Where does the time go.

        8. I will post swaps received on Monday 25 September at the latest so you should
            receive your ATC's shortly thereafter.

            ATC swap numbers will be limited to ten people per swap.
            Founding members have automatic entry into each swap (but still need to
            confirm their participation for each swap)

            part on a 'first in' registration basis.
I do hope you will participate - any questions feel free to leave a comment.


What's an ATC?
An ATC is the acronym for Artist Trading Card.
For anyone new to ATC's it's a small piece of original work that measures 2.5" x 3.5".
There are no right or wrong way to create an ATC - you just have need to stick to the
measurements and the rest is up to your imagination.
