Wonderful Butterflies Swap!


Our friend Esmee caught the 'butterfly fever' and now she has a lovely butterfly garden! These ATCs and ATC envelopes were all made by her!






Even though we accidentally got our meeting time wrong we still managed to swap out some beautiful butterfly ATCs.



And here are a few made by Gwyenth.
Next month our swap will be MERMAIDS!!
Come and join the fun!
Cheers!

Fletcher Library, Little Rock, AR. Has a new Artist Trading Cards Swap group starting up!!


FLETCHER LIBRARY

Little Rock, Arkansas
ddevlin@cals.org

What You Can Expect


1. An “Artist Trading Card” is a miniature art piece made on 2½ x 3½ pieces of card stock. These are the same size as a baseball trading card.


2. Each artist designs their own card from any art medium they choose such as stamping, painting, photography, stencils, magazine picture collage or anything that your imagination dreams up.


3. On the back of the card is the name of the “round,” date and the name of the artist as well as where they are from and they can be numbered if you wish.


4. The cards are traded among other artists and never sold.


5. Each month I will email everyone at the beginning of the month. I will tell you the theme, the date and time of the swap at Fletcher. If you can not make it to the swap and you still want to swap you can mail your cards to me WITH a self addressed stamped return envelope, I will swap them out for you and mail your swaps back to you.


6. Each round has a given theme to create your card around.


7. Your cards can be all the same, similar in design or each one completely different from the others.


8. We will post photos of our artist's ATC here. Send photos of your art to : Fletcher.flights.of.fantasy@gmail.com to be posted!
