Artist Trading Card Swap - Seasons theme

Artist Trading Cards from our bird theme swap

Hi arty dudes and dudettes,
Altered Book Club are on a roll with Artist Trading Cards.  I think we are up to our fifth(?) monthly swap. Artist Trading Cards are mini artworks that are traded among artists and friends.  My collection spans cards from around the world... would you like to start your own collection? It is easy and fun!

Bird ATC's from a recent swap

This month our theme is SEASONS
.  The weather sure has been a hot topic, well since before December with our unseasonal grey summer.  Perhaps you have a favourite season or a certain image or idea you associate with each season.  For example Winter Artist Trading Cards could have glistening snowflakes or wooly knitwear images.



Choose a season then make 15 Artist Trading Cards at the dimensions 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" and don't forget to include your series title and personal details on the reverse.  I usually suggest making your cards production line style with each card being the same or similiar but it's up to you!

Come along to Altered Book Club meeting Thursday 22nd March at 6.30pm to exchange cards.  You will leave with one of your own and 14ish unique cards from other art enthusiasts.


FREE to attend and beginners welcome.  Please phone 09 912 0665 to let us know if you are coming if it is your first time.
