Remember your first cautious steps around AFA? Learning how everything works, meeting your first AFA art buddies? Remember your first swap? Wish you could redo those cards with the skills you have now? Well here we go!
For this swap we’re going create some new cards based on the theme of the first swaps we joined here. You don’t need the specific name of the swap, although that’s great if you can, just theme is enough. If you can’t remember your VERY first swap, think back as early as you can. This should be a fun trip down memory lane and also a useful tool to see how much we’ve grown on our individual art journies. How do you feel your cards for this swap are different from the ones you made for your original swap?
Example: My first swap here at AFA was ‘On Cresent Moon’. One of my cards is shown here very bottom right. (Mouse climbing up to get the moon made of cheese.)
Rules
- All cards should be 2.5” x 3.5” on sturdy card stock or better.
- Original swap theme or name must be on the back of the ATC.
- All cards must be sent in individual plastic sleeves for protection.
- Send only your best work now please... how does this compare to your best work in early days?
- Please include username and both swaps name/theme on the back of your cards.
- Keep cards as flat as possible—cards with heavy embellishments will not be swapped.
- Jump in the thread and share your stories as much as you’re comfortable doing so.
- An additional card for the host would be a treasured treat but is in no way expected or required.
Postage
United States--Please include a standard or business size SASE or a large address label and 1 forever stamp.
International -- Please include a SAE or a large address label and $1 well concealed.
*Note: Please remember to enclose your postage. Cards without return postage will not be swapped.
(Sorry, but I recently had 4 players in the same swap forget postage or enclose too little. It adds up.)
