Artist Trading Cards

Tweet

Recently I discovered a group on Facebook where people make small pieces of art and trade them with others: aka: Artist Trading Cards. Above is a photo of some of the ones that I have made, and a couple that are works in progress. I have made trades with people (rather surprised that they would be interested in my little attempts at art) but it was just recently in all cases or they're coming from rather far, so they haven't reached my mailbox yet. People in the group I'm in (I'm sure other places, too) do their art with paint, pen, decoupage, pencil, "gem" embellishments (a la the local craft store) and even paper clay. So far all I've been using is pencil, acrylic paint, glitter and stickers --actually there's one (I believe its in the photo) that I made with cancelled stamps. Artist trading cards are, from what I've seen usually done in a 3 1/2 x 5" size, but there are 4x4 " sizes and others that I may just not have seen, yet. I will be sure to show the ones I receive in the mail from swaps when they come !
