Hello to all my crafty Swap-Bot friends,
This is an ATC Swap inspired by the artwork of John W Waterhouse.
For this swap we will have 1 partner and will be creating 2 ACTs for them. Each ATC you will choose a painting by JW Waterhouse as the central element/theme. How you do this is completely up to you, the sender, you can collage, draw, paint, stamp, etc... Each ATC is to be hand-made by you, and created using the ATC guidelines (for size etc)... Also to be included in this swap is a note explaining to your partner what you like about Waterhouse and why you chose the piece of artwork you chose. It doesn't have to be a long note, but let's write a bit more then, "I think he's a good painter and this painting is may favorite."
Please use sturdy materials for creating your ATCs and remember that these are miniature works of ART, they should not be a sticker slapped piece of paper or a few printed pictures glued randomly to a trading card. Please make something that you are proud to send, and proud to put your name on, and remember to include your information on the back...
*the ATC title
*the title of the swap
*the date the ATC was created
*your real name
*your swap bot name
*your contact info (an email address, etc.)
*and please include the city, state and country you live in...
To join this swap you must have a rating of 4.9 or higher with no 1s or 3s in the last 3 months. If you do not qualify to join and yet would like to please please please contact me (I don't bite and I am sure we can work something out). Because these are ATCs they should not cost that much to mail, therefore this is going to be an international swap. Please contact me if the cost of postage is the only reason you are not joining (if enough people contact me with this concern I will create a US only version).
I feel like it is silly for me to have to say this but I will anyway: ABSOLUTELY NO FLAKING!!! if you cannot meet the requirements for the swap, drop out, or at the very least contact me or your partner, if you flake for a swap I coordinate, I will ban you from any swap I host in the future. If for some odd reason someone is flaked on I will angel.
About rating: art is a subjective thing and we all have different tastes and preferences, therefore, if your partner sends you your 2 ATCs both with a Waterhouse painting as their central theme and they are sent out on or before the deadline, that is a 5...
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding this swap.
Have fun and enjoy, now let's get creative!!!
