This swap is a tribute to William Shakespeare. Cards can illustrate a play he wrote, the Globe Theatre, a portrait of the bard himself or anything else related to William Shakespeare. The choice is yours.
ADDED BONUS
As an added bonus there is a thread where we can read and discuss Shakespeare’s plays. Participation in the reading thread is entirely optional and not a requirement for joining this swap. The thread was put together by mrubyjean for a few of us who are interested in reading Shakespeare and who want a little companionship as we read. The discussions will be casual, low-key, and not geared to Shakespeare scholars. This may be an easy way for you to introduce yourself to some of the most famous plays ever written. Tentatively we plan to read a Shakespeare play every other month. The link for the reading group is http://www.atcsforall.com/forum/showthread.php?38481-Sharing-Shakespeare-Read-and-Discuss!
CARD GUIDELINES
* This is a 3 for 3 or 6 for 6 card trade. Make three or six cards and receive the same number back.
* Only ATCs allowed. Cards need to measure 2.5" x 3.5" and must be sturdy enough to earn the name "card" (no floppy or flimsy paper).
* Cards should be be labeled on the back with your username, real name, where you live and name of swap. Maybe you could include a descriptive title.
* Each completed ATC should be in an individual vinyl sleeve for added protection.
* Please consider posting your finished cards in this thread and in the gallery. We all love eye candy and it serves as an inspiration for everybody! Let us know when you see cards that you especially like by checking "like" for a post or making a comment in the thread or gallery. When I swap out cards I look at comments made by players and try to give players cards that they like.
* A host ATC in the swap theme is appreciated and will be treasured, but is not a requirement!
MAILING GUIDELINES
* Please PM me for my address when cards are ready to send. I moved in May 2021.
* Keep the due date in mind. I suggest 7 days for US players and 14 days for International players.
* US Players: Please send a large label with your name and address clearly printed on it, and as much loose postage as it took to mail the cards to me. Usually one "Forever" stamp is sufficient for three cards. More postage may be necessary to mail more than three cards. Check at your post office if you are uncertain. I WILL PROVIDE ENVELOPES.
* International Players: Please send a large label with your name and address clearly printed on it. I will provide postage for the first three international players. Additional players please send $1 or a "Forever" Global stamp. I WILL PROVIDE ENVELOPES.
I-TRADERS and YOU-ROCKS
* I will give you an I-Traders when I receive your ATCs.
* When you receive your cards, please don't forget to leave your reputation/rock points for the artists whose ATCs you receive, and an I-Trader for me (if you like the way this swap is handled).
