Time for ATC Speed Swap #16!

This month's theme: Over/Under

Sign-up dates Sept 1st - Sept 15th.

Partner Mailing list announced Sept. 16th.

Skill level – All

Our Over/Under theme will require you to create a colorful first layer on your ATC with paint, markers, gelli plate print, etc. Then you will cover that first layer with a solid color (black, white or any color you choose), leaving an area open that creates, or leaves behind, a shape, figure or word.

Each month on the 1st, we will announce a theme or technique for your ATCs. Anyone interested will have until the 15th to sign up. The list will be randomized, announced on the 16th, and you will mail one ATC directly to each of the next two people on the list. A total of two ATCs each month for the speed swaps. You don't have to sign up every month, just when you feel like it or like the theme or have the time.

We'll have brand new creative excitement each month and this will keep postage for each of us to a minimum as long as you don't make bulky ATCs. But of course that will be your choice. It's approximately $1.20 to mail internationally for one ATC in a note card envelope. You must be able to mail internationally to participate in this swap.

Skill Level: 1) SPROUTING - Geared toward the artist who has recently begun their journey into mixed media, these swaps are open to all group members, regardless of experience. Participation is the key - caring and sharing in the spirit of friendship and fun. Every artist needs to understand that contributors to these projects can be of any level of artistic experience.
