I am devastated by the news of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s (RBG) passing, and all I feel like doing is creating RBG cards. I have so many ideas running through my head on how I’d like to honor this brilliantly clever woman who was an icon of justice and women’s rights.

I hope you will join me in creating art to honor her memory.

1 - This swap is 3 for 3 or 6 for 6. An extra card for the host is welcome, but completely optional.
2 - Cards must be standard ATC size, 2.5”x3.5”, on sturdy paper. Each card should be shipped in a protective sleeve for protection in transit.
3 - Please submit only work that you would be happy to receive in return.
4 - On the back of the card, please include at a minimum your username, swap name, and where you're from.

Mailing:
• US participants, please send a large, clearly written address label and a forever stamp, or the amount of postage it cost you to send your cards to me. I will provide the return envelope.

• Non-US participants, please include a large, clearly written address label. I will provide the envelope. Include a well concealed dollar if you have one. If not, I will provide the return postage for you.

• Please PM me when you are ready to send your cards.

Returns:
• I will swap cards promptly when all cards arrive. Late cards will be sent back to the artist. Please contact me if there is an issue of any kind.

Great idea! I had to make RBG-inspired art in my sketchbook last night...

Lurking while I work on cards :)
 
Thank you so much for hosting this swap.
RGB was an amazing person and her death is a huge loss.

I'd like to join in honoring her.

Yay mrubyjean!!! Thanks for joining!

Monroy28, lurk away! I hope you'll be back!
 
Lurk away EatSleepWriteABook! I hope you'll be back! If you google images for Notorious RGB a whole lot of fun images come up that may serve as inspiration.
 
I'm there with you - totally devastated at her loss. I was thinking about just such a swap, but I always prefer to get most of the cards made before I officially sign up. Count me a lurker while I mourn, worry, and get some ideas for what to do.
 
All lurkers welcome! I completely understand the sentiment of wanting to do her justice. Making art is what has helped me process my feelings, and I have mainly focused on my gratitude for all she has done for the women who come behind her.

Even though I live in Georgia, I just happened to be in DC on Friday for a Doctor's appointment and was able to pay respects at the Supreme Court before leaving town. It is a whole lot to process and I am grateful that I have art to help me through it.
