Anything you desire! Hand painted/Hand Drawn SWAP - August 10, 2012

[SunTrade]

Swap Due Date: August 10. 2012
Number of Cards: 3 for 3; or 6 for 6
Number of participants: Open
Medium: Hand Drawn or Hand painted ONLY.

For this swap make 3 or six cards of whatever you feel like drawing or painting. Your imagination is the limit! The only requirement is that they are hand drawn or hand painted. Perhaps there are cards in your gallery that you are still wondering have not been snatched! Please just send quality work.

Things to remember …
• Shipping: Please send a SASE envelope (business size please) with a minimum of .45 cents, or .65 if you are sending six cards for US residents. I will mail the cards the amount of postage you send. Internationals please send a stamp from your country for the same amount it cost you to ship your cards that I can use to send in another swap in your country, or I can accept a dollar via PayPal, or cash.
• Make sure your cards are the standard 3.5 x 2.5 size and properly secured in individual sleeves. I prefer you do not tape your cards, but if you must, please use very little.
• If you need to withdraw just let me know a week prior withdrawal date.
• Please remember to clearly write your username and the swap name on the back of all your cards, so you can get you rock points, and on the back of your mailing envelope. Please remember to do the back of the envelope, as I have entered many swaps, and I am constantly receiving returns.
• An extra card for the swap host is greatly appreciated but is not required.

I will give trader feedback when I receive your cards, and will also update this post showing that your cards have arrived. In return I encourage you to give iTrader host feedback for me when you receive your swap returns, and you rock points for the artists whose cards you receive.

Above all have fun!!

Certainly! Only thing if anyone is using graphite, charcoal, or soft pastels, remember to seal your work!

[SunTrade]

Welcome art_junkie and lafaver55 !

[CynthiaSillitoe]

Am I the only one who can't decide what to draw? :)

A lot of people are always asking what do I paint? And I tell them to use the painting ideas machine ... have you ever checked it out?

http://painting.about.com/od/inspiration/l/bl-Painting-Ideas-Machine.htm


I'll check that out. I may try some elephants or some flowers. Those are always favorites. It's just funny because I've been signing up for hd swaps thinking..."Ok, now I have to draw that" and now I'm kind of like....hmm...but something will occur to me!

Jo I am so happy you join us!!!!!!

[CynthiaSillitoe]

Ok, these are finally going in the mail tomorrow. They've been done for awhile, but kept getting bumped out of "need to be scanned" order by athons and such. And, I must say, for Fridas, they've been pretty patient about it. :) Also, SunTrade, I hope your letter carrier doesn't start looking at you curiously as you get envelopes with "anything you desire" written on them. :)

[Idolores]

This is harder than I thought I can do anything yet I can't seem to think ok anything.

[sasjhwa]

If you need ideas start with the interests you list on your profile. If those don't inspire you look at the interests on the hosts profile. :D You could also do a search for "100 atc themes" (there are so many of them) and find something on one of them that inspires you. Here is one for example. http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=156173.0/

[RachelMarie]

Will

Will you leave trade for me or the host. If you go to the profile of the host, on the right side there is a tab that says submit iTrader. For the cards you receive you find the person on this thread, and on the bottom right corner there is a tab that says "you rock" click on that and a window will open where you can leave rep points. Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, please let me know!

[Milnie]

Wow, my cards already came in! Thank you for the cards Miss, Gaia Luv and Nadia (Magichunter/Spirit Soul) And many thanks to you Suntrade for hosting the swap!
