #

Alphenstamp, your ATCs went postal today. Kimmie, I apparently wrote your zip code down incorrectly, will have to mail tomorrow. susi

joanandemma 07/16/2007 #

Didn't receive from Kimmie and her file has been deleted. But I really liked seeing the uploaded photos and receiving from Alphenstamp! What a talented group we have!

:) Joan
