Hello all you amazing miniature artists farmsisters!
I've loved loved creating these little tropical pieces of art! It's been fun! I hope you have too! Lots of variations in creativity so I'm looking forward to seeing your art !
We have an even number of people so we have partners this time. They are as follows:
Rebecca & Jill
Darlene & Patsy
Joan & Amy
Jill Skane & Marilyn
Terri & Dianna
Jami & Kelly
As always, please make contact with your partner and mail off soon. Please post that you've received your swap, ok?
Hope you are all well, staying cool and healthy! I think next month we will do vintage camping, hows does that sound?? Have a blessed weekend!
Can you believe it's the middle of the year already??? I must admit with the events of 2020 so far life has been a blur!
I dont know about you all but how very much I'd like to take a far away trip to the tropics somewhere!! Just for a few days even!
So, for our swap this month how about creating a tropical getaway theme??
Sign ups until the 17th, partners assigned on the 18th and mail off date is the 22.
Let's all take a mental creative vaca together!! :) Use and medium, guidelines are as follows for newbies joining in!! Have fun!!![]()
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.

Hi Dianna,
This sounds so fun-- please sign me up!
I have been meaning to sign up for this since I first came across it. I've never done it before, but it sounds like a good opportunity to get back into art, without the time commitment of a huge canvas to fill and the ongoing debate about whether to keep putting all supplies etc away or just leaving all the art clutter out during the "in progress" phase (yes, I'm someone who has quite a few half finished paintings and drawings and collages lying around!)... so yeah, thanks for organizing this!

Hey Joan,
It's not very special actually. Someone gave us 100$ for a housewarming gift and we saw this cabinet for 100 and bought it. I had HIGH HOPES of refurbishing it but dh wanted it to stay natural. Just your basic cc. I've got my polish pottery, treasures from Africa, German crystal and art people have made me! Lol! No china!!!
