HAPPY NEW YEAR 2018 everyone!!!!
Time for our next ATC swap and I can NOT WAIT! Jumping into 2018 I was watching the awesome Tournament of Roses parade and was so inspired by their theme for the year "Making a Difference"! So I thought that instead of doing a wintery scene (are you tired of the cold weather yet?) let's do something INSPIRATIONAL!!! SO, how about creating a card depicting what YOU interpret as making a difference in someone's life, community, church or family! If this isn't such a good idea LET ME KNOW and we can CHANGE the theme k??? I am a big girl open to any suggestions! Who wouldn't be open to so many talented creative women???
So the last day for sign up is the 15th of January, partners will be posted January 16th and the send off date is January 25th!
JIC we get some new sign ups the following info will help:
any type of medium you want to use (AND SHAPE) as long as the card is standard size of 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 heavy cardstock or prepared cardboard from cereal boxes and such. You may sew, paint, mix media, fiber, etc. for your trade. Be sure to sign the backs and title it and date it! As always, have fun!
Again, if you are new to ATC's here is a brief description:
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) is a conceptual art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vänçi Stirnemann in 1997. He called it a Collaborative Cultural Performance. Artist Trading Cards are 2 1#8260;2 by 3 1#8260;2 inches (64 mm × 89 mm) in size, 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.[1]
Happy creating and may you have the most awesome inspirational 2018 and make a positive difference in your life and someone else's this year! Have fun!!!
