Description:

I've gotten the idea from another swap that is going on right now, from the State Bird and State Flower Swap, but this time focusing on the Swedish Regions instead. I will be doing this in an alphabetical order, there are 25 regions all in all, beginning with Blekinge. The swedish regions have 7 different symbols for each region (landscape) but here I will only be listing four symbols : Flower, Animal, Bird and Insect. Though some of the regions have combined Animal/Bird. You will include all four of these symbols on each ATC including the name of the region. You will also include the swedish name of each item listed on the ATC, as I have listed below. I have included both the english translation of the subject and the latin name to help your googling easier on the net.

Note: this swap is 3 ATC's for 1 partner, all three ATC's listed below must be made.

10th ATC Region

  • Jämtland
  • Flower: Brunkulla (swedish), Black Vanilla Orchid (english), Gymnadenia nigra (latin)
  • Animal: Älg (swedish), European Elk, Moose (english), Alces alces (latin)
  • Bird: Hökuggla (swedish), Northern Hawk Owl (english), Surnia ulula (latin)

11th ATC Region

  • Lappland
  • Flower: Fjällsippa (swedish), Mountain Avens, White Dryas, White Dryad (english), Dryas octopetala (latin)
  • Animal: Fjällräv (swedish), Arctic Fox (english), Alopex lagopus (latin)
  • Bird: BlÃ¥hake (swedish), Bluethroat (english), Luscinia svecica (latin)
  • Insect: Högnordisk Höfjäril (swedish), Northern Clouded Yellow Butterfly, Hecla Suplhur Butterfly (english), Colias hecla (latin)

12th ATC Region

  • Insect: Mnemosynefjäril (swedish), Clouded Apollo Butterfly, Schwarzer Apollo Butterfly (english), Parnassius mnemosyne (latin)

On the back of the ATC you will write:

  • Svenska Landskaps Symboler - Swedish Regional Symbols
  • Your name
  • Your location
  • Date of Creation : YYYY / MM / DD

You can draw, make a collage, paint or however you would like to make them, it's all up to you :)

Hope you all have fun!
