Today, we are excited to announce our second art exchange. This one will be an Artist Trading Card (ATC) project, with the theme Childhood Stories.
Our first exchange (a fatbook) opened up our world to some amazing artists. We had a wonderful time sharing stories, deadlines, and eventually finished pieces. If you haven't had a chance to walk through our fatbook, you can see it here.
To play along in the ATC exchange just go to the 2010 ATC Group in our tribe and join the group. NOTE: Our tribe is on the Ning Network, you will need an account (it's free!) with Ning to join.
The Details....
- You need to sign up by February 15th
- You will create a certain number of ATCs (number is determined by how many people participate, we will know this by February 16)
- When your ATCs are done, package them up and send them to us by March 15th (we will provide an address to those in the ATC group)
- We will compile the ATCs from all of the artists and then send you an ATC from each artist. We will also be making a fun holder/stand to help display all of that gorgeous art! All of this will be shipped back to you the first part of April.
- There is no fee to participate in this exchange. You will of course have the cost of your supplies and the postage to send us your ATCs. We take care of shipping the finished ATC collection back to you.
What materials are used for ATCs? Anything you want (that isn't harmful, toxic, or breakable).
See some examples...
What kind of art is included? Anything goes: Scrap pages, printed digital art, mixed-media of all sorts, wax, canvas, etc.
What size are the ATCs? 2 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches (6cm X 9cm) (these will not be bound, so use up all of that space for your yummy art!)
How long to complete the ATCs? Your ATCs need to be sent to us no later than March 15th
We are looking forward to exchanging art with another wonderful group of creative souls. During our first exchange, we shared glimpses of the finished pages as they came in. It was a taunt really, we didn't give you much to see. Be forewarned, Liz's evil laugh may make a return visit as we share little bits of the ATCs.
Let the fun begin!
