Swap Due Date:
Part 1 Deadline: Cards In My Hands By June 15 (no flexibility on this one)
Part 2 Deadline: August 7th
Signup/withdraw date: June 15
Number of ATCs: 3 for 3
Number of participants: unlimited
** I will cover 10 internationals**
Media: Mixed (some HD required)


This swap springs directly from the inspiration of AnnD's blind drawing swap, but we're taking the challenge up a notch. :D
In this swap we will be completing ATCs using each other's blind drawings! How fun is that!?!

Please note that this is a 2 Part Swap! Those who complete the first part of the swap will automatically be enrolled in part two. This also means that those who miss the first deadline will not be eligible for part 2.
The deadline to have your final cards to me is August 7th.

Here are a few examples of blind drawing cards from my gallery. This is to give you an idea of where they start compared to a potential completed card.

PART 1:
  • Use an ATC sized piece of cardstock/bristol/heavy paper for each face.
  • Close your eyes and draw a face on each card using PENCIL.
  • They can be crazy and off kilter, but they should be something you think you could work with, okay?!
  • Label the back of the card with your user ID and slip it into an ATC sleeve.
  • Send me three cards and a SASE. (Internationals send large address label.)
  • I will send you back three blind draw faces from other players.
  • That will complete part 1.

PART 2:
In part 2 you will create finished ATCs using the faces you received. You can complete them on the card you received them on, or you can cut them out and collage them with other items onto a new card.
Have fun! Add character...embellish...create a story to go with them!

When you have completed the cards in utterly fabulous fashion:
  • Label the backs with at least your user name, location, and name of player whose blind drawing was used. We want to send these back to the player they started with.
  • Protect each card with an ATC sleeve.
  • Mail them to me with a SASE for your returns (or a large address label for the international players)
  • Wait happily at the mailbox in anticipation of your wonderful returns. :)

** ITRADERS should be given to the hostess and to each artist you receive cards from at the end of the swap! :)

Those who cannot see have now removed the blindfolds for phase 2 of the swap! :jiggy:

I'm so glad to have you join us JavaZarf! You don't HAVE to scan them, but it would be fun if you did. It's always fun to see where these creations started. :)
 
"Those who cannot see." LOLOL!

I think that in all of those not-seeing-swap-darkness, I just bumped into AKHotMama. Ouch! She has sharp things in her pocket!

Can I open my eyes for a second? I want to do a cheer! Because this ROCKS!
 
joy flower - I'd like to play! Quick question, will we be getting our original blind drawings back once part 2 is over, so we can see how they were interpreted by another artist? or are you going to re-mix them up and we get a total of 6 different artists work? (let me know if im making sense hehe)
 
Okay Ann, open your eyes...didn't think about the injury liablity there. :err:
I'll ship a PM off to novasmem.

Welcome Stephanie! My plan is to send each players "completed" cards back, so what you send as a blind drawing comes back to you as a finished card. :)
 
Woot! What a crew!

Welcome amyfaerie (who used her big girl manners! :wubclub:), CIndyjob, novasmem and Mymy! Thrilled to see you all here. :D
 
Oh Yeah........I'm.......here........trying......to....catch...my..breath.from running over hear so fast, I don't want to miss all the fun. I'm so outta shape... but so are my blind drawings.

Here's a nice cold glass of water. Just relax a minute.... glad you made it!! :)
