The first
2011 ATC swap (Artist Trading Card swap) is this Friday, January 28. The theme for the January swap is
"It goes with my coffee" and I have been diligently working on my cards. I can't divulge all the details right now, but I did have to do some R&R (reconnaissance and research)—and a little taste-testing (think
Krispy Kreme)— before construction. Here is a snapshot of the work in progress.
The local traders will meet at Panera's at Northgate at 4:30 pm. on Friday. I'll post photos of the cards I receive in the trade upon my return. They are either clever, funny or insightful and always beautifully and thoughtfully crafted.
This is
the third year I've coordinated and hosted the ATC swaps. (Happy Anniversary to all the ATC traders!) Search the
FiberAntics archives for photos from previous trades. Swaps are open to new traders. If you're curious, check
here for an overview of how the swaps work.
