Description:

In this swap you create an ATC for 2 swap partners (so 1 card to each partner) on the theme of Journeys, using the Altered Text Technique. You can create your ATC in any medium you like (you need to start with a book page, the finished ATC can be a print of your original work) - but please keep to the standard size of 3.5" x 2.5".

It’s both great and strange for me to see more people working with altered text. I first started using the technique about 15 years ago and in my naivety thought I had invented it!! I later discovered a number of other artists using the same method of working and became fascinated with Artists Books. I have really loved seeing swaps come up with my favourite way of working!

If you're not familiar with altered text, have a look at these (some are of my work, but might give you an idea of the technique)

Think about illustrating around your chosen text, maybe use collage, sewing, fabric, stamping etc etc.

You must have at least 3 mailed and rated Type 3 swaps and a rating of no less than 4.75, but newbies are very welcome too! Please message me if you don't meet the requirements but really want to join!

I will be checking profiles before allocating partners to make sure all is ok.

I will angel.

Thanks @agonysdecay - was so excited to see yours - had been thinking about hosting some for ages, great to see more people becoming interested in it isn't it? :-)
