Can they be abstract, or must they have images? I could do both, but I think an abstract would be cool susi

Susi 02/27/2007 #

I did not realize that the sign up and send dates were close together...can we have more time? many of us have multiple swaps going on, and only 8 days turn around seems a bit tight... jmho. susi

gilligogs 03/ 1/2007 #

Added 4 days. Hope this helps. As to abstract, whatever you want just one simple rule, Black and White Only:)

starweaver 03/27/2007 #

Two beautiful ATCs arrived from Lorraine yesterday!

PS - I'm new here and can't figure out how to leave feedback - it doesn't show up as an option on the swap page, which is where I think it supposed to show up. Can someone clue me in?

Cloverst 03/27/2007 #

it doesn't become an option until 7 days after the postage date. Then if you click on the swap it is up there with view participents and view partners. Don't worry I had the same q as a newbie!

starweaver 03/27/2007 #

Ah...

Thank you!

Hatuli 03/27/2007 #

I got 2 beautiful ATCs from Isobelle, but I don't know her nick name so I don't know who I should rate :( Anyway - I love them so thanks a lot!!

Got my beautiful cards from Cazr today!!! Awesome. I love both of them!!! and thanks for the foil stickers....aren't you just toooooooooo sweet!! I will scan them and put them in the gallery! Jessie Mae (so thankful to have been the recipient of your cards)

Susi 03/27/2007 #

i hope I have understanding partners, lol! One of the ATCs I made for each is pretty cool, but the second is my very first attempt at doing a fabric one, and I am not a seamstress! but other than that, the fabric is nice, in spite of the bad handstitching! I still have to make one more, I hope it comes out better... you know, practice makes perfect! susi

HotCakes 03/28/2007 #

Starweaver and Shirley your cards went out today. Enjoy!

SharonP 03/28/2007 #

Thanks, Lawrence, for posting a message that you received my ATC. It's always nice to know when they have arrived safely.

I made all four as one long piece and then cut it apart, it's sort of a collage/doodle combination, including some bar codes because they're black and white and I like how they look. I uploaded the four together on my Flickr page:

Well, I found out there's a guy who's really into bar codes and art incorporating them, and he asked to include my ATCs on his page. How cool is that? It's a great site and I thought others might enjoy it, so here's where to find it:

(Mine is in the bottom left.)

gilligogs 03/29/2007 #

Sharon had a peek and they are truly brilliant

Susi 03/29/2007 #

gilligogs 04/ 3/2007 #

AnastasiaC, received your scrummy atc's today. Brilliant. Thanks so much

suzylucie 04/ 3/2007 #

Hi grannystamper! I got your beautiful b&w ATCs. They are awesome. The one with the bottles reminds me of Jesus. I think it's the quote, it's similar to something said at the last supper so the twist on that is really neat.

heyjupiter21 04/ 3/2007 #

Lawrence-

I recieved your atc's weeks ago! I meant to let you know but have been so busy. I really love both of them but am partial to the B&W photographed one. Also loved the little extras! Thank you :)

Luda Casadaga -

I recieved an envelope with no ATC's in it today from you :( It looks like it was open from the side, all that was left inside was a plastic bag and a little note. Very disapointing, did you manage to take photos of them? I'd love to see them. Never had anything like that happen before. Although I just moved here and have been having problems with the postal service down this way.

twobluecrows 04/ 4/2007 #

Hi all, I'm enjoying the ATCs I've been receiving, but got a mystery package yesterday--a shredded envelope in the POst Office's dreaded "WE CARE" plastic bag! It only had two scraps of paper in it, a piece of vellum with little blue squares pattern and a very pale pastel tea party design on the other. The return address said Alice McCaig from Texas, but no id as to which swap iot was for on the envelope.

This is another sad reminder that it's impossible to identify things we get in the mail unless you put the swap and your username on the outside of the envie as well as inside. Since we don't get to see our list of senders until the rating time comes well after the end of the swap, I'm going to have to post this message in all my (many) open swaps until I find Alice and give her the bad news. :( This might have been a paper swap, or an ATC with some nice extras, I can't tell.

Joanandemma, I received your great ATCs today, I just LOVE the books, I wish I could walk up those steps and through the door! It looks so enchanted! By the way, it's Penny. My nickname was JuliaJo, later shortened to Jewels by my sisters, I've since changed them all to Jewels. Thanks so much! Jewels

jewels1 04/12/2007 #

JMCulver, these ATCs are breath-taking, I absolutely love them. Two of my favorite things, you had to have read my profile. I would love to know how you made these. Thank you so much, they are treasures.
