Olympian Gods ATC Series #4: Athena

I'm going to be hosting a series of ATC swaps for each of the 12 Olympian Gods of Greek/Roman mythology. The third is the goddess of wisdom, Athena/Minerva. Here's her wikipedia page: [link}(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena)

You will make 1 card for 1 partner featuring Athena/Minerva. All media are welcome, but do a good job here! No just slapping a sticker on cardstock or gluing a button to a computer printout of some clip-art, and NO DISNEY. Spend time on it and make something you would be proud to send and delighted to receive.

I want the people who do the whole series to have a full set of 12 cards at the end of it, so the requirements will be fairly strict. 4.9 rating, with at least 10 completed snailmail swaps. Sorry, no newbies for this one. If you don't meet the requirements now, contact me. I usually hold private backup swaps for those who don't meet the requirements or miss the signup time.

Also, if you haven't been participating in the series so far or if you've missed one, feel free to join in now! At the end of the series (the Olympians anyway, I may continue into other gods and heros) I'll have a catchup swap.

Ideas for Athena: Goddess of wisdom, battle strategy, and crafts such as weaving. Owls are sacred to her. She created olives and olive trees. She sprang from her father, Zeus's head fully formed after Zeus swallowed her pregnant mother, Methis.
