Skill Level: #2 Budding

Sign up by June 20th

Cards IN HAND July 8th

Hosted by Debra Claxton

I hope you will join in this fun fantasy swap! All mixed media artists & paper crafters are welcome - beginning through advanced. Please make 3 ATCs that have a mermaid (or mer-person) on the card. Your mermaid must have a movable tail. If the tail extends beyond the 2.5 X 3.5 card size, then it should fold up so your card will fit in an ATC sleeve. Other body parts can be movable too - your choice. Enjoy using any of your favorite mixed media techniques!

Here are some inspirational samples, (even though not all have movable tails).

Details:

Please include a return address label (I will supply envelopes)

Enclose $1 return postage for flat cards (standard brads are considered “flat” enough)

Enclose $2 if using embellishments thicker than a brad 

International players may send ephemera, an international stamp, Euros, or use PayPal. Please allow ample mailing time!

Skill Level: 2) BUDDING - Participants will be open to trying new ideas and materials, without necessarily being competent yet with their applications. Swap Hosts are encouraged to add the requirement of a technique or process such as creating texture, using crackle paint, doing photo transfers, painting with watercolor, etc.
