TRASH TO TREASURE SWAP 2025, a Tribute to CastleQueen5
Mixed media and collage.
Please no glitter.
Heather Farah (CastleQueen5) will be missed. She hosted many swaps and she created the Trash 2 Treasure swaps with lots of challenging items to spark everyone’s creativity. Sometimes the swaps were house-shaped, coins or other shapes. Some of the interesting “trash” items included were puzzle pieces, paint chips, mad-gabs, bingo cards, and totally tacky items.
This swap is presented to everyone as a celebration of CastleQueen5.
Each envelope of trash will have a variety of items. Some items will be the same type but slightly different.
ATCs need to be 2 1/2” by 3 1/2” on a sturdy base.
The only requirement is to use one piece of trash on each card.
Use of a piece of trash includes altering the trash: cut, rip, tear, paint, sand, or spray anything with ink, etc. You can use trash items as a tool, cut a shape and make a print, use the item as a stencil or mask, or use an item to apply paint or ink.
On the back of your card include your AFA username and real name.
