Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:October 15, 2016
Date items must be sent by:June 11, 2007

Description:

Each participant chooses a Zodiac sign and makes 11 cards depicting that sign, one for each of their swap partners.

So that each sign is covered (with no duplicates), please choose a sign that no one else is doing yet, and post your choice here.

Any medium, any style, any interpretation of the theme. You may make an edition of identical cards, or make a variety of different designs, so long as each card represents the Zodiac sign you've chosen.

Newbies are welcome. There is no minimum rating to participate, but I will check for recent no-sends and exclude unreliable swappers.

The swap will close when we have 12 participants.

This sounds AWESOME! I'd love to do Leo if possible, just because I am one and I am self-centered tat way. If not, let me know. :) I'm so glad I saw this before I left for my trip!

starweaver 05/ 3/2007 #

Hi cooan! Leo is yours (being first to jump in has its advantages)

user7866 05/ 3/2007 #

What an awesome swap! I'd like to do Virgo, if possible. I'm a newbie and a Virgo :)

How fun that it filled up in just a few hours.

Cool! I'm so excited to get started. I've been doing a little research on Aquarius (don't have any in my family)and have some ideas... =D

thiswillbegone 05/ 4/2007 #

you can change the sign up dates to end the swap earlier so we can get each others addresses if you'd prefer!

thiswillbegone 05/14/2007 #

I've got 4 of my Taurus cards done! :) This is such a fun swap!

Starweaver, Sagittarius came today, what a beautiful card. This is shaping up to be the best collection ever. Thanks for creating something special.

user3457 05/24/2007 #

Starweaver, received your card today and absolutely love it. And you have the most gorgeous penmanship ever. ♥

user7866 05/26/2007 #

Starweaver , Sagittarius arrived last night, what an awesome card! I am in awe of your Photoshop skills! Wonderful! And ditto on your handwriting, I can't bring myself to throw your envelope away! :)

thiswillbegone 05/27/2007 #

I received my Sagittarius card the other day.

The Taurus cards are all going out on Tuesday, I finally finished them all :)

cooan 05/30/2007 #

Leo is (finally) done, and will be going out tomorrow morning!

user3457 06/ 4/2007 #

cooan, received your Leo today and it is truly lovely. What a beautiful job you did. Thank you so much! ♥

bren 06/ 5/2007 #

Received Starweaver's Sagittarius! I really like the interpretation and the work in digital! It's the first digital art I've ever received. The rider on the card must have delivered the envelope, though, because it took over two weeks to get here! What's going on with the postal service these days??

bren 06/ 5/2007 #

And the Capricorn cards are done and going out today!

user7866 06/ 5/2007 #

Virgo has been sent today!

starweaver 06/ 5/2007 #

Thanks bren! Two weeks - gosh! Maybe the driver couldn't figure out how to get across the Mississippi.

alleycat 06/ 6/2007 #

I recieved Leo today, the collection is getting better, and better! Thanks Cooan for a lovely card.

user7866 06/ 6/2007 #

Well, I discovered at the post office last night that the ink I used seems to get all smeary in the heat (pigment ink on vellum)... so I have to do them with something else... I will have them out by Friday. GRRRR. I am so sorry for the mixup. :(

redwing480 06/ 8/2007 #

I received Capricorn from Brenda today-another awesome card. This is going to be a great set!

lilmissmuffett 06/ 8/2007 #

Finally got Aquarius finished and should have them in the mail by tomorrow!

I'm loving all the cards that are coming in. They're all so beautiful! ^_^

user7866 06/ 8/2007 #

Phew, got them all redone and mailed out! Also, received two awesome cards today from cooan and bren!

user3457 06/ 9/2007 #

Bren, received your card and it is lovely. Thank you so much! ♥

user3457 06/ 9/2007 #

suzylucie, received another really gorgeous card. What an amazing group of swappers! Thank you so much! ♥

thiswillbegone 06/11/2007 #

I just mailed mine today.. sorry for any delay!

alleycat 06/11/2007 #

There must be something in the stars...I recieved 3 cards Saturday, Libra, Capricorn, and Scorpio. Each one prettier than the next. This is an awesome collection, I'm going to have to think of a way to frame them! Thanks everyone.

user7866 06/11/2007 #

Received such a beautiful Scorpio card from suzylucie today, and thank you for the tip!

starweaver 06/13/2007 #

There are still two marked "not sent" - I emailed them an inquiry today.

SnaughtyGirl 06/13/2007 #

Starweaver, thank you for the Sagittarius card. Great work.

SnaughtyGirl 06/13/2007 #

Redwing480 - your beautiful card arrived here in England. Thank you so much!

SnaughtyGirl 06/13/2007 #

suzylucie - Thank you for the wonderful Scorpio card. Cheers!

SnaughtyGirl 06/13/2007 #

Thank you, cooan, for the great Leo card. Excellent that you carved the stamp yourself.

