All Dressed Up/ATCs/Open Media/Due date: February 4th

So, for this swap we are going to think fashion!! You will pick a time period from 1800's to current times & then make three ATCs of clothes from that time period. Be creative; no imagines thrown on an otherwise blank back ground. If you send something with bling on it that is going to be bumpy; then you need to send extra postage so that your ATCs will get to their new partners. I am going to be firm about this as the post office is getting more & more picky about what goes through the mail. If you pick the 60's as your time period then all of your ATCs should depict the 60's.

NITTY GRITTY:

For the most part I swap media for media. If you do HD/HP you will more than likely receive the same back. Same for collage/mixed media. All ATCs need to be put in to sleeves to protect them from the elements. Sometimes there are only a few ATCs in certain medias; if that happens you will receive random media ATCs in return. Stickers can only be used very minimally.

To send your swaps please write the name of the swap on the outside of the envelope. Send a self addressed envelope with at least as much postage as it took to send your swaps to me. This is how you will receive your returns. International players will need to send a forever stamp to get their swaps back or two one dollar bills. I also have Pay Pal address, as well. International swappers please also send a large label with your name & address on it. I will provide the envelopes for international swappers. All other swappers need to provide their own envelopes. I am really recommending that everyone send their swaps in a business size envelope. They are approximately 9 1/2 x 4 1/4. These seem to go through the mail better than the smaller sized envelopes. The mail in WA state tends to run slow since it has to go to so many places so please don't wait until the last minute to send your swaps. Late swaps will be returned to the sender with possible neutral feedback. If you do send heavy or thick ATCs please be courteous & send extra postage to help make sure they get to the partners they need to go to. Mail is going up so please make sure you are putting proper postage on your swaps, regardless. Please do not go over-board on taping your envelope or using washi. They are the two worst things to have to deal with regarding my arthritis. Thank you, I appreciate it. You can hardly ever go wrong with painter's tape.:adoration:

It is always fun to see what people are coming up with so please feel free to post your ATCs to the thread. Once I have received your ATCs (on time) I will leave feedback for you.

Once you have received your returns please let me know if I have done a good job or not by leaving feedback, as well, A host ATC is always appreciated but not expected. If you have any questions at all about the swap please feel free to contact me or ask in the thread.

Collette, this swap was made for me! (Have you been inside my head? Or maybe my bookshelves?). I have been an enthusiastic student of period fashion for years now. This will be great fun, please sign me up!
 
Cicicreates, I have always loved time period fashions. Some time periods are more exciting than others but it is still fun to go down memory lane & see what the hot new fads were:adoration:
 
Sandra, don’t lurk too long, I love your art and it would be great to see what you would do here.
 
Esta, I see part of a little ad for Camay soap. I still remember the TV commercial song….” To you, beautiful lady, use pink Camay….”etc. Thanks for the memory!
