Artist's Trading Cards


The Bookies group are running a monthly ATC (Artist's Trading Card) swap. For those who haven't heard of an ATC, it's a small card measuring 2 1/2 inches x 3 1/2 inches, either portrait or landscape. It's like an artist's business card! Traditionally, worldwide, ATCs are NEVER sold but only swapped. They can be made form any material, paper, card, fabric, fibres, anything, using any technique. On the back the artist writes his/her name, contact details if desired, place of residence, date made and the title of the card.

Bookies have opened this swap to anyone who would like to join in. All you need to do is make your ATC and give it to Janet B before Bookies group monthly meeting sealed inside an envelope with your name clearly printed on the outside. In exchange for your card you'll receive another made by someone else. It's great fun!

The exquisite card above and below was made by Janet B for May and is from her series "Footprints".

From me (Carol McG) Janet received the one below titled "Outback Trails".

Thanks for the photos, Janet.
