[Meran]

OOOHHH,, maaannnn, you know you had me talked into this. I didn't know EVERYONE was gonna run swaps except for me!
I'm in.
Meran

[OriginalYouth]

Long due date means I can't pass it up. :)

[abi]

Meran - I had to start somewhere, this is my first and I feel a little anxious and excited all at the same time, the effect is somewhat nauseating

OY - I was looking at all my cards that will be due in the middle of October and and wanted to cry like a little girl, so I gave myself an extra month just for kicks.

By the by, your both in!

[artyiagirl]

Abi - great swap. This should stretch my art-brain. Please add me. And thanks for the later due date :spinny:

[adriayna]

This is going to be a challenge in a new direction for me. And since its in november, I can swing it :). Sign me up!

[Amerasu]

Me too please

[abi]

Ok, sorry for the slight delay, yesterday was the last day my sis was in town so we hung out and I didn't get to a computer.

So Artyiagirl, Adriayna, and Amerasu are all in! I am so excited to have you here. I just realized this is a predominately A group, maybe OY and Meran need to do some non A recruiting :spinny:

[potbellyarts]

Oh, I hafta support your first swap, darlin Abi. Sign me right up please. :)

[abi]

Thanks PB, I'm looking forward to seeing you text it up!

[Gadjits24]

Pleeease sign me up! This is such a nifty idea--text is such a huge part of illustration, and we often forget how important it is.

[abi]

Oh Gadjits24 I am sooooo excited to have you join up! Your in like flin (is that correct or is it flint? Oh well) :spinny:

[Swaggertoes]

OH oh oooooooh, I wanna do this one tooooo. Danggit. I'm such a procrastinator though...:P

[abi]

Well, didn't you see the note saying the whole reason the due date is in the middle of November is specifically for procrastinators!!!! Welcome swaggy!

[abi]

Hey Folks!!! This is a fabulous swap, and if you haven't joined up yet shame on you! The only requirement is to have some text incorportated, and so basically it is open season on the atc theme. Come on in and sign up

or else...

[katie]

Hi.... I am new here... & would like to start out by joining this swap... katie

[abi]

Welcome katie!!! I feel so privileged to be your first here. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!!

[clep]

I suppose calligraphy would be OK for the swap? Or illustrations with speech bubbles?(probably not so...)

[abi]

I repeat ANY TEXT, i.e. writing, language, etc... so are you in clep?

[clep]

Yeah. November is great too. I must be the president of the junior procrastinators' club.

[abi]

Great your in! I'm looking forward to seeing your concepts of text...

[rubypaleface]

Oh, this will be fun! Can I join?

[abi]

Absofrigginlutely! Welcome, the more the merrier!!!

[jart]

What a great word abi!...absofrigginlutely...fun to say. Anyway...I should be back and running again. I have to get back into swaps again, so can you sign me absofrigginlutely, too? If I start now....

Jart

[abi]

Absofrigginlutely!!! Welcome jart!!! Maybe I will have to work on incorportating absofrigginlutely into my cards for this swap.

[adriayna]

I'm about halfway done with these. They are going to be really different. I decided to do a complex layering background with russian text and fiberous paper, then do several layers of paints/glazes on top. I'm now adding ink work and some more acrylic to give them some character, combined with more russian text. Will post pictures soon!

[abi]

I am very excited, these sound fabulous!!!

[hairlessbill]

Sign me up. I have to plug our local text artist, Laurie Doctor. Took her class a few years ago and it was too cool.
http://www.lauriedoctor.com/artwork3.html

[canuckdesz]

Hi, I'm new. I would like to join in, 3 for 3.

[abi]

Welcome, welcome, welcome hairless bill and canuckdesz. Glad to have you aboard!!!

Hairless, thanks for the great link, I think I am in love with her work! Please pm catsavannah with the link to add to the artist link sticky!

Yay!

[abi]

Canuckdesz how can I get my address to you? I tried private messaging you, but it said you had it turned off. Can I email it to you? If so do what is your eaddress? Let me know. Thanks

Abi

[adriayna]

Abi, my cards are on their way. You can see them in the gallery - part of the "russian roulette series". :)_

[abi]

They are fabulous!!! Great work! It looks like you have been busy lately, all of your cards are beautiful!

[adriayna]

Well, more like I procrastinate and don't post pictures of cards for a month, haha. I'm glad you like them!

[WhiteMoth]

Great theme....
I would love to join

[abi]

Welcome WhiteMoth! Glad to have you here :spinny:

Adriayna your cards arrived in perfect condition and they are fabulous, FABULOUS! Great work!

