Welcome to the Farmgirls ATC Swap!
The sun is shining, flowering trees are in bloom and the bumblebees are busy buzzin about! Doesn't it just make you want to go outside and play in the dirt? May 19th is Plant a Garden Day so for the month of May 2019 lets have an ATC swap with the theme "PLANT A GARDEN". Make one ATC card for your partner using any colors or mediums that you wish. Be creative, try something new, and most of all have fun! Of course if this theme doesn't suit you feel free to create something that you like instead.
Signups are open thru May 12th. Partners will be posted on May 13th. Mail out deadline will be May 31st.
If you have any fun ideas or suggestions for swaps or themes please share so we can keep this swap fresh and exciting for all to enjoy.
For those who are new to ATC Cards here is what it's all about:
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5". Artist Trading Cards are the same format as modern trading cards (hockey cards or baseball cards). They are self-made unique works or small series, signed and dated on the reverse by the artist/producer, exchanged and collected by the people who participate in the collaborative performance.
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are a conceptual art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann. He called it a Collaborative Cultural Performance. In 1997 he created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world as well as right here on Mary Janes Farm!
You can make ATCs with many different media including paper, fabric, felt, metal, wood, clay, paint, stamps, embellishments and more. There are tons of ideas and inspiration available online if you google ATC or Artist Trading Cards.
Happy creating Farmgirls! Thanks for joining this swap!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

Debbie,
I'm so glad your good with the little tidbits and the card. I thought the little print was special for the trading and the card was one of my practice pieces, yes I painted it.

What beautiful ATC's Diana. I am always amazed at your talent and feel so honored to have some of your artwork. I loved the extra goodies as well. I am just finishing up the gardens, so the flowers will be going in tomorrow. Thank you for being my partner. Your package goes out tomorrow.

Hi Dianna,
Tracking is not always right. I am sure it is probably in our mailbox if it shows it was delivered. However, we are out of town until tomorrow. I can't wait to get my mail now knowing I have something special in it. I will post pictures as soon as I do.
