SACRED HEARTS - MIXED MEDIA ATC'S
DUE JANUARY 26th 2008

** I am hosting the same swap at another site. Feel free to sign up for both if you are a member of both sites and want a different cross section of artists or just want more cards of the same subject***

There is a world of symbolism behind the shape of a heart. Let's use color and texture to create luscious images out of this simple subject.

Rules of engagement:

*I know I don't need to say this here but all cards must be 100% hand drawn/painted/sewn/carved/written/crafted! Please no pre-fabricated elements such as stickers or scrapbooking embellishments. Printed papers are fine as long as they are somehow altered and manipulated by you!
*No prints or copies. Only original work, please.
*Cards are to be any combination of media you like. 3-D elements are welcome and encouraged as long as they fit in a plastic sleeve! Please keep embellishments small (seed beads, sequins, string,etc) and make sure they are attached securely. If your cards fall apart, they will be returned to you!

Here are a few examples of heart artwork from the web! I'll upload examples of cards as I complete them!

Hi Kosmopooch.
Sorry for sounding silly- when you say 'mixed media' do you mean that you wish for each of our cards to have multiple media? -OR- people of all types of media are free to join?

(new to all of this- thanks)

kosmopooch

"mixed media" is exactly what it sounds like! It doesn't mean you are required to use mixed media, but just that you are welcome to do it if you want. Please feel free to use whatever methods you prefer!
Are you signing up for this swap?

Hey Kosmopooch!
I got really excited about this theme and ended up making quite a few. Is it ok to send in two sets of 3?

kosmopooch
01-11-2008, 12:28 AM
Sure, you can send two sets!
