FAIRIES HAVE BEEN MAILED AND ARE LANDING

Hi everyone! And welcome to my first swap. :D
Theme is: FAIRIES

A fairy (also faery, faerie, fay, fae; euphemistically wee folk, good folk, people of peace, fair folk, etc.) is a type of mythical being or legendary creature, a form of spirit, often described as metaphysical, supernatural or preternatural. Fairies are generally described as human in appearance and having magical powers.

Although in modern culture they are often depicted as young, sometimes winged, humanoids of small stature, they originally were depicted quite differently: tall, radiant, angelic beings or short, wizened trolls being two of the commonly mentioned forms.

I think we can all use a fairy or two so let's draw them up to give us a hand. They can be whimsical or realistic, your own characters or an imitation. Any kind is fine with me as long as it's a fairy. :)
For this swap, please create 3 hand drawn or hand painted ATC's depicting a fairy or fairies.

Fairy rules:
  • Please sign up by posting on this thread. No PM's, please.
  • All cards should be the standard ATC size: 2.5” x 3.5”.
  • All cards should be sent in individual plastic sleeves.
  • Cards should be on a sturdy base, like cardstock or cardboard or watercolor paper. No flappy cards, please.
  • Original work only. Please do not make copies, submit prints, or create three virtually identical cards.
  • Please do your best work, nothing rushed or messy. Send work that took time and care.
  • Hand drawn or Hand Painted only please - no embellishments!
  • On the back of the card, please include at least: swap name,your user name, your real name and date.
Hostess ATC's (on the swap theme) are not required but will be greatly appreciated and cherished.:notworthy:
I appreciate those of you who want to share your materials, but my talents are limited to drawing and painting so what I receive for any other purpose I share with others. I don’t mind passing it on I just want you all to know I do.

Fairy mail:
  • When you're ready to mail, please PM me for my address.
  • I am from Slovenia, Europe so I'm pretty sure I'm international for all of you. :) No worries! I will cover all postage but if you include a dollar bill, I'll be very thankfull. :D
  • Please make sure you mail your cards on time. It takes from a week to 10 days for mail to get to me.
  • On the back of your envelope, please write down the swap name and your user name.
  • I will provide return envelopes but please include a big label with your address on. NEATLY PRINTED (hand or computer)
When you receive your returns, please leave iTrader for me (the host) and rep points for the artists.

If you sign up and find you cannot make the deadline for whatever reason, please communicate. If you don't withdraw and I don't receive your cards, I will give neutral iTrader.

Ok! Let's draw some fairies! :D Here is some inspiration from me.
