Hmm. I am no artist but I think this might stretch me a bit so I am going for it...

I can no where near draw like the one at top! I can draw a few little things. Maybe i should have a newbie since i'm not artistic. =) HUGS

justj 07/18/2008 #

I forgot...what size is ATC? I haven't done one yet. =) HUGS

Justj, atcs are 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches - and anyone can doodle:)

I love it when people do something to stretch them a bit!!! This sounds like alot of fun...and how can you go wrong??? PLEASE check out my profile and under swaps I'm hosting there are 3 atc swaps...they are my first public swaps to host! Please support me and try them...especially the atc and a small painting to match swap! I think this one will really be an awesome experience to make and to receive!!! THANX, CC

oh bummer! its too bad I dont have 5+ swaps under my belt since Im a newbie. oh well maybe next time, I'll just save those cards i made for another occaision.

You said absolutelyflat -- does that mean I can't glue a piece of white cardstock to a piece of black and vice versa so I have a border effect?

OrigamiGrace 07/28/2008 #

Yup, two layers of cardstock are okay! Thanks for asking!

Inexpsenive postage to me is a .27 postage stamp. *International .90 or more but I am in. I love to doddle when on the phone.

Boy, that was harder than I thought it would be. 5 ATC's went down the trash, but now I have my 2 ATC's and I'm very happy with them. Hope my partner will be happy with them too :)

DJPirtu 08/ 8/2008 #

I would have rather seen one card from two different people. But I can live with this as well. Already finished one of the cards.

esthergum 08/ 9/2008 #

I'm already done and am waiting anxiously for partners! This one was so much fun... I think we need to do this one again! I agree with DJPirtu... next time, maybe it can be 2 partners, 1 to each? More variety. :)

OrigamiGrace 08/13/2008 #

I set up this swap so everyone would have to pay no more than one stamp to participate (whatever one stamp is in your country) - multiple partners discourages alot of participation in international swap because the additional mailing costs.

dukiegal 08/15/2008 #

i have been stalking this swap and now i am finally signing up for real. I am a bit nervous about the hand drawn part but i cant wait too :) cant wait for my partner so i can mail them out :) am i the only one who stalks the site for the partner listing? :)

twobluecrows 08/16/2008 #

I'm ready, too! I like these challenges! A partner would be great right about now! I'm in mailing kind of mood! :)
