Make Note:
CARDS NEED TO BE TO ME EITHER ON OR BEFORE July 18th. Late ATCs--regardless of the reason--will result in a neutral iTrader.
No ATCs- will result in a negative iTrader not only from me, the host, but also from your fellow artists in your group(s).
When you are ready to mail your ATCs, please just private message me for my address ( I am in Seabeck Wa., USA).
Feedback will be given when all cards have been received and mailed to the participants

Definitions:
Easy Theme- an easy subject
Advanced Theme - a difficult subject that needs research

Themes: #2 your pet (or fav animal) Andy Warhol style and #4 DADA collage (more bizzare the better)
I did a quick portrait of my Jack Russell just using a string on cardboard stamp that I colored in various ways. I bet there's ways to do a tiny screen print or modge podge transfer or something else 🤩 amazing.IMG_20260518_164134458.jpg

Please sign me up for Group 1 - Bird(s) in a birdbath (realistic or whimsical). And a question about Gr. 7 - Do we choose a color AND a theme, or just a color?
 
Your note says cards have to be with your by the 1st, but the top of the swap says sign up by the 1st, to you by the 18th, fyi.

This turn around time is a little too tight for me, unfortunately. I nearly gave myself a stress ulcer making the one month gap 🤣. I’ll keep an eye and see if I can join if any look like they will fill early.

I think our brains work in similar ways. These were my exact thoughts. I'd love to sign up, but it took almost 4 weeks to send last time and "neutral feedback regardless of reason" gave me so much anxiety.
 
Buuut the themes in group 2 inspire me, so please sign me up for group 2 (theme pending) and hope it fills up fast! (@Amai , you wanna join?)
If one more person signs up, and then you and I signing up would fill it - absolutely I would join group two. I am trying to catch last spots so I can send my cards well before that sign up day. I’ll be checking in, but let me know if you see it, and I’ll join with you!
 
Group 3 theme to be announced, please....

Groups 3 and 4, please -- themes to follow

I completely understand, i tried to stretch the date out, giving us an 8 week turn around, i can extend it depending on how long it takes for the groups to fill and I have changed the sign up by date too

Ooh, 8 week turn around! I am in! Please sign me up for group 2 (i was going to pick a different one for a change but then the themes so far were too good!) and group 7, which is the one I was too slow for last time!

Group 2: medieval person (any random or specific is fine, vibes rather than historical accuracy is fine) with optional in stain glass style or not. (Is that too many words for a theme - TLDR: medieval person :) )
Group 7: Green ~ dragon.

Thank you!
