Hi farmsisters!! Hopefully by now your weather has cooled a bit and you see or have seen color changes in your area? Ours is JUST beginning to cool a bit coming this week but the leaves down south where I'm from are mainly just browning right up. It's ok, Sara and I are taking 3 days this week to head north to see some fall colors! I'm so thankful for that!
Speaking of thankful, it's our theme for November! Anything really that evokes thankful hearts! Or of course whatever you fancy creating!
Sign ups are until the 15th, partners assigned the 16th and mail out as soon as possible please.
Remember the guidelines:
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). Alternately you may choose to use a round ATC Coin of 2.5" diameter. 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!
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.
I am very thankful for each and every one of you creative farmsisters and especially for MaryJane who created this wonderful uplifting forum!

Posted - Jan 09 2021 : 7:46:56 PM I sent out Nov swap items and my Dec, but our mail lady messed so many things up over the holidays !!! I haven't heard anyone getting mine or seen them posted. I only got 2 ...1 from Nik and 1 from Deanna. I apologize whole-heartily if my partners haven't gotten what I sent ! If ya want me to send another one, let me know. I'd NEVER want to disappoint any of ya or cause a partner to be missing out. I have decided to also wait out this month on any swaps to make sure our mail is back to normal. I just got 3 of our Christmas gifts last week that were ordered in end of November........NOT HAPPY ! lol God Bless and let me know if ya didn't get from me and want me to re-do for ya hugs Jami
