Welcome, Nancy.

 

[nanner]

I have officially started my first Frida for the swap.

 

[NancyL]

I have some Frida postage stamps coming. I was thinking of ways to make my cards before i went to sleep and I had a dream of that---thinking of ways to make these cards.

 

[nanner]

Those sound like some Sweet Dreams, if you ask me. I do that too, sometimes...continue thinking of something in dreams that I was contemplating during waking hours. The mind is an amazing thing. Frida postage stamps sound perfect!

Welcome Frida Fans! So glad you "found" us.

 

[nanner]

Here is my first Frida for the swap. Based on a cool black-and-white photo of Frida in her 20's. So, I imagined some colors for her look. I dig how she has a tailored vibe in this.

- Feature Frida: include her likeness on each card.
- Open theme: in your style, Frida’s or whatever inspires you.
- Open media: Hand-drawn/painted, collage, or a combination of techniques.
- Printed images of Frida are A-ok, but make each image your own by altering it in some way.
- No white-edged stickers, no white backgrounds, no fully-digital art.
- Sign the back of each card.
- Please take your time and send your best work.
- The swap is 3 for 3. A host card, extra postage or even a note is always appreciated.

Mailing the Art:
- Send each card in individual ATC/penny sleeves.
- All Players: Send your address on a large mailing label and I’ll provide return envelopes.
- US Players: Please include 1-2 forever stamps.
- Int’l Players: I’ll cover your postage.
- Send a conversation message for my address (still in Costa Mesa.)

Other Details:

- Show and tell: We’d love to see your creations, so posting pics of your art in the thread is highly encouraged.
- Communicate: There isn’t a deadline for sign-ups or withdrawals, but players who disappear may receive neutral feedback.
- Once you receive your RETURNS, 1) please post in the thread and acknowledge the players’ whose art you have received and 2) leave FEEDBACK for nanner/your host.
