Roy G. Biv Close-up Photo ATC's (RED)
Swap Coordinator:FarStarr (contact)
Swap categories: Challenges  Artist Trading Card (ATC)  Photography 
Number of people in swap:20
Location:Other
Type:None
Last day to signup/drop:May 7, 2007
Date items must be sent by:May 21, 2007
Number of swap partners:3
Description:

I found that when I took close-ups and cropped them to ATC size (3 1/2" X 2 1/2"), one color was very dominant. For this swap you will take close-up photos of RED items. (I would love to start with green, but it's a little early in spring for that.)

Cut the photos to ATC size (3 1/2" X 2 1/2"), back them with cardstock, and write what they are on the back with your name etc.

You will be sending 3 RED close-up ATC's each to 3 partners. That will give us a full page of each color as we go along.

I do plan on continuing with the other colors, so if you see a picture for later, take it!

Of course this is International!

It is also fun to post pictures here..I'd love to see them!

Red Tape* I am very serious about ratings! (Serious, but not crazy!) In order to participate you must have at least a 4.7 rating. Newbies are welcome, but please email me to let me know you are serious and fill out your profile. It's not fair to do the work and not get anything in return.

It's also really nice to note here when you send and receive your ATC's.

Most of all...Have Fun!

love your ideas of swaps...

FarStarr 04/17/2007 #

aw shucks..Thanks for coming to play!

FarStarr 04/24/2007 #

I'm so jealous, Melanie! You still have beautiful flowers blooming and we are just starting to get some spring green..Yeah, I peeked at Flickr. hee hee

sewcool72 04/24/2007 #

Count me in! I like these photo swaps. This will be fun!

alishamitchum 04/29/2007 #

That's so funny, I didn't even see this swap. Of course I don't look much. I don't join a lot of other swaps b/c of flakers, some people aren't strict enough and I hate being flaked on. Thanks for telling me about it.

Here's mine. http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/3480

FarStarr 05/ 5/2007 #

Hi All, I just started up the orange swap. Do you have a pun for that one, yowell?

http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/3615

Have fun! Mandy

yowell 05/ 6/2007 #

i'll try to oraange my time so i can do this swop too! x

yowell 05/ 6/2007 #

Hi FarStarr have sent an email to you to 'introduce' myself properly...:)

FarStarr 05/ 6/2007 #

...all I could think of was "orange you glad I didn't say banana..."

Susi 05/ 6/2007 #

Dumb question... does the photo need to be on photo paper? I know that it would be much brighter etc, but photo paper is kind of expensive... well unless I go to walmart and get some cheapy stuff! I have already taken pictures of red things, orange things and green things, as well as one white. Are you going to do only only the colors ings in the color spectrum of the rainbow, or will you also be doing colors such as white, black and brown, etc? Could you message me to let me know, so I can still have a chance to join? thanks, susi

animalchatter 05/ 6/2007 #

You guys are having so much fun in here I just HAD to join...already have my pix taken for both red and orange. What a great idea FarStarr!!!

FarStarr 05/ 6/2007 #

Thanks for coming, animalchatter. The word is out, we ARE having fun!

In answer to Susi's questions (just in case anyone else had the same ones): I do think that the photos look much better on photo paper, but cheapo Wal-mart gloss photo paper does the trick for me ;)...The other solution that I use is that I upload my pictures to www.PePhoto.com. 4x6's are only 8 cents each! Even with shipping and handling it's cheaper and easier than schlepping to Wal-mart. They are good with turnaround time and the quality is great! (and they aren't even paying me for the endorsement).

And "yes" to the question about other colors..We'll keep going as long as we can think up new challenges!

Have a great night!

Mandy

FarStarr 05/ 6/2007 #

PS-Has anyone guessed what my sample picture is above?

yowell 05/ 7/2007 #

ah, you're RAISIN the topic of the picture...is it jam? can't write much more...too MELONcholy!! why are we talking fruit when the theme's colours?!

yowell 05/ 7/2007 #

oh, no,..could it be caviar? this is GRAPE fun....

FarStarr 05/ 7/2007 #

ding ding ding...We have a winner!! You crack me up..yes, it's caviar! I'm a cheap date when it comes to caviar. A vat of Icelantic lumpfish will do me just fine.

user5409 05/ 7/2007 #

Hi FarStarr (my daughter's middle name is Starr). Anyway, are we allowed to embelish, or add anything else than the foto, or is it just the close up and zip zilch that is all? Either way works for me, but adding to could be fun too. Oh and red is my fav. color.

Thanks

FarStarr 05/ 7/2007 #

Hi Cattycat, For these we are going with plain old unadulterated photos. I also feel that sometimes things need embellishment, but not this time. My middle name is also Starr! It was my maiden name...are we related?

FarStarr 05/ 8/2007 #

Partners are assigned. Now we're ALL REDy to go!

FarStarr 05/ 8/2007 #

I love it when Postmuse breaks down her participants by location. I'm not as organized as she is...but here we go! We have 2 from California, 1 from Maryland, 2 from New Mexico, 1 from Utah, 1 from Michigan, 1 from Alabama, 1 from West Virginia, 1 from Vermont, 2 from Massachusetts, 1 from Kentucky, 1 from North Dakota, 2 from Oregon, 1 from Japan, 1 from Scotland, 1 from Australia, and 1 from New Zealand. We sure do span the globe!

Isin't great when you keep on swapping photos with the same group as you start to feel as if you are meeting up with old friends for coffee.

Your welcome, Rhonda. That Mr Peanut is part of a much larger collection...unfortunately I don't think we have any orange Mr Peanuts for the next one.

user5409 05/15/2007 #

Catherine in Scotland: I looked at every group profile and could not decide what your sig name is. Anyway, I got your 3 Red Foto ATCs and wanted to tell you thank you. I especially like the red leather binder texture. Nice! Thank you for the candy - yummy and the paper goodies too. Extras are always great to receive, especially from overseas. If you will let me know who you are I'll be able to rate you easier with the desired 5 plus a heart. LOL. Thanks again.

CattyCat (ake Maryellen)

yowell 05/16/2007 #

bundles 05/17/2007 #

how do you give ratings? I am a first timer and I don't see any place to give ratings? -lshannon

bundles 05/18/2007 #

I posted the great atc's I got from emerald up on the gallery link! very nice.

FarStarr 05/18/2007 #

Hi lshannon, The ratings link will show up 7 days from the send deadline. It will be up in the yellow box near the top of the swap. Since we haven't even hit the mail deadline for this one it will be a little while. A reminder though, just because the ratings are available after 7 days doesn't mean you should jump the gun and rate a "1" for a swap you haven't received. Many of our players are international and we all know how slow the PO can be. If you are concerned that you haven't received a package after 7 days, please email the partner before rating. Thanks for posting the pics!

HappyCactus 05/18/2007 #

Angel Faery Katherine - I received your cards yesterday...wonderful photos as usual
