Myriorama Swap

A myriorama is a panorama made of little cards that can be arranged in any order - the “endless landscape� or "polyorama." They were a popular past time in the early 19th century.

They are lots of fun to make!

For this swap, you'll create 9 cards ("ATC sized" using your preferred drawing medium: colored pencil, watercolor, acrylics, pen, pastel, crayon, etc). Then you'll send off three cards to each of your three partners.

Because we'll all use the same template (see below), the 9 cards you receive can be arranged in any order, even though they may not match in style. You might want to make a few extra cards so you have some of your own to play with, too.
