I finally got envelopes, stamps, and my parents okay~ so I'm up for trades!
my camera made the quality on them look a little wonky but I SWEAR they look way better irl!

3 1/2 x 2 1/5 ATC card
crayola colored pencils
pilet precise pen

description:
this one was partially inspired by "the house on mango street" and I drew this when I remembered the chapter, 'hair', my first ATC too!<3
Materials:
sakura pigma brush pen
prisma colored pencils
white gel pen
how they gonna get to you?
how else? through mail of course!
They'll be inside of a little plastic baggies(because I couldn't afforddidn't buy any card sleeves)
If I get any offers I will get to the local post office as soon as I can!
EDIT// Traded with Healer94~ ;3;
It's Mechanical Pencil and Watercolor on a 3 1/2 by 4 3/4 inches card of Watercolor Paper. The colors are far better irl, i swear.
It will be sent out in a plastic baggy, with no card sleeve.
NOTE: If you get it i might not be able to send it out right away. Roads have been flooded here and i don't know when i'll be able to go to the post office.
As designed by the lovely Gemma~ She beautified the WORLD and made a nifty banner for it too. She also made an Icon for the account~! :'D
GO GIVE HER LOVE.

I hope you guys enjoy the club and have fun! <3
What are ATCs?
ATCs, or Artist Trading Cards, are tiny little cards, about 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches, that artists draw/paint/whateva and then trade with each other in person or via snailmail. They can be sold too, but are then called ACEOS, Artist Cards Editions and Originals.
SnailMail?
Yup! Since all the members are spread across the country or even in other countries we'll have to trade via plain old mail!
So...I have to give people my address?
Yeah you do. So if you're not allowed to then you can't participate. ;~; Better to have permission then be banned from the interwebz forever.
BUT!
You have to exchange addresses in PMs or email, NOT IN COMMENTS. Privacy and all that stuff you know? :>
Where do i get ATC Blanks? And 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches? That's pretty small.
From craft stores! Hobby Lobby, Blick's, Michael's, whatever's near you! And don't worry if none of them carry ATCs, you can buy them online or you can make your own ATCs! Also be sure to check the scrapbooking section of the stores too! They'll probably have cards the right size or around there.
And this club is lenient on the size of ATCs. So if 2 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches is a bit too small for you then you can use blank index cards instead. :>
Sooooo...How does this work exactly?
After you join and subscribe to the account you'll be given GuestPoster status and will be able to add posts to the WORLD. In these posts you can say that you'd like to trade with someone, one person or several. If all goes well people will comment on your saying they're interested in trading!
You can also post any ATCs you may have done for fun during your free time and see if anyone else has ATCs they'd like to trade for yours. Or you can give an ATC away for free, like a raffle. :>
When you post please include what medium it's in, what size it is, and whatever else you'd like to include.
Okay, so how do we send these out?
Personally i put my ATCs in a card sleeve(any old baseball/Yu-Gi-Oh card sleeve will do for standard sized ATCs), then i put that in a plastic baggy, just one of those fold-top sandwich bags, to keep it dry if it rains or a caffeine addicted mailman spills his coffee on it, and put it in the envelope. And of course you need to address the envelope and put a stamp on it too. :D

Any other questions will be added to this later~!
