Create original art atc's that features the "face" cards from tarot cards . ( Face = common tarot cards, the fool, the lovers, death etc. ) We are using alice in wonderland as a theme!!!We are building a tarot card deck to swap and collect.You could do hand drawn, or collage... Your choice as long as its not printed out or stuck on in a messy way. Just be creative. Incorporate different types of media. Go further than a pretty piece of paper and a cute rubber stamp. There are 21 common named Tarot cards , so i've decided to split the swap into 3 segments with 7 cards swapped per swap. you will have one partner to swap with. But you should have plenty of time to compelete the cards. If you don't think you can produce 7 cards please don't sign up. We don't want flakers. I decided it makes sense to use standard tarot card size if you prefer instead of ATC SIZE. It's sender's choice. Standard Tarot is about 5.2" X 3.7" artist trading cards (atc) are required to be 2.5"x3.5", or 64x89mm. If you are unfamiliar with the art form please review this: http://www.cedarseed.com/air/atc.html If you are unfamiliar with Tarots check out this link for ideas: http://www.tarot-reading.net/tarot_cards/major/00.htm Disclaimer:: Art is a subjective term, interpreted differently by each of us. That being said... this swap is not for artist trading cards made from a sticker, or an image of a tarot printed from online with a simple border around the card. People are usually offended when they receive atc's like that. Rate a 5 if your partner has sent you 7 atcs that features a visual representation of the 7 assigned tarots. Do not base your rating on whether you love the cards. International swap. You must have a 4.5 rating, no recent no-sends, and no shady activity to participate. I reserve the right to ban anyone I feel will not follow through, including people who only have ratings based on online swaps. Newbies are welcome if the private message me and have a well filled out profile. It will be a best match scenario for re-interpretting the cards to fit alice. and keep in mind this is just the first seven.and don't forget to put the correct tarot name on the front of the card!!! The tarot cards assigned for this first swap are: 1. The lovers ( Tweedle dee and tweedle dumb ) 2. The Magician ( The cheshire cat) 3. The High Priestess ( The queen of Hearts) 4.The Emperor ( The king of Hearts ) 5. The Hierophant ( The Dodo ) 6.The Chariot ( Tea & Crumpets) 7. The fool ( Mad hatter ) |
