NATIONAL BIRDS: A HD/HP ATC Swap due May 25th RETURNS SENT 5/24
Mailing Date for US Players: May 21st
Mailing Date for International Players: May 11h
Number of Cards – 3:3
Number of Participants: 20
Media: Hand drawn/hand painted - realistic, cartoony, stylized, whatever!
This is my second swap, so I have a limited number that can participate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_national_birds
This is a swap about the beautiful birds that represent different countries. You can portray the bird of your country of origin, of where you live right now or have visited, of the country of origin of one of your relatives, or even just a country you choose for no particular reason. Please, just countries. I may follow up with a swap for state/province/regional birds later, depending how this goes!
If your country does not have a particular bird associated with it as an official "national bird", than any typical or native bird will work too!
To sign up for this swap:
1) Please post to this thread
2) State which country’s bird you’ll be illustrating
3) The name of the bird
4) Why you chose that bird
5) Take a look at the sign-up list before you post; it would be nice to limit any one bird to 3 players or less.
Make 3 cards of the same bird, but make each card at least slightly different. Please put time and effort into your cards. Imagine that you are swapping the card to someone in person; make it a card you’re proud to give!
I will cover postage for all international players. If you have a US dollar to send, it would be great, but not at all necessary. I live in the Pacific Northwest area of the U.S., so I recommend you send them from another country by May 11h.
Swap details:
• All cards must be standard ATC size: 2-1/2” x 3-1/2”
• Cards must be sent in plastic sleeves.
• No copies; original artwork please! They can be similar, but must be different
• Flat cards, please. No thick embellishments
• On the back of each card write at least: your name, your swap name, and the country you are from (and your state, if you wish, if from the U.S.), and the country your bird represents.
• U.S. Players: send a SASE. Put your user name and the country that your bird represents on the back of both envelopes.
• International players: send an envelope (4” x 9-1/2”) addressed to yourself. Put your username and the country your bird represents on the back of both envelopes. If you don’t have a return envelope the right size, just send me a large mailing label with your address on it.
If you find you can’t participate in this swap after all, just let me know!
Please post your creations on this thread so we can all admire your work, not just the lucky people that get your cards!
When you get your beautiful cards in the mail from me, please leave “Rep Points” for each of the artists that made your cards. I would also greatly appreciate “iTrader Points” from you!
An extra bird card for me is not expected nor required, but boy would I love one!
