Number of Participants ~ 14
Medium ~ Hand drawn/Hand Painted only
This is a swap celebrating the animals you've never heard of - tenrecs, vontsira, fossa, coluga, etc (and that's just the mammals). No lions, tigers, giraffes or bears permitted!
Animals must be real species - but they can be (recently) extinct ones. And it's not just mammals - birds, reptiles, fish, frogs and invertebrates are all perfectly acceptable. No dinosaurs or domestic animals, please.
Each card must be different, but they can all feature the same or related animals.
Please write a little about the animal on the back - species, country it lives in and one interesting fact about it.
Now for the nitty gritty:
- Please sign up by posting on this thread. This allows me to better keep a track of who is doing what and also allows others to leave REP points later.
- I WILL NOT send you my address until you ask for it - this way I can monitor who has posted and who has not and don't get any surprises!
- I live in New Zealand. It can take anything up to two weeks - or longer, for mail to get to me (average is 7-10 days). Therefore, if your cards are not in the post by August 1st, they may not make it on time! I will wait a week for any cards in the mail prior to the 15th that have not yet arrived, but DO NOT post them on the 13th and expect them to make it in time. Any late arrivals will be returned, untraded.
- Please do your best work. Nothing rushed or messy and make sure all regular ATC guidelines are adhered to.
- Cards should be enclosed in a plastic sleeve. But if you can't get them, I do have spares.
- Please make sure your username and real name are on the back of your cards, and if you add them to your postal envelope, that makes things easier too.
- Please send a NEATLY PRINTED address label. No envelopes required - I just purchased a box of 500, so I'm set for a while. If I deem your handwriting is too messy, I'll copy it myself, but I'd prefer not to - I'd rather be drawing than writing out addresses!
- Loose stamps, $1 US or International Reply Coupons will be greatly appreciated. They are not necessary, but will help ease my burden of postage. The reason numbers are limited is because posting from NZ to anywhere else in the world is rather expensive.
- Hostess ATCs are greatly appreciated. Other bribes accepted too. Please no ephemera or craft scraps however, as I personally illustrate more than other crafts.
So, who are our zoologists?

13. MelanieS (postd 8/8)
Those in blue have had their returns arrive back at their destination,
PS: If you are unsure whether your animal is obscure enough, ask several random strangers or friends "what's an X?" And if 2/3 say "what?" then it's likely obscure enough for this swap. Basically, unless it's something that you see in pretty much every zoo in the world and that every 5 year old child can name, I'll likely let you away with it. If you're unsure, send me a PM.
