The origami ATCs are swapped 3 times a year - on a quarterly basis. The fourth swap is handled by another person, MaryAnn, for a much larger group (50 members) during the origami convention (to be held in NYC this June). There were no required theme for the December swap, but I noticed three dominant themes were used: Christmas, Winter, and New Year. The next swap was done last month of March, and the theme was Emotion. It was not an easy one, but I thought the group did pretty good with that. I also joined an ArtFest 2008 ATC Fatbook group hosted by Bee Shay, and picked up this book on April 2 in Fort Worden, WA. I took pictures (below) of the book "opened" with the cards still inside. All of the cards were taken out, and oops, I forgot to photograph (above) the book "closed" with the cards still inside. Two pictures above and below show the different images on the black sturdy cards. Pictured below are the cards taken out from the book above. The cards below were traded one on one (individually) when I was at ArtFest last month for three days. I am amazed and inspired by the wide variety of media and techniques used in these cards. &rew http://www.blogger.com/profile/00091737078501203562 noreply@blogger.com
