Description:

This is an ATC swap with a theme of mixed media collage. I define mixed media as a paper collage plus at least one other element such as paint, ink, fiber, embellishment(s) or any other non-paper art material that you can think of.

You may make your ATCs in any style or theme as you choose. This is wide open for interpretation, just use paper collage and at least one other art material to make your creation.

Artist Trading Cards must be 3.5 x 2.5 inches in size. The ATCs will be originals, no photocopies allowed.

You will make 3 ATCs for 2 partners, send each partner 3 ATCs, for a total of 6 ATCs for this swap.

Swappers must have a rating of 4.5 to take part although newbies are welcome.

I have had way too many "no sends" lately so I am updating the minimum rating to 4.5. Anyone with a a no send to any of the swaps I host will be banned as well. It is not fair to not send your swaps as per the rules.

The "send by" date is the date the swap must be postmarked not the date it must be received by.

Per the Swap-bot guidelines, those who follow the swap rules should be given a rating of 5, those who send but don't follow the rules should get a 3 (I take that as late by the postmark) and those who send nothing should be rated a 1.

This is an international swap.

Thanks for playing!

Hi everyone, I am glad we have so many people interested in this swap. I just updated the guidelines to be more strict about who can play, 4.5 rating is the new minimum.

I joined Swap-bot in October and am surprised at the number of 'no sends'. I have been on the losing end of the stick for that and it doesn't feel good and it is not in the spirit of swapping to do that to another person.

Anyone who does a 'no send' on any of my hosted swaps will be banned from all other swaps that I host now or in the future.

I don't know what else to do to try to encourage people to follow through on their committments.

Remember that you can drop out of a swap at any time before the signup date occurs if you get busy, life gets in the way or whatever.

Lastly another way to organize your swaps is to read the swaps first, get ideas, make the ATCs, then after they are done, to offically sign up, then they are done way ahead of time and you can sit back and relax knowing your committment is fulfilled.

Sorry to talk about bad news today.

I hope everyone has fun making these ATCs. ENJOY!

Late to say this, sorry...Everyone should be able to view their partners now. Thanks for playing in this swap. I hope everyone enjoys the process of creating your ATCs.

There are no participants with ratings at 4.5 or lower. Newbies were welcome.

Thanks!

Francis I am glad they arrived, I sent them out on 2/02/07 so to get to you in the Netherlands in 4 days is amazing. I wanted to get yours into the mail ASAP since they were going overseas.

Chickadee yours are packed up and going out today from me in CT USA to you in MI USA. I hope you like them.

Mine are in the mail as of tomorrow AM (well, today AM, actually)- for both partners- I drew international partners, so they might take a few extra days to get there! (crossing fingers for speedy and safe delivery!)

Eliza thank you your cards have arrived this morning.A word of caution Eliza please check the size of your playing cards as they are not ATC size.
