CHINESE NEW YEAR -- Year of the Horse~Due February 12, 2026
- Thread starter Vicki Z
- Start date
Just spent way too long getting right into crafting myself mixed media entries for this swap (always take me longer than just drawing) and then realized I have never signed up, so uh, can I please be added?

Welcome Amai.
I signed you up.
Just to clarify, you can draw your ATCs.
The rules say all media is welcome. That does NOT mean only mixed media is allowed.
drawing is easier/faster for you, hand drawn cards are fine.
Just so you know, I also cannot guarantee you will get all hand drawn cards in return, as it depends on what ATCs I receive.

Thank you for clarifying. It’s one of the struggles of written text, where tone is lost. My original plan was to draw them, but then I got too excited by another idea and crafted instead and got very into the process. Looking at it, I can see my comment could be read as complaint when in my head, it’s unhinged excitement.

Insomnia is keeping me awake, so I decided to be productive and get my cards done. I've never drawn a horse before this. The legs definitely gave me a hard time on these for the year of the Fire Horse. Done in watercolors with metallic accents.

Going in the mail today:
These are my first crack at ATC+ suprise! I have received some that unfold and stand up and have hidden bits, and I have loved them but this is first time I have had an idea for one.
They are regular ATC shape and size in their collapsed state though, and do fit in a sleeve:

My cards are in the mail!
My fire horses are on their way today - the 2nd card uses the simplified character for 'ma' (horse) while the 3rd card uses the traditional character for 'ma'. Something that intrigued me is that the 4 marks at the bottom of the traditional character are normally associated with 'fire' - upon researching I discovered that all the zodiac animals are matched with an element of their own, regardless of which year in the 60-year cycle they are in, and the horse has 'fire' as its natural element.
