Description: | |
Since izohgore's descriptions are so well done I will be using portions of her phrasings here and there. It's been a while since the last free-theme printmaking ATC swap here so I thought I would host one. Since printmaking usually involves multiples of the same image we are going to have 5 partners--as this is a sender's choice swap you can send prints of the same image to all five partners, if you wish. You are also welcome to make all five completely different. Sender's choice! Artist Trading Cards are 2.5 by 3.5 inches. This swap is for a new printmaking ATCs for printmaking artists. Sorry, no prefab stamps please, all blocks/stamps or plates must be handcarved/etched & designed by each participating artist. Printmaking techniques include silkscreening, stencilling, block printing and other relief printing, intaglio printing, and monotype Printing may include but, does not exclude, rubber or linoleum, plastic, metal, wood, or foam. Use waterproof/permanent inks or protective fixative/seal for water soluble inks (reminder, these must withstand postal delivery to your partners). You may like to illustrate, paint, or color your prints to enhance the front & backside of the cards (depending on the printing method you choose to use & artistic preference), freedom of expression, creativity, technique, & style is up to the artist (sender). The design direction & print is the artist's (sender's) choice. Make something you would be proud to trade, add to your mail art collection, or matte & frame. Note: These projects may be made from the same stencil, block, plate, etc. These may be identical or you may like to decorate these differently, different colors, you may like to add acrylic painting, ink wash, watercolored background, or add illustrations, etc. etc. Freedom of creativity is up to each artist (sender). Rating of at least 4.9, suspicious swappers will be reported to group founder. I can angel if I must but don't flake. |
