Description:

For this swap, you will be making 1 ATC for 1 partner. The theme is Poison Labels. Make your ATC look like a label you would see on a bottle of poison. Some ideas for this swap:

-skull and crossbones

-victorian bottle labels

-vintage/antique labels

-warning/caution

-calligraphy

-botanical graphics

You might want to Google images under “victorian poison labels” for some nice examples. You can use any media you would like to use, just make sure you send something that you made yourself. If you are printing out something that you made using digital media (like photoshop), please make sure it is your own original work. Do not print something off of your computer that someone else made. PLEASE put some effort into them, or risk getting a low rating.

Rating: If you receive an ATC which follows the theme and is on time, please give your partner a 5. If you receive an ATC but it is not sent on time, does not follow the theme at all, OR is not original work, you should give a 3. If you did not receive an ATC and could not get in touch with your partner, give them a 1 and let me know.

Requirements: To join this swap you must have a 4.9 rating or higher with no 1s or unexplained 3s. I will be allowing newbies with filled out profiles and at least 3 sent swaps (not including type 1 swaps) because I know it can take a while to get those first few ratings. If you are flaked on, I promise I will angel (these should be fun to make anyway!).

Required Criteria for ATC: Must be 2.5/3.5 inches and on sturdy card stock, cardboard (etc.). It must be your own original work.

These are going to look so beautiful! I will be creating a group on flikr so that we could upload pics of our ATCs. Look for it under the “swap homepage” section.

I sent everyone an email about the postal strike in canada. Since there is only one swapper in Canada, and they say that it will be fine, I will keep the date the same for now. If you are in canada or if your partner is in canada, please confirm whatever plans you decide on. Thank you.

I recently did another swap with a girl from Canada and I got my envelope from her before she got mine even though we mailed them on the same day but we had no real problems.

This is my poster image. I hand drew this from scratch. You can see very clearly the COPYRIGHT watermark on this image. Here is my poster on my website here: http://www.madametalbot.com/pix/posters/laudanum.htm Please take this DOWN and do NOT use any of my posters for your projects. So NOT use Google Search looking for images because this is why I am constantly having to stop people from ripping off my images, here are many, many examples of copyright infringements because of sites like this: http://www.madametalbot.com/36infringement.htm

The graphic used for this swap has been removed at the request of MadameTalbot.

I thought that because it has a watermark it then people would know that it is yours. I am not ripping anything off because I never said that I drew that picture, nor did I try to make money out of it.
