Description:

Oh gather ye 'round and let me tell you a tale! of times gone by and the people who dwelt, living happily and heartily and sometimes mischievously, but nonetheless they are our subjects most readily!

So, ladies and gentlemen, our subjects or theme for this series is The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Now some people may think these tales may be boring, but not so! Some are quite hilarious and read like a medieval soap opera and at the time they were considered very scandalous indeed!

The requirements are this...

I am not going to make anyone read the stories, but if you wish to for inspiration that is fine too! Since I am not requiring folks to read these stories you may get your inspiration from the title's name as well, like in this one as long as it has a knight on it somewhere you should be good. But please at least try to have something relating to the titles on your ATC's. You can also look online for brief summaries about the stories without having to read them all through. For those of you who read the stories please give a brief description of the scene or images you choose and pass a little of your knowledge of the story to your partner.

You will make 1 ATC for each of your two partners for a total of 2 ATC's. You may hand draw, use collage, paint, markers, fabric, embellishments, whatever you can think of to express your creativity for these tales. Please no recent no-sends or unexplained 1's for this swap, rating of 4.9 or higher please. If you have a question or comment please pm me or leave it below!

There are many entertaining stories collected within the tales and there are 8 total! So, we will be doing 8 total swaps to cover each of the tales. I hope we have a good show for #1 and the rest will soon follow, about 1 every 2-3 weeks.

Let the storytelling begin!
