What you are aiming for is a tiny ATC shrine memorializing the perfect pin-up girl. For this swap, any decade prior to the 1970s will do. Partially clothed pin-ups, please! This swap is not about nudes -- I have a great appreciation for the female form in the nude but that’s not this swap! Also, no violent or abusive images permitted. I’m looking for Betty Grable in her bathing suit, Marilyn Monroe with her skirt blowing up, or the light and fun pin-ups by artists like Gil Elvgren, Enoch Bolles, & Alberto Vargas. Vintage bathing beauties like the icon for this swap are perfect choices, too! This is an international swap and you must be willing to mail outside your home country. REQUIREMENTS: *Your cards must be 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches, and as sturdy as playing cards. You are making 2 cards for 2 partners (4 total cards.) *Cards will have at least three components -- your backing card, your pin-up picture and some other form of light embellishment. This means you can use hand drawn or digital components, but you need to do some manual glue/paste/tape work. *Embellishments can be glitter, additional collaged item, ribbon, flat buttons -- whatever you want to add. For this swap you do not want to send simply a picture stuck on a backing card. You want to spiff it up a bit! *Do your best work -- make and send cards you'd be happy to receive. *On the back of your cards (at minimum) list: your Swap-bot screen name, your location in the world, and the title of your pin-up. WANT TO JOIN? *Only rated swappers with a 4.5 rating or higher can participate. I will review history before assigning partners, and if you have a recent pattern of 1’s or 3’s please contact me to discuss. *If you are new or unrated on Swap-bot, first make sure your profile is fully completed. Then post in the comments section below where we can see photos of your work (Flickr, Craftster or some other site.) If you don't have any photo references, then message me via Swap-bot and let's talk. I value good communication from those who sign up for my swaps. If you are running late or run into any problems getting your swaps out on time, please contact me and your partner. | |
