Mixed media -- must include the use of punchinella
Welcome to the Punchinella Two Swap!
Returns Mailed ~ May 30, 2013!
This swap is a second chance to make mixed media ATCs and get creative with punchinella. Just over a year ago, I ran a Punchinella Possibilities Swap…and it was so much fun I’d like to do it again! You can find the first swap here ~ http://www.atcsforall.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20639
Punchinella (or sequin waste) is popularly used in mixed media work. Some people cut it up and use actual pieces of the plastic in their art and others use the punchinella as a stencil. Either way is fine…the more imaginative ways you find to use it in your artwork, the better!
Here are a site which has a good description of punchinella and how it may be used :

As long as each of your cards includes some use of punchinella, it is good to go for this swap. Your cards can be Altered Playing Cards, Found Poetry, Zetti, collages, have mainly hand-drawn or hand-painted elements, use any colors and feature any themes! (Examples below, all made by me.)
If anyone would like to join the swap but doesn't have any punchinella, please let me know and I'll send you a piece.

Can't wait to experiment with that. For now I'll tag this as a hopeful to play in but as soon as I have the time to create I promise I'll come back to join.
But if I find some time, I'll come back and play!
.. maybe you should prod me while we are at SeARTle!!
