Description:

This is for all you SHARPIE fans out there! EDIT ADDITIONS TO THE REQUIREMENTS I was asked if the card had to be Sharpie only. The card can contain other things (ie: watercolor highlights, charms,and so forth) However, please keep in mind that this is a sharpie swap, and the card should be predominatly sharpie. :) ** edit additons over** continue on

I'm hoping to get all the sharpie-holics started on some great sharpie-fied artworks. We're going to start out simple with an ATC project.

"I looorve Sharpies! (fist punching the air)" you exclaim, "but I have no idea what an atc is and that makes me want to sit this swap out."

Have no fear, atcs are simple! Cut a piece of thick paper stock (card stock, bristol,watercolor paper,anything sturdy since we're working with bleeding sharpies) to this size: 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. Then art away.

So for this swap, we'll be making two atcs for two partners! That's a total of four small SHARPIE artworks.I'm going to set sign ups to close on the 20th, so sign up fast and let's get the fume huffing started.

I'll be checking partners for any indications of flaking and ban members that seem shady. That being said, I'm asking that members have at least 3 rated swaps that are actual sent mailings, not email/ online related. A rating of 4.8 or better and no no-sends in the last 3 months.

I will angel anyone left Sharpie artless. I'm hoping that won't be the case though.

To re-cap, that's 2 sharpie artist trading cards made for each of two partners for a total of four cards all together. They must be sharpie art. The theme is entirely up to you and depending on how this goes, I'll be doing more themed sharpie art swaps in the future.

Let the Sharpie Love-IN begin! Start your Sharpies! and may the Fumes be with you!

I take it from your guideline you would prefer not to have newbies? I love to draw little cartoons and LOVE sharpies.....just let me know.

I ♥ Sharpies!! What a great idea!

ViridianMuse 07/14/2008 #

Hi Cass! This one isn't for newbies, but I'll be creating one later for newbies if you'd care to join that one! Most likely it'll be up tomorrow.

I started a newbie friendly sharpie swap if anyone is interested in it as well.

for future reference... how do ATC-ers feel about laminating?

ViridianMuse 07/20/2008 #

I haven't had atcs I've received be laminated. It might be fun as a trial to see what interesting effects you could get though. I don't know that I'd laminate my own unless just for trials and new techinique ideas.

Hey...this is an awesome swap...lots of ideas!!! PLEASE Check out the new swaps I started last night...You encouraged me 2 do it after reading and joining both of yours!!! These are my first public swaps! I'm especially psyched about the atc and a painting one...i just did a small painting swap and it was so much fun...and I got a lady's FIRST painting ever...and it is awesome (just a beautiful teal background w/ a black stylized silhouette of a peacock)and she sent me the graphic image of the peacock she looked at too! It is ssooo special to me!!!THANX< CC
