The first installment to the Otherworld ATC series. Every hero's journey described events leading him or her to an Otherworld, a world of the dead or spiritual place existing outside of their own mortal reality. This ATC series invites artists of all types to explore Otherworlds and interpret them into an ATC. Otherworlds in the series may include (with interest): Hades, Annwn (Avalon), Nifelheim, Irkalla, Tír na nÓg, Limbo, The Cedar Forest, Hamistagan, Brittia (suggestions welcome).

Create 1 ATC for 1 Partner, using the theme Otherworlds: Hades. Perhaps the most well known Otherworld, due to its prevalence in myth and pop culture, Hades is a great introduction to a possible series. Interpret the world of Hades in any medium on your ATCs. Take inspiration from any number of artists, or using mythology craft your own representation. Be dark, be creative and be sure to send something well-crafted, that you would like to receive (of course).

4.9 or higher are welcome, no unexplained 3s or 1s, I will be checking profiles before the swap begins. I will angel if the need arises. I shall also be providing links to any future Otherworlds swaps.

Thank you for your participation & I would be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have about this swap or this series.

Isn't it possible to combine some series? For most people the postage is the same for 1 to up about 3 items.

True, but ATC series typically seem to run one ATC at a time.

If you mean combining different series, there are different hosts.

Also, I know that Idon't always have time to spend on non ATC swaps, such as crochet and sewing, as I'm not skilled. So not combining allows folks to join where ATCs are their specialty. Just my two cents.

Is Otherworlds a book series or something? That feels like such a dumb question orz but I want to make sure I know what I'm doing before I join.
