Description:

Round 4, May 2013.

You will send out 1 ATC to 1 person.

This is a slight variation on the magazine page ATC project in the Artist Trading Card Workbook by Bernie Berlin. I have tweaked the instructions regarding her process and the media used for a stronger card. The final work will have a painted / illustrated look. You want to have fairly accomplished drawing and painting skills for this project. The ATC must be a standard size of 2.5" x 3.5".

Altered Image ATC Instructions

â–º Please read the complete instructions & tips linked to above. Please message me with any questions.

â–º I recommend you try the process and see if you get good results before committing to this swap. We want to send each other great ATCs with a high level of artistic merit. However, do not rate down partners based on the results, only rate on the proper swap being on time.

â–º Paper the back side so it looks finished. Please sign and date your work.

â–º Include your screen name and the name of the swap in the envelope when you mail it.

â–º I will angel any flakes after you give them a 1 rating. Please contact the person about the missing swap before you rate and message me as well. Please message me with any problems with partners or any technical problems.

I love this! Altered images are my specialty, and I love the idea of applying gesso over the cut-out to soften the image~ I actually did this on a canvas a few years back as part of an art final project in college. :) Thank you!

Wow..I really thought I'd see more people sign up for this by now. Anyway, if you haven't already heard of it, there are tons of swaps like this on atcsforall.com, though it's run quite a bit differently from swap-bot. Artfortytwo.org has some good ATC swaps occasionally too. I tend to find swap-bot is more often geared towards stationary, penpals, postcards, gifts, and supplies. :)

I am so sorry I have to drop out :( Got a phone call from the hospital this afternoon. My soon to be stepson is in the ICU :(
