Inspired by Abstract Impressionism—Pollack, Gorky and De Kooning: Due July 21, 2017
Another inspired swap. This time it is the Abstract Impressionists! Pollack, Gorsky and De Kooning will inspire you with their action, colors, intensity and unconscious renderings.

Here are some of their works:

Make three different Abstract Impressionism inspired cards. The style and medium can be the same for all three or you can mix it up as you choose.

Medium: Hand-drawn or painted, sewing, origami, hand-made stamp, etc. No collages, stickers, digital or photography. Handmade art cards only. Check with me if in doubt about your medium. Make something that would be hard for you to give up.

Use your artistic skills and feel free to use your imagination and unique style. All cards must be original (i.e., no prints or copies).
Most of all---Have fun!!!

Requirements:
*All cards should be standard 3.5” X 2.5” and at least one layer of card stock.
*Cards should be flat enough to fit in plastic sleeves.
*Send cards in plastic sleeves.
*Withdraw early if you can’t do the swap, late cards may be returned if they can’t be swapped out.
Mailing and postage:
*PM me for my address when you are ready to send cards.
* Make sure your user name, location and swap name appear on the back of your ATC’s.
*Include your username on your SASE.

* International participants: I will pay postage for first 10 players. Please include a SASE.
*US participants: Include a stamped self-addressed envelope or stamps


Returns: When you receive your returns, please leave itrader for me and rep points for players.
An extra card for the host is always appreciated but not required.

ArtybyTab--Another international artist. Love it. Feel free to post what you make
redplantlady--You are in. Wow! the international artists are growing. Awesome.
 
Hope you join us

Lurking for now. Saw a really cool exhibit of Helen Frankenthaler's work last year. And I got some new paints for my birthday.

Hope you get to use your new paints and inspiration to jump in. We have been on this site for a long time but don't think we have ever crossed paths. Look forward to that.
