Description:

International swap. Total - 4 ATCs

I will carefully check profiles before I assign partners so please be assured that I will not let anyone join the swap who doesn't fulfil the stated requirements

You will have 2 partners and send each of them 2 ATCs that you have put together from bits cut from magazines.

You can be as imaginative as you like, but please don't just stick the images on any old how. Try and make them 'flow' - as in the example above.

Committed swappers only please. No newbies this time, sorry. Swappers must have at least 10 completed postal swaps under their belt by the sign up date, a rating of 4.8 or over and intend to send and rate. If you can't commit to this, please don't sign up. I will be checking profiles carefully before I assign partners.

Have fun with these, let your imagination flow!

Can anything else be added? Or just magazine images. I love layering with stamps patterned paper etc. hugs Dawny

missychrissy 03/14/2008 #

Hi Dawny, no, for this swap it's just magazine images. There are other swaps that you can do with the other techniques: I love doing them as well. I currently have an altered playing card swap running, and an altered jigsaw piece ATC swap, where you could use those techniques. Hope you'll consider joining one of those?

The card that you've shown above lookes just like a miniature soulcollage card. It does flow nicely, and fit together well, it's a beautiful card! Look up soulcollage and you'll find a lot of information there!

Hi, I am very excited about this swap. My friends call call me the collage queen. I can't wait to start. The only thing that boggles me down on my swaps is trying to make almost everything fit my partner's profile. It takes so long, looking for those images, then trying to put them together. I am not complaining though, cause I have my mind off of myself when I am doing it. I have been disabled since 2001 and it feels good to actually serve others.

Susi 04/ 3/2008 #

I don't need my ATC to fit my profile. I like to see their own creative view!

missychrissy 04/ 4/2008 #

Susi, thank you so much for your compliment! I do love doing them although sometimes I can sit for hours looking for the right bits! I like them to 'flow' and not just look like random bits stuck on any old how!

Angie - don't worry about fitting them to your partner's profile. That's not what this swap is about. It's about you having fun and seeing what strange combinations you can come up with that look totally 'right'! I've made mine already and I doubt if they'd fit anyone's profile!

angiewilliams - I agree it is nice to make things specific to your partners taste because you want them to love it. Obviously your own stle will show through because it's your talent creating these tiny works of art.

This is one of my favorite ways to do collage. Just take a couple of magazines and start cutting then let the images tell me where to put them. I have already made 6. They are all different since I don't have multiple images. I hope it is ok for me to do them the way I like. I am just so happy to have this swap done.... But now I will probably want to do more.

missychrissy 04/21/2008 #

Yes Beth, that's the way to do them! Mine are all different too.

xsugarkittyx 04/23/2008 #

Oh bummer, just realized I have to drop since I don't have the 10 swaps. Oh well, maybe next time I'll join ya :)

missychrissy 04/24/2008 #

Yes, sorry about that. Hopefully you'll have enough by the time the next one comes round.

I am sorry I have to drop this swap before it even starts. I would love to participate, but my homelife has become a nightmarish soap opera. My grandson is missing. He is 21 and from Mt. Gilead N.C. My hubby has less than 6 months to live. You can read it on my profile. Sorry I have to drop out.

piling up my magazines to get ready :)

Angie, don't worry about fitting your artwork to another swapper's profile. Do what feels good to YOU and your art will SHINE !!!

BetsyG 05/ 7/2008 #

Pootle and Mrsfabicons, your cards went out in the mail this morning. Let's see how long it takes from the USA!

jukejan 05/ 7/2008 #

Having the best time cutting and pasting. This is my all time, blast from the past, favorite media!

LINDA50 05/10/2008 #

Thank you Missy Chrissy for hosting this swap! I had so much fun making these I could not stop and ended up making way more than I needed for the swap. I just uploaded 9 of them to my flickr page.

nolagirl 05/14/2008 #

I hope that you host this one again! I had so much fun making mine, and the cards I have received are the best that have gotten from Swap-bot so far!

jukejan 05/14/2008 #

I want to do this again, too. Very fun to create.