[potbellyarts]

abi, if I want to try out some calligraphy type stuff, but feel like it would work better in a larger size original (but one that's entirely hand-lettered and hand-drawn), would it be okay to submit OOAK reduced prints for this swap if I promise to never reproduce?

Not sure how this kind of thing goes over in the ATC community and it hasn't come up for me before, but I'm thinking of trying some calligraphy and I don't think I can do it justice (or, frankly, do it at all) at 2.5 x 3.5.

Let me know!

[abi]

It is fine with me, but we will pose this to the group. If anyone is not down with PB doing some reducing either post or pm me by this weekend.

PB if you don't hear from me by Mon morning go with it, hope this is not too much of a delay :spinny:

[potbellyarts]

Nope, I'm thinking ahead on this one. Monday is fine. Later than that is fine, too. Historically, I've always worked at "real size" but it seems like a larger canvas would be necessary for the kind of lettering I'm imagining. I'm happy to wait and will happily accept any answer; no hard feelings, and I'm actually just curious about whether this is ever actually done with ATC's. In this case I'd probably keep the original (or send it to you, The Abster!) Just wanted to ask well in advance, because I have a few ideas churning. Thanks!

[abi]

Well I must admit that I would be willing to heavily supress any opposing thoughts if the original made it my way *lol* Just kidding, we are all about free, unoppressed speech here and I value the opinions and thoughts of everyone involved. (but the original would be nice ;) )

[artyiagirl]

Hey Abi -
My cards will be mailed in the morning. I'm including 4 cards - your choice on the extra for hosting.

Thanks for an excellent swap!!

[abi]

artyiagirl - Great! Thanks for letting me know! I am looking forward to seeing them in person!

[abi]

Artyiagirl they made it! Thaks so much they are great! As a side note I had them at school with me because they were in my purse (I get my mail at my parents as they have a locking box) and my 1st graders say the dragon & fairy on the back of the sleeve and then had to look at them. They lined them all up and made them into a family, Fresh Faced is the father, Tell me the mother, the other the daughter and of course they have a bird pet. I was cracking up and thought I would share it with you too.

I am off to leave you i-trader ratings :)

[adriayna]

Hehe, that is great :).

[artyiagirl]

OMG Abi - I love that!! That makes me feel warm and happy. When your art is a hit with kids - there's nothing better in the world for me. They give the most honest and interesting feed back in my opinion -- and keep us in touch with our imaginary lives.

Whenever V (my step-daughter) is staying with us, she loves to get out my cards in progress and lay them out. She often likes to make up stories or have me tell her what I was thinking when I made them. The best times are when she wants to jump in and make cards in the same theme.

It's funny to think about kids looking at art and finding relationships between images and then think about how grown ups go to art museum to look at art and they're doing the same thing -they just think they're doing it at a "higher" level. I like to think that kids are looking at art in a more real way - fewer filters and layers of crap. It's also interesting to see how early our archetypes are in place for viewing the world!

Thanks so much for sharing that great anecdote!!

[gallery318]

Abi,

I didn't realize when I did my last "text" card that this swap was happening! I'd like to participate 3 for 3 if possible.

Thanks!

[abi]

Yay! I will sign you right up! And I love your work; I am so glad to have you here!!!

[gallery318]

Thank you! I visited the art store today to buy some garish purple gouache... I mean, really, you never know when you will want to blind someone with a punch of purple. ha ha! I think I should get color-addiction counseling. I look forward to making some more text-oriented cards.

[katie]

I have posted 2 of my text swap cards to my gallery under atcs traded... hope to have the other one done soon

[fidoart]

Thanks for the invitation, Abi! My cards are done and ready to be mailed.

[abi]

Yay! You are so on top of it you must have missed the procrastination part of this swap that I am fully taking part in :laugh: I am looking forward to seeing your work in person!!

[gallery318]

Oh, yeah, Danny is swapping here! I love his artwork---and you will too!

By the way Abi, my text cards are in the mail to you. I sent them last Tuesday, so you should see them soon.

[abi]

And lo and behold they have arrived. They came in yesterday and I was a little confused, but now it is all clear :)

Great job, and thanks so much for the fun hostes card!

