additionally this year for our Sketchbook Submission to the New York Library we picked the theme Wanderer so we thought it might be fun to carve a stamp that is between 1 and 2 inches tall of a Wanderer. So if we pick your ATC for the month to be included in our sketchbook submission we can also use your handmade stamp on that page. This is just an option so don’t panic. It can be a really simple carving based on a stick figure.
The great thing about our ATC swap is you do not have to live near us to particiapte. You can mail your ATC’s to us ahead of time and we can do the swap for you. Please remember to send a stamped self addressed envelope with your swap.. . . and your name, contact information, date and the theme should be on the back of the ATC.
If you come in to the store to do your trade, we will have a technique based demo as well.
We have a lot of fun with our ATC swap and hope you can join us.
