Atcs with Texture - Due December 5

[NancyL]

Today is my husband's birthday. Last year he had a little party. This year I treated his brother to lunch. The day went easier than expected. (He died in May, 2025)

So I began work on November prompt cards. I'm using rickrack for my zig zags. I found some pink and then did some looking in the garage where I have some mixed media stuff and found black rick rack. They are both the very small kind. They would also work as texture. Also thought of using punchinella (sequin waste) on these textured cards. I usually use my punchinela as stencils but I could spare some to put on these cards.

Posting my attempts! Tissue paper/modpodge, glue for raised details, and some embroidery thread. I can't wait to see what everyone creates!

My cards wil probably be abstract.

Swap Due Date - Friday Dec 5th
Signup/withdraw date -
Number of Cards - 3 for 3 or 6 for 6
Number of participants - unlimited
Medium: open but must have texture
Theme-open

For this swap, you can use paint, collage, rubber stamps etc. However, each card must have some sort of texture. When you touch your card, you have to feel something rough or soft, or bumpy.You can make representational art or abstract. Some items you might put on your card before paint or after paint is applied: flour, sugar, salt & pepper, baking powder, sand, wallpaper paste, shredded paper, sawdust, coffee grounds. I want to try uncooked coffee. If you are making paper art, you could make designs with white glue, sandpaper, corrugated cardboard, layers of a heavy paper. What else? You can add fabric pieces. Moleskin. Experiment! Please no metal or "jewels" or glitter.

Other Information- Your cards should be 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches. They should be wearing plastic or cellophane sleeves. If your cards are floppy back them with at least cardstock.
Mail them either with a holder or tape them together. Painters tape and washi tapes are good. Scotch tape is bad. It can destroy the sleeves.
Put at least your user name, location, date you made the card and swap name on the back of your cards. All cards should be different.

Mailing information - Everyone send a label or piece of paper with your mailing address. I will provide envelopes. If you send one, I will not use it.
US players send 1 or 2 forever stamps. I had to add another stamps to 2 envelopes in my most recent swap.
International players - I will provide postage. I have a whole page of global stamps.
Mail sooner rather than later.

Done lurking, please add me

 

[NancyL]

wed the 29th, I will be online only before 10 am. And then gone until the following Friday. I am having a medical procedure on my face and must avoid light from Tv and computers. And also the outside. That might not be a problem as this is Oregon where the bright sun is here not so much when it is not summer.

 

[locatray]

May I join? TY!

 

[NancyL]

Of course.

 

[DevaR]

I am ready to send

 

[NancyL]

I am ready to receive. For a few days I have someone else who will walk across the street to get mail.

 

[locatray]

Mailing tomorrow! Loved this theme. TY for hosting.
