Let’s play with beeswax again… this time creating Artist Trading Cards and/or Altered Playing Cards, this time with a theme of bees. Mason bees, honey bees, bumble bees, carpenter bees, orchard bees… and whatever other type of bee you can think of.
They can be realistic or whimsical, and anything else can be included in your collage, as long as you have at least one clearly visible BEE in your BEESWAX collage.

Here are a couple of samples I've created:
Guidelines… please read!
* All cards must be standard 3.5” x 2.5”.
* If using embellishments, please keep them VERY light. Otherwise send an extra .60 in postage to cover the cost of mailing.
* Original work only - no copies or prints.
* Please send work you are proud to share with others.
* Send your cards in individual protective sleeves.
* Include swap name, username, real name, and country on the back of all cards.
* Please allow plenty of mailing time! Late cards will be returned.
Note that this is 3 for 3 only. An extra card for the host is appreciated but never required.
Postage:
US Participants: Please include a SASE with .44 postage, and a loose .20 stamp. If I don’t need the additional .20 stamp, it will be returned. Please include your user name AND the swap name on your front of your envelope. Please mail early!
International Participants: Please send your address on a self-stick mailing label (clearly written, please) and include your username. I will provide the envelope. I will cover postage for the first 3 International participants. Otherwise please include a well hidden $1.00 USD. An extra card would be appreciated but is not required. Please mail early – 3 weeks is recommended.
Please PM me for my address when you are ready to mail your cards.
Posting in the thread when your cards are mailed will help me keep track. And please consider posting your lovely completed art for everyone to see. It’s part of the fun!
When you receive your returns, please leave I-Trader for your swap host and rep points for the artists of the cards you receive. People like to know where their little artworks find homes!
I am an on time hostess and late cards will be returned. Did I mention to mail early!
