Okay, I think I’ll do this one. I’m also debating on the ongoing April one but can’t wrap my brain on how it works :joy::joy::joy: more coffee is needed.

But I’ll be working on my questionnaire for this now :+1:t3:

I’ve never made an ATCoin before, so I’m looking forward to trying something new in this swap. Also, I signed up for 3 partners because then I have a valid excuse reason to make time for more art making :blush:

I’m curious, for those who have traded coins before, where/how do you keep your collection?

They fit into normal card sleeves that you can use for ATCs. Or the 9 pocket baseball card page protectors. So however you store your ATCs should work

I have a tea canister that some of mine are in. the canister is 6” tall and ATCoins fit in perfectly.

It’s not quite half full

I have a tendency to hang all art, no matter the size, on my wall. My craft room is quite colorful :smile:.

For a long time, I had my inchie collection + a few ATCs taped to the back (white) part of a roll-out Chinese Takout Menu hanging on my wall. I also had an ABCs inchie collection that I had sorted in order pinned to a nice piece of cardstock, placed in a frame, and hung on the wall.

I have less display space now, but they’re fun to look at, especially while I’m working.
