THE PROGRESSION OF FLIGHT, Due August 23,2019
Swap Due Date: August 23, 2019
Signup/Withdraw Date: August 23, 2019
Number of ATCs: 3 for 3 or 6 for 6
Number of Participants: Unlimited
Medium: Any and all media and techniques are welcome
July 20, 2019, IS THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF MAN'S WALK ON THE MOON
It has been said IF GOD HAD WANTED MAN TO FLY, (He would have given them inspiration)
And man has been given plenty of thoughts, ideas, and inspiration.
Attempts to fly are not only in our myths, but are documented in Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and pre-history times.
Man has attempted flight for over two THOUSAND years. No, the Wright brothers were not the first!!
Kites, balloons, movable/warping wings, and gliders all pre-date gliders, as well as "airplanes".
Kites lifted man in China. Leonardo da Vinci had a 15th-century documented glider.
Balloons came next with hot air balloons, followed by the discovery of hydrogen gas in the 18th century, at almost exactly the same time that the Montgolfier brothers re-discovered the hot-air balloon. Note the French reconnaissance balloon L'Intrépide of 1796. There were hot air balloons used in the Civil War, and dirigible balloons used in WWII. There were steam powered and bicycle powered flying machines. There were high wing, low wing, and bi wing planes. There were jet fighters and flights to the moon.
There were pioneers like Sir George Cayley, the Wright Brothers, Lucky Lindy, Jean Batten, Amelia Earhart, Neil Armstrong.
This swap is about the Progression of Flight
* This is a 3 for 3 or 6 for 6 card trade. Make 3 or 6 cards and receive the same number back.
Choose your focus or timeline (people, planes, or historic events). It would be fun to "date" your cards within their historic context (Earhart 1932, Lindbergh 1927, Neil Armstrong 1969) but that is up to you.
* ALL mediums and techniques are welcome. Please make sure you add some depth to your cards, whatever style you choose. Your mediums can include, but are not limited to: paper, tissue paper, crayon, acrylic, watercolor, gel pens, colored pencil, rubber stamping, ink, newspaper clippings, magazine clippings, etc. Please do not take an image, cut it out, glue it to a card, and call it done. Color the background. Add some texture. Add more than one image. Make the ATC YOUR CREATION! I do ask that you send in your best work. Something you would not be disappointed in receiving if it was sent to you.
*Please sign up by posting to this thread.
* ONLY ATCs allowed. No APCs accepted.
* All cards need to be sent each in their own plastic sleeve. This is for their protection!
* All cards need to be standard atc size: 2.5” x 3.5”
* Please put the Swap name and your Username on the back of all cards. And please write clearly on everything! We can't give you itrades and/or You Rock! points if we don't know who you are.
* All cards need to be sturdy enough to earn the name “card” (no floppy or flimsy paper). If it is created on a single sheet of paper, and "flimsy", please back your ATC with something stiffer, or more firm, such as a cereal box. Just as important, check for cards that are too thick. Each card must still be capable of fitting into the standard ATC sleeve. If your ATC will not fit into an ATC sleeve, it is too bulky.
* Please confirm there is enough postage on both the envelope you send to me, and the envelope I need to send back to you.
* If you are unsure about mailing ATCs, or just may want to pick up some good tips for shipping, here is a great link.

* If you are inside the U.S., please include a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope 4 by 9 1/2 inches, with 55 cents postage, or one "Forever" stamp if trading 3 cards; or one forever and one 15 cent stamp (additional ounce postage) if trading 6 cards, OR if your cards are extra heavy or extra bulky (or 2 forever stamps if that is easier).
* International participants, if you have U.S. funds, or U.S. postage, it is greatly appreciated. However, since many of you do not have access to U.S. stamps, I will cover your postage. Please include a self addressed envelope 4 by 9 1/2 inches (10 x 28 cm), or if you do not have the correct size envelope, please include a large mailing label with your address and I will provide the envelope.
* I apologize for being so demanding about the envelope size, but the postal rates in the US charge extra for thickness. When cards are stacked, or overlapped, in (a smaller) envelope, it almost always costs more to mail. If you send me a small envy, the cards get stacked. When I use the 4 inch by 9 1/2 inch business size envelopes, I can spread the cards over the area, making a THIN package, and only pay for basic (minimum) postage.
* Cards are due IN MY HANDS by August 23, 2019. Returns will be mailed promptly.
* A hostie card in this theme is appreciated but not at all expected!
* Thank you for considering this swap! If you have my address from previous swaps, it hasn't changed.
* Above all ~Have fun!!!
