Welcome to the Farmgirls ATC Swap!
July is the month for honoring all things Patriotic as we celebrate the freedoms we enjoy in our daily pursuits of life, liberty and happiness.
For the month of July 2019 lets have an ATC swap with the theme "STARS AND STRIPES". The color theme is PATRIOTIC in your favorite shades of red, white and blue.
If you want an extra challenge this month include some type of VINTAGE TEXTILE in your creation - think fabric, lace, felt, ribbons......
Make one ATC card or ATC coin for your partner using any theme, colors or mediums that you wish. Be creative, try something new, and most of all have fun! Of course if this theme doesn't suit you feel free to create something that you like instead.
Signups are open thru June 20th. Partners will be posted on June 21st. Mail out deadline will be July 30th. I have opened this swap earlier this month for those farmgirls who like to send out their ATC's in time for their partner to enjoy them on the 4th of July.
If you have any fun ideas or suggestions for swaps or themes please share so we can keep this swap fresh and exciting for all to enjoy.
For those who are new to ATC Cards here is what it's all about:
Artist trading cards (ATCs) are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: 2.5" x 3.5". Artist Trading Cards are the same format as modern trading cards (hockey cards or baseball cards). Alternately you may choose to use a round ATC Coin of 2.5" diameter. They are self-made unique works or small series, signed and dated on the reverse by the artist/producer, exchanged and collected by the people who participate in the collaborative performance.
Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are a conceptual art project initiated by the Swiss artist M. Vanci Stirnemann. He called it a Collaborative Cultural Performance. In 1997 he created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. The movement took off, and today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world as well as right here on Mary Janes Farm!
You can make ATCs with many different media including paper, fabric, felt, metal, wood, clay, paint, stamps, embellishments and more. There are tons of ideas and inspiration available online if you google ATC or Artist Trading Cards.
Happy creating Farmgirls! Thanks for joining this swap!
Cheers! ~ Marilyn

You are very welcome Darlene. Yes -- I made the soap; it's my summer hobby. Altoid tins are great for holding pins and bobbins and all kinds of little things.
The class I'm taking in Fortuna is Boro stitching at April Sproule's studio. Boro is an old form of Japanese mending that an be quite decorative.

Love all the Red, White And Blue to celebrate America's birthday!
Marilyn Edlund, I have 10 years of craft stuff. I collected minitures since the 1970's. I have given a lot away. I am using them in my 3D Atc's along with the parts I make.

This is the ATC that Debora made for me. It is so cute, so American!!! She also sent four patriotic straws, a box of All American Cracker Jacks, and some chocolate kisses.
Now I'm sure you can guess what happened to the food, and I put the straws in a safe place, so they missed the photo op!! I love the little bags too! Thank you Deborah. Thank you.
You should be receiving yours on Monday.

I am right there with ya. Here on Texas it is miserable and hot flashes are rampant. We need winter to hurry along.

I received my goodies from Darlene. I love it all; that fan is so COOL (pun intended). It is perfect for a farm girl of a certain age living in the central valley. Hot flashes plus 100 degree weather is no fun. Thank you for everything!
 
I took yours to the post office this morning so you should be getting it soon. I noticed you live in Loleta; I'm taking a class in Fortuna in August.
Enjoy life,
Judith

I'm glad you like it Connie. It was fun to make using supplies I already had in the house. I'm really focusing on trying to use what I already own instead of constantly buying more stuff.
What a lovely ATC you received Kelly! Truth be told....I am a little bit jealous of the sticker book....I collected stickers very seriously when I was a kid and I still have a really bad obsession for them to this day....