SnaughtyGirl 06/13/2007 #

neonmarshmallow - Thank you for your take on Libra. I received your card yesterday. Cheers.

SnaughtyGirl 06/13/2007 #

user3457 06/13/2007 #

My cards should be sent out tomorrow. Sorry for the delay. I am behind in my swaps and am desperately trying to catch up. Apologies!

starweaver 06/13/2007 #

Thanks for the update, veggiemommie!

cooan 06/15/2007 #

I think someone should set up a chinese zodiac atc swap! I just loved this swap so much!

thiswillbegone 06/16/2007 #

I'm re-making and re-sending as no one has received from me yet!

thiswillbegone 06/16/2007 #

I can host a chinese zodiac swap, I could start it now, but not have send outs till mid or late july.. would that be good?

SnaughtyGirl 06/20/2007 #

I received bren's very lovely card yesterday. Thanks!

lilmissmuffett 06/24/2007 #

Snaughty Girl! Your card is sooo cool. It must have taken you ages to embroider all 12.... Thank you!!!

user7866 06/26/2007 #

GRRRR!!! Seeing that only 1 of my 11 have been rcvd in 3 WEEKS... I will be re-making and re-mailing my ATCs this week too.

Please let me know if you have received my ATC (Virgo), unless you would like another. Ten '1' ratings is going to kill me :(

cooan 06/27/2007 #

Hello my lovelies, please let me know if you have not received my card so I can re-make them!

Also, I'm haven't received some of the cards yet, so if you did send to me, I hope you don't mind if I ask for another... I really want the full set. :(

thiswillbegone 06/28/2007 #

ok.. I'm sending out for the 3rd time.. I really hope they all make it to everyones home. I've just got a new post-man and I'm missing mail (like credit card bills and such, so I hope I don't lose any ATCs either)

starweaver 06/28/2007 #

I've still not received Taurus, Cancer, or Virgo. I appreciate the updates you've all posted here. I haven't rated anyone yet, but will do so on Monday, as that will be 3 weeks past the send date, and none of these were international mailings. Hopefully, your cards will be here by then or shortly after.

thiswillbegone 07/ 2/2007 #

I re-mailed 7 cards. Right now I'm in England, we had a huge family emergency (my grandmother -in - law is very ill and dying) and I'll be re-mailing the others on the 10th of July when I get back to the states.

I did mail out my cards, and if you haven't received them in a few days you might be one of the ones I didn't get to re-mail to.

So you all know I have never NOT sent, I always send, and you will get your cards.

redwing480 07/ 2/2007 #

I received a card from selise today

user7866 07/ 3/2007 #

Eek, got my 1. I'm still working on getting these all resent... I'm sorry to be such an anchor! I'm really embarrassed, and feel horrible I've let you all down.

I'm missing Taurus, Libra, and Cancer ... Is veggiemommie MIA?

I'm resending 9 cards (2 less since suzielucie & li'l miss muffett have rated as received), I will be working like a madwoman tonight & tomorrow to get these out.

Very very sorry.

thiswillbegone 07/ 4/2007 #

I mailed out 7 Taurus cards before my flight to England. I'll remail the rest when I get back to the USA on July 10th. I'm sorry for any confusion.

user7866 07/ 5/2007 #

Put Virgo cards in the mail last night, but technically will go out today due to the holiday.

Thanks, everyone, for your understanding!

cooan 07/ 5/2007 #

i received my taurus from selise!

cooan 07/ 5/2007 #

i'm missing capricorn, virgo and cancer... i see virgo's in the mail right above my last post, i'll follow up with my other little buddies and beeeeg for another one to fill in my holes :)

bren 07/ 6/2007 #

Sent my own card(1of12) to cooan as a replacement today. If anyone else has not received a Capricorn card from me, I will have to make more to replace them, and while I was at it, make another for myself. :) Drop me a note.

I am still waiting for Virgo and Cancer. I'll give another week or so before leaving a rating for those.

redwing480 07/ 7/2007 #

I received Virgo from Mokona today, just missing Cancer now

bren 07/ 9/2007 #

I've got Mokona's Virgo card! I was wondering how that one was going to be interpreted.

Now, just waiting on Cancer.

cooan 07/12/2007 #

now it's just cancer for me too... is veggiemommie flaking on us? i looked at her profile and she hasn't logged on in over a week...

big big thanks to bren for sending meher own capricorn! it was totally worth the guilt i feel for asking :)

bren 07/12/2007 #

I am so glad that the second card arrived, and I'm happy you like it! I swear the postal system is wonky all over the world. I just had a package come from Europe that took over a month in transit, and it was sent Priority postage!!

starweaver 07/18/2007 #

Cancer is the only card left for me too.

lilmissmuffett 07/24/2007 #

That's all I'm missing, Cancer. That's my daughter's sign and she keeps asking if I've got it in yet! ^_^ Where you at veggiemommie???
