Meta Mail Art ATC
Picture above is an ACEO by Hazel Fisher
There were so many great ideas flying around for the first run of this swap that I thought it would be a fun one to run regularly. For those who missed it last time(!), here is the original swap description:

ATCs, as a form of art traded through the mail, constitute a form of mail art in and of themselves – (see description here ). Mail art as a whole, though, is a pretty broad umbrella. So for this swap, the theme of the ATC itself is mail art: whatever that means to you, apply it to your ATC.

Any technique of creation is fair game – whatever medium you work with, go for it. Pencil sketches are as welcome as mixed media collage, textiles as welcome as digitally manipulated artwork.

Swap requirements

  • 2 partners = 1 ATC sent to each partner
  • ATC to meet standard size, 2.5” x 3.5”
  • Reverse of ATC to be signed & dated (additional info entirely optional, e.g. contact details, edition, medium etc)
  • If you haven't included your SB user name on the ATC reverse, make sure it is clearly marked either on the envelope or included in a separate note.

The obvious bit
You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. But I will still double-check before assigning partners, so if you have what you feel is an unfair comment or rating, just PM me & we can try to work it out. :-)
