Swap Due Date - Monday, October 19
Signup/withdraw date - None, but please communicate
Number of Cards - 3 for 3
Number of participants - 30-ish
Medium - Open Media
Join us as we create Halloween-themed ATCs that celebrate the creatures and creepers that make this time of year spooktacular!
--- Please read through ALL of the rules. By signing up for the swap, you’ll be expected to follow them. ---
Making the Art:
- Create original, standard-size ATC's (2.5 x 3.5 inches,) made sturdy and mostly flat.
- Feature art celebrating Halloween. Include at least one character/creature on each card. All Halloween-time themes are welcome: from Frankenstein to Freddy Krueger, The Bride to black cats, Witches, Horseman, Trick-or-treaters, skeletons, goblins, and all creepers in between. Just keep it on the lighter side (nothing overly bloody, evil or disturbing.)
- Open media: Hand-drawn/painted, collage, or a combination of techniques.
- Trim and alter images to make them your own. Dig deeper than just gluing down un-edited, thick-edge images. No white-edged stickers, googley eyes or cutesy kid’s crafts. We're looking for ART here.
- 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.
- Secure your cards. Using removable tape like washi or painter’s tape to adhere the art flatly together inside the envelope is recommended. Postal machines can wreak havoc on envelopes. Consider taping the outer edges of your envelope for mailing.
- All Players: Send your address on a large mailing label or piece of paper and I’ll provide return envelopes.
- US Players: Please include 1-2 forever stamps.
- Int’l Players: I’ll cover your postage.
- Send a direct message for my address (still in Costa Mesa.)
Other Details:
- Please SIGN UP by posting in the thread.
- 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.
