Okay, I would like to join. I should add a Kaikoura set to my New Zealand Naturally art cards, and this is a perfect excuse for drawing for it. I'm going to therefore do species that are found around New Zealand - the sperm whale, the killer whale, long finned pilot whale and maybe dusky dolphins. That's three dolphins and one whale, despite the names! But we'll see, maybe I'll draw a maui dolphin as well (it's a subspecies of Hector's) - one of the rarest sea dolphins in the world.
 
Kyo! Welcome! I'm honored to be your first swap here at ATCsForAll!!! I don't have any cards from Mexico either so I'm excited to see yours! If you have any questions or need any help with anything be sure to ask. We are a friendly bunch!

Lemurkat! Welcome! I love seeing all the different critters you come up with to illustrate! We have killer whales (more commonly called orcas here) in Washington too. :D
 
BryaAmirault! Welcome! Another new member in a first swap! This is very cool.

debs913 I hope you are able to find the time to jump in. The water is fine!
 
Evalila welcome! When people join that I haven't traded with I try to go through their galleries and see what they can do. You have some very gorgeous cards. :D
 
Paper should be thicker than typing paper. I use bristol paper for most of my cards. I use markers and they bleed through the paper and I want something to contain that a bit. I glue an information sheet on the back that has my name, username, swap name, card name, etc. which thickens it a bit. Some people use watercolor paper or cardstock or other papers. It is really up to you.

If you are using paint, be sure to use a paper that can handle the paint without wrinkling. It doesn't apply to this swap but if you join a mixed media swap use paper that is strong enough to hold whatever you are putting on it.

For my taste I like a card that I can hold in my hand that will not move if there is a breeze.


The site has a pretty good FAQ for new members. Also check out this post. It answers your question probably better than I did and lots of others as well, such as how to use the iTrader and You Rock! systems.
