Animals Of The World: AFRICA/ATCs/Open Medium/Due date: 2/7/2024

This will be the last installment of our Animals Of The World series. The region we are going to be working on last is Africa. Some of the featured animals of Africa are: Mountain Gorilla, Mandrill, African Elephant, Lion, Plains Zebra,Ring Tailed Lemur, Ostrich & Giraffe. Of course, it is not just limited to those animals but you must choose animals that are known to that country/set of countries. You will be making three ATCs with a featured animal on it. Each ATC MUST be different. You can add lots of layers & elements if you'd like but be sure to send an extra postage for each ATC that you send in for the swap to cover for your ATCs going to the other artists.. Stickers can be used very lightly & definitely not as the focal point.

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.

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. 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.

I want to thank everyone that has made it to this last installment. It was fun getting to explore different animals with you & there was some amazing artwork to boot. I may do this again at another time in the future just to get some different animals going on. If you have any comments or suggestions; I'd be happy to hear them. Take care & thanks for participating!!

me, me, me! jumping up and down in the background I love these animals and could probably send you a stamped set, a die cut set and a mixed media set of 3.
I will try to contain my enthusiasm and only send you 1 set of 4 - now. . . which ones do I like best? . .
 
I’m trying to narrow down animals.
Do you want only one animal per card? For instance, if each card has 2-3 animals, but I’m not repeating those animals, ie there’s only one elephant, does that work?

I can do either way, but wanted some clarity.
 
I would like to join. Here are my critters. I will send them off tomorrow.

Dromedary Camel (Camelus dromedarius) - The one-humped camel is also known as the Arabian camel. This camel is not found in the wild. They are found in North Africa and sub-Saharan Africa.

African Buffalo ( Syncerus caffer) - The African Buffalo lives in the sub-Sahara. They live in dense forests to open plains. They are usually 4 - 5 feet tall but the size may vary greatly.

Mountain Gorilla (Gorilla beringeri) - Mountain gorillas live at elevations of 8000 - 13000 feet. They live in the Congo Basin. Their status is endangered.

Hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) - The hippo is found in West and East Central Africa. It prefers rivers and lakes in grasslands. It is found mainly in large populations on preserves.

CynthisSillitoe, Personally, when I get ATCs I prefer just one animal on the ATC but that is just me. You are free to do either, but try to shake the animals up so that there are not the same ones on each ATC.

Nice, Jo. That is kind of weird to know that the African Buffalo is about as tall as I am!!
