SWAN LAKE, ATC Swap, Due Sept 15

Lalka said:
SWAP DUE DATE: September 15, 2024,
SWAP SIGN-UP DEADLINE: None, as long as I receive cards BY DUE DATE
WITHDRAWAL DEADLINE: None, but please have the courtesy to communicate
TRADE RATIO: 3 ATCs submitted for 3 ATCs returned to you
NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS: 12 only

MEDIA:
Mixed Media Collage, not just paper collage (“mixed” = use at least 2 art media (fibers, chalk, inks, acrylics, etc.) combined with those yummy paper collage bits we all love.

ABOUT THE THEME:
For decades (plus!) dance junkies have been thrilled to watch creative interpretations of the full length feature ballet known as Swan Lake. If you search online, you will find the story plot, pictures of costumes, and overall wow! In general, all the action and intrigue happens among a gathering of swans in their lake habitat.
For this swap, you will be creating 3 ATC’s depicting ballerinas AND/OR just actual swan birds.
Traditionally, the swans are represented by ballerinas in white (or black) costumes, but follow your muse for this swap!!!

SOME EXTRA GUIDELINES:
  • Each ATC should be in its own plastic sleeve
  • On the back of your ATC, please include: your real name, your user name, the swap name, and your location on this big blue marble we call the world!
  • Please avoid bulky/heavy embellishments (they crush your lovely artwork and inflate postage costs)
  • 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" dimensions only
  • A host card is always very much appreciated, but not required to play along
MAILING INFO:
  • I will provide return envelopes… so include your mailing info on a piece of paper!
  • Please provide a postage stamp to cover cost
  • International Players: Please send one global forever stamp, or a well concealed $1 bill (USD)
Reputation will be given to each player when their cards are received by me.
Please remember to be kind… leave some love for the the artists whose cards you receive.
Feel free to ask questions here in this thread or by private message.

May I please join? Here are my first two cards, Odile is painted in acrylics and Odette is painted in watercolors. Also included are gold pen, Micron pen, black crepe paper tutu and white paper lace tutu, with touches of gold glitter glue and silver glitter glue.IMG_1207.jpegIMG_1206.jpeg
 
My last two cards: used on the cards were watercolors, acrylics, gold and silver glitter glue, black and white tissue paper tutus, collaged flowers. White swan was overpainted with thinned pearlescent acrylic for a misty look. Ballerina was not overpainted.IMG_1213.jpegIMG_1212.jpeg
 
Wow! IridescentSiren and CiciCreates, you put such care and effort into your work. The results are fantastic. Thanks for showing pics and sharing process tips!
 
My cards went in the mail yesterday, the 4th. Hope I’ve allowed enough time for them to reach you!
 
So I think all artists who wanted to participate have sent their cards and we are ready to lower the curtain on this production! Ladies, take a bow!!!
I will be assembling return envelopes and hope to get them to the P.O. early this week. Thanks, everyone, for making my first attempt at hostessing a lot of fun!!!
