Description:

This will be run as a series of atc swaps every few weeks in order to collect an entire alphabet of atc's. The theme is based on Edward Gorey's Alphabet from his book "The Gashlycrumb Tinies”. It is a morbid little book about dead children. You can see the entire alphabet here: http://www.fuddytv.com/blog/books/edward-gorey-and-his-alphabet/

This swap is the second in the series and is based on C: C is for Clara who wasted away.

You should have the words of the poem on your atc so that when our collections are finished they can be read as a set. So for this one you will have the words: C is for Clara who wasted away.

Please do not print Edward Goreys illustrations out and stick them on card. This is your own interpretation on the words of the poem and it does not have to follow the aesthetic of Goreys illustrations. Hand drawing, Collage, You can use any medium but make it really special. Also the atc must not have just the words of the poem on a background, it must have some kind of image depicting the event. So the words can be tiny because the artwork is the most important part.

1 Atc for 1 partner. If you want to collect the entire alphabet you need to sign up to each individual swap, which I will list as the swap progresses. This also means that you can make your atc's in advance if you want.

I will ban anyone who has a bad rating and you must have completed at least 5 atc swaps prior to this. It is just too disappointing to not receive a swap. If anyone has any questions please let me know:) Have fun!

Anyone else miss Letter B and want to do a private swap?

Kimbeewa 12/10/2010 #

She's doing a make-up swap after letter E for anyone who's missed a letter.

ghostlysun 12/11/2010 #

Ok, thank you! :)

I got this on Watch until we get closer to the time (just need to finish up the current swaps).

I'm really looking forward to this swap! And yay for doing a make-up swap later. I've missed A and B.

Bastet59 12/16/2010 #

ok, when did the letter B post?? Definitely in for the make-up swap-!

stampmaz2000 12/16/2010 #

Yes I think we will have a few people in the make up swap, and I will probably host a couple of them throughout the swap, so don't worry too much if you miss a letter:)

VampiraGirl 12/16/2010 #

Yeah!!! I'm so glad you are going to do a make up swap!! I was hoping to be in one after B, so, I'm really glad!! ^v^

ROCKIE 12/18/2010 #

I will also like to be put on the make-up list for A & B. Thanks

Yay! I missed "A" and "B", too. Thank you sooo much for having a make up swap. I love seeing everyone's interpretation. They are awesome! What a great swap idea! :o)

I want to sign up for missed swaps here. This is my first Edward Gorey ATC swap so I need to make up for the 2 I missed. Just let me know when!

I'm in for the "A" makeup swap. And of course, on this one, too. :)