[gallery318]

Oh, no... did I mistakenly do something confusing??? Ah, let me know, and I'll be happy to fix it. :)

[abi]

no, you didn't do anything, I am just easily confused. It only lasted as long as it took me to open them up and look at them. You know sometimes you are expecting something or not and the opposite thing happens, I simply got mail on a day I wasn't expecting any. Thanks so much for asking :)

[Swaggertoes]

What up Abi!? Mine should go out today. I'm sending 4 for you to do as you like. "ARg" "Twitching Cricket" "Pink Zebra" and "Happy People Make me Nervous". The Dark ones are really dark. lol. I hope whoever gets the pirate has a light house. ^_^

[abi]

yay! I am so excited to see your cards in the flesh, as I have been lusting over them for too long!

[canuckdesz]

Lemme try here, since PM's don't seem to like me. :) My email address is greyscalestudios@gmail.com. I've got mine ready to go, I just need the address to send it to!

[abi]

Yay! Swaggertoes had amazing cards come in!!! Yay!!! They are all so beautiful, and thanks for the hostess gift!

[abi]

I just realized I have been leaving i-trader ratings without letting everyone know in the thread that cards have arrived. Yay katie, whitemoth and canukdez have all arrived. Keep them coming :)

[abi]

Rubypaleface your owl cards are fabulous! I just saw them in the gallery and I am sooo excited to see them in person!!! Great work!

[OriginalYouth]

I worked on these last night, hope to get them finished up and out in a few days.

[Meran]

Mine will be in tomorrow's mail. Am making Clam Chowder, so haven't fully fixed the scans for the gallery yet. I might wait. That way abi can't see them ahead of time!
:P

[abi]

awwww shucks, someone is playing dirty and I will not mention any names, but it starts with an M and ends with eran :P

Looking forward to seeing all the great cards!

[adriayna]

Hehe, you are too much Meran!

[Meran]

Too much to do! Wasn't that, kinda, what the White Rabbit said?
I should have a card with that on it... maybe my next request/trade!
Am worrying about one of my doglets.. he's very ill. We're waiting on a blood test to see what to do next... :(
I've scanned my cards; just haven't enabled them for the web yet..
Was feeling ornery. Now, just feeling, too much, I think.

[OriginalYouth]

I kind of think my cards suck, so I may have to withdraw. I'll sleep on it and let you know.

[Meran]

OY, don't do that. Let US tell you they suck, lol
I'm sure they're fine! Mine didn't come out quite the way I planned either, but they still look cool. Just not AAA+++++. But still, I like them.

[OriginalYouth]

That's funny.

Here are the 2 I did. I know they are fine, but I just don't have a bold vision this time for a group of cards. I'll see if I can think of something fabu to do instead...
955 956

[abi]

Meran, I am sorry to hear about your doglet, let us know what the results are :)

OY, I love both of your cards. I know that several people have really struggled with this swap, but hang in there! Your cards are worth it!

[Meran]

The face card reminds me of young children, touching parts of the face, and naming them, then giggling their little butts off!
Those cards are fine my dear. Maybe not museum quality, lol... but then, neither are mine.. unlike that sweet sweet dandelion card I got from abi..

Sure abi, we'll let you know.
I may need some RAK cards for grendel.. I have a winged one of him in my gallery, if you'd like to see him. He's a doggie Eeyore.. always did hang his head and look up at you. Brat. Never would sit properly, nor mind.. what a terrier! Now, his eyelids are all skinless, fur falling off, blackened thick skin patches on his legs. I wonder if he has Cushings.. the blood test should at least rule that out. He's been losing weight pretty steadily too. In his heyday, he weighed 14, now he's a tit over 11. And we pack the food down his throat too!! (he eats just fine)
sigh. He's in James' office right now, laying under the desk, by the warm humming computer, in a doggie bed (they're pretty much everywhere.)
Thanks abi.

[rubypaleface]

Cards were mailed today!

[abi]

Yay! I'm excited to see them!

[abi]

Amerasu your cards came in!!! Technically they came in Monday, but I picked them up last night and didn't remember until this morning! They are fabulous!!!

[Meran]

abi, pls see my Grendel thread on news about my doglet.
thanks hon

[abi]

Thanks Meran, I will head there next.

Good news is that your cards came in yesterday and I am so excited!!! The trees for the swap are beautimous, and the glass cards are now being proudly displayed at my house!!! They are beautiful! Thanks so much!

[Meran]

abi, if you have some Museum Gel, they can be 'stuck' up pretty much anywhere that they are supported on the bottom (shelf, table, etc) and stay there.. These ARE glass, they WILL break...
I'm glad everything arrived just fine. I had enough postage on them?

[abi]

Thanks for the reminder about them being glass ;)

You had sufficient postage to my knowledge, no notice came with it, so I assume so :)

[abi]

Rubypaleface your cards came in yesterday!!! Yay! They are wonderful, really wonderful!

