Artist Trading Cards that is. We haven't done them for quite awhile and I've got an itch to do them!

I'll volunteer to wrangle unless someone else really wants to wrangle and do something else.

Sorry I'm not familiar with these. Should I just google or will someone be kind enough to explain them to me?

They are about the size of a business card and you do artwork on them.
Yes, googling it would give you a good idea of what they are.
Artist trading cards are 2 1⁄2 by 3 1⁄2 inches

Oh, thank you! My art abilities are limited and restricted to stick people! Could I draw stick people in various postions and then write famous quotes by famous people?

An example might be......A stick person bending over and the quote of Joan River's "If God wanted us to bend over, he would of put diamonds on the ground"

I would love to do some ATCs but can we stretch it out a little bit? This project isn't 100% over yet.

We tend to leave religion and religious icons out of it, plus that's a lot of text.

Simple is good. Don't overthink things.

Breathless · 04-19-2018, 08:12 PM

I vote ... YES! And YES for nanners to wrangle. I would like the information/sign up sooner than later with maybe a generous amount of time to complete?!?

I think I can get them to you by Wednesday next week. With any luck, maybe I can even finish the rest over the weekend so you'll have them all. I'll let you know by Monday.

Lyte · 04-20-2018, 04:02 PM

I took a break on this last one! Feel free... if so inclined... to share your wee matchbox crafts! I'd love to see them!

I like ... POSTIMAGE ... for photo hosting... quick / easy, you can resize the photo there so you don't have to adjust/fiddle with anything on your cell or camera!

That would be great! That would still be within my time frame for packaging and mailing so that's perfect. I wish for you lots of creative and inspirational juju.

nanners · 04-21-2018, 09:11 AM

Gemme, I'll wait for you to give the go ahead on the ATC project before I post the official project, OK?

I did think of a theme, I would like it to be NATURE. That leaves a lot open to your interpretation, and that's ok. Use any medium you want as long as it fits on the ATC.

Here are the negotiable things:

Deadline dates?
limit the number of people to sign up?
Dollar amount to send to wrangler?

FireSignFemme · 04-21-2018, 12:57 PM

I did think of a theme, I would like it to be NATURE. Here are the negotiable things:

Deadline dates? More time to complete
Limit the number of people to sign up? Yes
Dollar amount to send to wrangler? Needs to be increased

nycfem · 04-21-2018, 02:29 PM

Maybe 7$ to wrangler, double if out of US?

The projects should be mailed on the 28th. Maybe hold the sign ups open until after that?

Isn't this what we decided last year? When did we talk about this last?

My memory is crappola.

I think you are correct.

candy_coated_bitch · 04-21-2018, 07:22 PM

I agree we hold sign ups when this project has officially finished.

Also, yes we did agree on an increase to the Wrangler for costs.

I read this as "I agree we hold signs up when this project has officially finished." I had to scroll down and see if I'd missed some posts. I was thinking to myself, "Interesting and exciting, what would the signs say and why." I'm such a dork.

Matchboxes found here!!!!!

nanners · 04-22-2018, 06:35 AM

I did state I would wait for Gemme to give the go ahead before I went further...I absolutely agree to hold sign ups after the last project is mailed out to us...I wasn't trying to rush anyone. I was just excited about a new project idea and wanted to share it and see if there might be others on board.

Did we talk about making out of country people pay a little extra? I just don't recall that but it really is more expensive when sending a package at the end! I want everyone to participate so I hope that's ok with Breathless who participates on a regular basis. Maybe she could find out the exchange rate and send the amount that would make the $7.00 here? Just asking.

That said, I'm so excited to be able to see what you all did for matchboxes, and I'm hopeful PurePisces was feeling well enough to complete her project this weekend.

Breathless · 04-22-2018, 06:47 AM

I currently send $20 USD, and the cost stamped on the package so far had been enough to cover it and some.
