The Spare Goggles ATC Swap Group.

I'm getting started on the cards today.

I'm being boring and waiting til I know how many I have to make!

I'm just getting started.one or two cards,nothing big.
I'm just ing with excitement!
early bird catches the worm,and all that.

Anybody wishing to participate must make it known before midnight GMT on the 10th.

Today is the last day!!!

Just confirming, we make how ever many cards to give one to each participant, and each one is different? So I could paint a different card for each participant..?

yes you make as many cards as there are participants. so if we take there being 11 participants as an example number, you make and send 11 cards, and you receive 11 cards in total.
the cards you make can either all be the same, or you can make them all different, or anywhere inbetween. you could make 2 runs of 5 identical cards and 1 individual card, or 7 and 4 etc.

once the deadline for sign-ups has hit, i'll send a PM to everyone just to confirm what needs doing next etc.

Thanks for clearing that up Juxt!
Although...if there are 11 participants, wouldn't you only make 10 cards, or do you give one to yourself...?

Actually, now that I think about it, that might be really stupid. I will shut up and make 11 (or however many )

hehe, that was some of the logistics i was playing around with. it worked out easier organisation wise if everyone ends up giving a card to themselves. that way i have to compile and send 11 identical packages, rather than 11 carefully organised and sorted individual packages.
it also means that everyone gets a 'full set' and has a card from every participant... i think its probably nicer that way

just a little reminder...

you've only got just over a week to complete the atcs in and get them in the post

they need to be with your country's postal service no later than the 30th.

Mine are done (and to be honest were done even before I suggested doing a swap), just have to get 'em shipped.

I wish there had been a theme.
I've seven pics done, and am at a loss for ideas <bleh>

You could reuse an idea if you wish.. variations on a theme... you could even make them all identical. It's your choice.

If you want a theme, just use "steampunk." I'm sure no one would object to some steampunky cards since it's a common interest of all of us here.

Edit: My cards are sent! Can't wait to see everyone else's.

I fear I have fallen well behind schedule here.

I did something weird to my hip, and have been rather incapacitated for the past week and more I'm not quite sure when it happened, as it comes and goes, but it's been pretty bad this week, meaning I can hardly walk sometimes.

This has rather precluded my going to the darkroom, where I planned to produce some nice little prints - assuming the negatives come out well first.

I don't know if anyone else is in a similar bind, in which case we might request an extension, Otherwise I'll withdraw from this round forthwith.

I'm sorry to 'hear' about your pain and suffering. Get well soon.

I my self am only on drawing 8, and was hoping to cover some ground today.

I'd hate to see anyone miss out, and am all for an extension for the wounded Bear.
