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

Hi, Everyone. I want to thank all of you for thinking and praying for my family. I appreciate all your notes, emails, and cards. I am taking one day at a time, one moment at a time, but I know I will make it through this with my Savior right here with me. Thank you for being friends and Farmgirl Sisters.

Hi farmsisters. It is with a sad and heavy heart to share this with you. Joan's husband passed. She wrote me and asked to pass this information on to her swap partners to let them know why she's late with her swaps. Please keep her in your heart & prayers. Thanks for caring and understanding!

Wanda Sue, your ATC arrived yesterday, I just love the donkey you drew, he is so cute! Wanda Sue writes that the donkeys are guardians of the pasture. He has a very important job watching over horses and cows to keep the coyotes and other predators away.
I just love them they are so much fun too.
Thank you Wanda Sue and I was so happy to have you as a swap partner again too. ATC swaps are so fun.
Thank you Dianna for always being a great and fun hostess.
Have a Beautiful and Blessed Weekend.
Big Hugs,
Debbie

Lady is a beautiful dog, what a pretty face!
Dianna, no pigs aren’t my favorite except for some , I wanted to do goats but my mind as you see went everywhere else.
I definitely took pictures, I liked her so much!
I am glad you liked it!
One of a kind that one is!
I got your package today and thanks for everything. Nice job you did with the painting, love it and the books and coloring page.
I love those little sheep and chickens. Great swap! Lots of fun!
I love it!

Hello Everyone I would like to introduce Lady, Terri Reynolds farm dog. Isn’t she such a cutie!
Terri writes that Lady was ready to pose for her picture, she is full of energy and always ready.
Lady is a Collie/Blue Heeler, she is 2 years old and her favorite toy is her tennis ball, favorite game is fetch, chasing cats ( Hee Hee) and tag.
Her favorite friends are Terri and Judy, which I believe is Terri’s Mom. Terri thank you so much for being my partner and sharing Lady with us, she is a doll!
Thank you too for the Apple Cider and Lemonade packet.
 
Big Hugs,
Debbie

I looked at your ATC and wondered where you were going with the Raven. Then, I read your note and remembered all farms are not the same. Thank you so much, a cute card with a lovely note, a handsome raven and Pumpkin spice tea. It must be fall y'all. What a wonderful swap. Thanks so much.
