Description:

Inspired by @Autist 's swaps from last year, this series of swaps will be exploring various art techniques.

Who is up for trying out various art techniques? I am hoping that this series of swaps will motivate myself and others to just have fun, make a mess, and enjoy the journey of the art making without fussing about the end result.

I recommend to get started BEFORE partners are assigned. You do not need to check profiles for this swap. Pick colors that you have on hand, that you want to experiment with, that you think will particularly work well with this technique.

Your ATC can just be the result of doing this art technique, or if you wish to embellish it further, go ahead, but it is not required.

Cardstock/watercolor paper is acceptable, if you use thinner paper than that, please mount onto something sturdier. Standard ATC size (2.5" x 3.5") required. Plastic sleeves not required. Most important rule - have fun!!

3 partners - send 1 ATC to each.

Bubble painting!!

This was my favorite technique that I tried when @Autist had hosted the swaps. I like making batches and batches of paper to use for ATCs. Play around with with different paint, different portions, different paper - what works best for you? I will forewarn you - this is MESSY, so plan accordingly so that you can enjoy the mess and not stress.

You need to update the standard ATC size. It's 2.5" x 3.5". I made my backgrounds using the blowing bubbles technique and it was so much fun!

Thank you Amber! I did update this shortly after you mentioned it, and had to correct my other technique challenge swaps as well! I copied and pasted that typo over and over! Hopefully I didn't throw anyone off by it.

All participants rated at least twice. Still only 5/9 rated by all partners.
Please reach out to your partners regarding re-sends.

Please reach out to me if any angeling is needed! I am happy to send as I have plenty of bubble paper to make more ATCs.