[Meran]

I've posted my text swap cards for all to see in the gallery.

[abi]

They are beautiful in person as well, but your scans do them justice for sure!

[OriginalYouth]

Sorry, I'm a slacker and never got these out the door, just go ahead and withdraw me so you guys can continue. Thanks!
Sarah

[abi]

Due to my great personality, huge ego, amazing reasoning abilities, and fabulous good looks OY has decided to keep playing!

Ok or the fact that they only need to be postmarked by Friday :)

[Meran]

yay! (don't let her off lightly) :D

[OriginalYouth]

yay! (don't let her off lightly) :D

Hey! Sneaky pair. It's not like I'm not doing 5 other major projects right now....including ONE FOR EACH OF YOU TWO! silly gooses.

Mailing my cards today...
ETA: if I can FIND them. I'm totally fired from swapping, I keep misplacing the cards I create. :( I can't find that blasted TREE card! Did anyone swipe it?

[abi]

I am the luckiest girl in this thread!!!! I get to see all your cards, including Hairlessbill's cards which made their way to me today!!!

Looking forward to swapping these out so all of you can see the fabulous cards in person, buuuuuut I do like getting to see them everyday!

[OriginalYouth]

My tree card is still totally AWOL, so I guess I won't be playing after all. We leave in an hour for the weekend, so I don't hope to find it. Sorry for the revolving door interpretation.

[Meran]

ugh. ugh. eh. meh. Can't we just wait? Or send some of them and keep others and get hers back into the mess?
I volunteer to have you hold mine, waiting ..

[adriayna]

Revolving door interpretation. Nice. I've never heard that one before.

I don't mind waiting a few extra days, for what it's worth.

[abi]

We are still waiting on another group of cards, so let us know if you get back from your weekend away and still want to play. I'm so flexible I will bend over backwards to have your text cards in my hands ;)

[OriginalYouth]

We are still waiting on another group of cards, so let us know if you get back from your weekend away and still want to play. I'm so flexible I will bend over backwards to have your text cards in my hands ;)

I'll have hubby look around and see if he sees it...or maybe I can make some more while I'm here! I'll try for that.
Y'all are so sweet to offer to wait, my cards weren't really even that good! I'll have a definite answer on Monday AM when I return; if I can't mail them first thing on Monday then I will run away for good and hide under a rock.

Abi, I'll still send the one I made for you (the African Mask) with your TipTops next week even if I don't get to play in the swap.

[abi]

Well life happens and OY is out, but Gadjitz has come in (well at least her cards are in)!!!

I will be swapping out tomorrow hopefully! Great swap cards from everyone! If I have missed anyone for i-trader points please let me know, I have been trying to get them out as cards came in!

Yeah!!!

[abi]

Just wanted to let you know that I am getting ready to swap, but this whole sick thing has really gotten me down. I will try and get them done tomorrow or Wednesday. I apologize for the delay, I hope you all understand :)

[adriayna]

Its ok Abi!

[Amerasu]

Yep, no worries! Even ATC stuff is no fun when you're not feeling well. Hope you feel better soon :)

[Meran]

that's okay girlie.. take a day, or two.. get well. And remember, WE KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE>>>
hahahahahaha
:D

[abi]

Alright, so I am starting to feel better and as a grand gesture of my wellness I got the cards out today. I hope you are all happy with the returns, I know you will be as all the cards were fabulous! Thanks everyone for playing!

[Meran]

I got mine yesterday.. thanks for cards from abi (prickly nature, lol), Gadjitszy (Hear), and FidoArt (whine less, breathe more-great advice!)

(fIDOArt)

[abi]

Glad to know that all your lovely cards are finding their ways home!

[abi]

Ok, so not because I am a i-trader point ego-maniac, but rather there are many times I myself forget to leave trader points, this is just a friendly reminder that i-trader ratings are a fun way to leave feedback.

If you aren't sure how to go about it, feel free to ask :)

[Amerasu]

I'm still waiting on my cards; no doubt due to Canada Post and Christmas!

[abi]

What a bummer :( I hope they get there soon.

[Amerasu]

Yay! Cards arrived for me yesterday :)

Big thanks to Abi for being a wonderful host! And to Fidoart, Swaggertoes and Adriayna for being amazing card makers. I love them all :)

[EraserQueen]

Are there any scan collections for this swap??? :D

[EraserQueen]

Okay i made the galley page..If anyone can give me images for any of the others who were in this swap, that would be great, because I have two card from two people in here so far...It would be great to have one from everyone :)
