ZIA Swap #53 - Garden of Gems ATC

Zentangle Inspired Art Swap Series Homepage

One of our favourite swap themes is back, this time we are tangling a garden bejeweled with Zen-gems!

This ATC swap requires you to first look at this tutorial [ or similar ones as there are now many others available online ] created by Kae Yoshino, the original inspiration behind this technique: _http://goo.gl/Jez9vm

Please check that you have read ALL the details as the requirements for each swap in the series may vary.

This is a sender's choice swap, but please avoid religious/controversial themes. This is a type 3, International swap with a minimum rating of 4.99 and above. For interested swappers with less than 4.99, do leave me a private message for consideration.

I will angel if necessary.

The Details:

• One partner, one ATC

• Your string should be drawn free-hand, featuring AT LEAST ONE 'gem', in your choice of colours, just like how they are taught in the tutorials. The rest of the ATC should reflect a distinct garden theme.

• Use a minimum of AT LEAST ONE KNOWN TANGLE PATTERN to complement your gemstone(s). [ I hate to have to be so exacting in my requirements, but of late, I have received some very sloppy work in this swap series. If you have any questions about what Zentangle is, PLEASE ASK BEFORE YOU SEND. ]

• Fill up at least half of the ATC. More is always fine.

• You may choose to buy or create your own ATC from your favourite art paper, bristol board, strathmore cold press, etc., just ensure your ZIA ATC is thick enough.

• You may choose to include a sleeve for the ZIA ATC, but it is not a requirement.

• Include a note containing: A. your SB moniker, B. swap name, C. a few lines to share with your partner, and D. quick list of tangles used in your ZIA ATC.

• Send your ZIA ATC and note in an envie.

• Rate your partner when you receive a ZIA ATC with a note that includes A. B. C. & D.
