Welcome to the Farmgirls ATC Swap!
Spring is right around the corner and March 12th is "National Plant a Flower Day" so for the month of March 2019 lets have an ATC swap with the theme "SPRING FLOWERS". 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.
CLOSED - Partners have been posted! Signups are open thru March 6th. Partners will be posted on March 7th. Mail out deadline will be March 23rd.
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

Welcome Marie!
Good luck with your new idea Darlene. I'm sure it will work out just fine! I haven't even started thinking about mine yet so I guess I should get on the ball pretty soon!

Welcome Marilyn!
I hope everyone is having lots of fun creating their Spring flower ATC's! I recently bought a Bluprint subscription (formerly Craftsy) in an effort to learn shuttle tatting.......but I have since gotten DISTRACTED by all kinds of other inspiring art videos. One idea popped up for some creative ways of upcycling old journal pages. It inspired me to get creative with the pages of "good" doodles from my painting practice notebooks. I also learned some new techniques for gluing down trim so this month's ATC has been a super fun creation! Now...back to the tatting video
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

I know what you mean about the tutorial videos Marilyn. I've watched some really fun ones
and it's such an easy way to learn new techniques and it's free, doesn't get better than that.
The hardest part of making this month's "spring flowers" theme was narrowing it down, as
there were so many possibilities. Can't wait to see everyone's inspiring creations!

I received the most beautiful ATC from Marilyn yesterday. It has a Norwegian tole painted
flower on it. So delicate looking and sweet trim around the edges and the words "For joy
plant flowers"...I sure agree with that Marilyn, I love gardening. It's just beautiful and I
asked her to post a picture of it for me since I'm not able to. Thanks so much Marilyn and
I'm glad I was your partner for this month. She also made a darling matching notecard in
blue tole painting.
Went into the po box yesterday and by late afternoon and evening we were having a very
strong wind and rain storm and lost power for several hours so no computer either. Right
now it seems to be hail mixed with rain. Crazy weather this month of March.
