ATC: Self Portrait - Painting

This ATC Self-portrait series I hope to hold every week. Each ATC will be made in a different medium; Painting, marker, collage, crayons, printing, mixed media, and/ or any other ideas you would like to suggest. We have already completed the Colored pencil self portrait, and working on the Pen and Ink ATCs.

In this swap, you will make ONE ATC for your partner. The theme this round will be a self portrait. You can take or read the theme anyway you wish but it must be made with paint. There are many forms of paint, Acrylic, oil, watercolor, gouche, ect.

Additionally you must send your partner a small trinket to represent you.

TRINKET - noun 1. a small ornament, piece of jewelry, etc., usually of little value. 2.anything of trivial value.

You don't necessarily have to send a piece of jewelry.. Perhaps if you sew you could send a thimble, perhaps a coin if you collect those. something you hold dear? a very decorative button? your favorite crafting item? a charm? do you bead? just be creative.

The ATC and Trinket are senders choice, but please be mindful for your partners dislikes. You will have one week to sign up and one week to send out your little piece of artwork.

The ATC MUST:

be the standard size. ( 2 ½ x 3 ½ inches (64 X 89 mm) be on sturdy card stock, ATC blank or something similar. be something you would like to receive, Please show your effort! be a self-portrait. be hand painted. be accompanied by a small trinket to represent you.

Please be prepared to wait a little bit of time for your ATC's This is an international swap. please be aware of where your partnerts ATC will be comming from. TY.

I will be looking at all swappers, You must have a 4.9 rating and no recent ones or threes. However if you'd still like to talk part and bring up your ratings i'm willing to do a private swap with you. Newbies are welcome to join with a well thought out profile. I am also willing to Angel any swaps (but I KNOW you wont sign up if you can't complete one simple ATC)

If you would like to suggest anything please feel free I'm new at this and would like it to go smoothly.

HAPPY ATC-ing
