Description:

I am running the same swap in The Newbie Helpers Group.

♥ ♥ ♥ First a HUGE Shout-Out to the wonderful, delightful, awesome @piratecaptainmo for giving me permission to host this swap. She hosted the same swap in her group (Bug and Mo's Art Guild) except ran it as ATC's. It was a lot of fun. I think it will be awesome as a handmade postcard. ♥ ♥ ♥


This is a super fun and easy swap, that yields amazing results when done properly. So for all you "I just can't draw" people...this swaps right up your alley.

The ONLY materials allowed in this swap are:

  • Medium & Wide Point Sharpie Markers or high quality similar markers...(do NOT use a cheap imitation because the results will not be the same).

  • Sturdy White Cardstock for the postcard base. I won't put a size limit on the PC, we are all great swappers and I don't want to limit our creative juices.


  • Begin by choosing a dark colored sharpie (black works best) to make a series of loops and lines on your cardstock postcard. The goal is to create a lot of different spaces, there is no right or wrong.

  • Next choose any color sharpie and begin coloring in some of the spaces. When you are satisfied, repeat with another color, continue this process until all of the spaces are colored in.

  • The goal is to make a design with at least 5 different colors and have none of the same colors touching. However; this is abstract art and the end results is ultimately yours.


REQUIREMENTS

  • No sloppy coloring. Stay in the lines and color all white areas.

  • Sender's Choice...You can not rate down if you receive a postcard with a color on it that you are "deathly allergic too".

  • These are to be sent NAKED.

  • Write something about yourself on the back of the postcard. Make it meaningful...more than 1 or 2 generic lines.

  • SOS: Include Group/Swap/User Name on Back

  • Mail On Time...if you encounter a problem communicate with your partner (and me).

Questions/Comments/Concerns? Just ask

The ATC's in the picture are the one's I did for @piratecaptainmo s swap. But remember this is for a Postcard NOT ATC. I just used that to give you an idea of what the PC should look like

Requirement on line thickness or no?

Paige1900 08/24/2015 #

Honestly the thicker the outline the better it looks (IMO) however; As long as it is with either the medium or thick sharpie then you will be fine. Just don't use real fine or fine point. Does this make sense?

Perfect sense!
