S T E A M P U N K - The Animal Kingdom (insects, fish, fowl included)

Join me in celebrating the animals of our planet, in playful steampunk fashion! Grab your favorite non-human, and add wings, goggles, boots, gloves, clocks, gears, hats, flying machines, victorian clothing, etc. and/or any metal embellishments, or paints you care to. Steampunk lends itself to fun and imaginative, playful combinations. Use any historical elements to put your animal in another place and/or time in the past.

Card Guidelines:

* Each card must be a standard ATC size of 2.5 x 3.5 inches
* Send only original art, not reprints.
* Consider that any embellishments must allow the card to fit into a plastic sleeve.
* Send each card in its own plastic sleeve, with no connecting photo album sleeves, please.
* Please send in work you would be happy to receive.
* Make sure the cards are sturdy, and are backed if too flimsy.
* Label the back of each card with the swap name, date, your username, your real name and location.

Mailing Guidelines:

* I will pay for ALL return postage, whether USA or International, as a thank you for joining my first swap.
* Simply send a label, with your mailing address, with the returns.
* Please use only washi tape, or painters tape, so the tape doesn't ruin the plastic sleeve.
* Please leave I-trader for me, and you rock comments for your return artists.

I will try my best to return effort for effort, and media for media. When you are ready to mail, please pm me for my mailing address. ****** PLEASE PM ME FOR MY NEW ADDRESS

welcome! dithespy, spotted crow, carol, jenurebel, laffqueen!!

as an aside, i tried to consider the "memorial day" holiday, may 27, when choosing the due date. the summer holidays tend to really mess with our mail delivery! it is impossible that i am even mentioning a summer holiday.
