Trash to Treasure X (TX) - Due February 9, 2019
ABOUT THE SWAP AND THE ENVELOPE OF TRASH
This swap is a mixed media collage challenge to create ATCs from trash items. Most of these items are items that would normally be thrown away. You will recycle these items into awesome art. You must be willing to think outside the box and use items in different and new ways. Each envelope will have a variety of items. Some items will be the same type but slightly different.
Each card must be 2.5” by 3.5” on a sturdy base. The card can be any shape within the size limit (doll, house or coin, etc). Each card must fit inside an ATC sleeve.
THE MYSTERY ITEMS
The envelope will have a variety of trash items and items found here and there. A sturdy base is required. Don’t use just use a piece of scrapbook paper. Back your creation with something sturdy.
~Use at least two trash items on every card.
~The items you use can be altered -cut, ripped, torn, painted, sanded, sprayed with ink, etc.
~Items can be used as a tool – cut a shape and make a print, use the item as a stencil or mask, use an item to apply paint or ink. Using and item as a tool counts as one item used on a card.
~Dig out your paints, inks, glue, paintbrushes, sprays, stencils, brayers, pens and pencils.
~Use the ingredients to layer interesting colors, shapes and textures.
~Do not make abstract cards.
~Do not glue items down willy-nilly without design.
~Have a focal point that draws your eye and is complemented by the surrounding colors and textures.
~You are encouraged to add items of your own to complete the card.
~Do not JUST use the trash items – Using just trash items is not the object of this swap - add some of your own ingredients to make your trash creation artistic and unique.
On the back of your card include your AFA username, real name and the mystery items you have used.
If you have withdrawn from any of the previous Trash or similar swaps, you are not eligible to join this swap.
