Ongoing ATC Swap 2025 Gallery & Discussion

I think my kid has this problem also; she’s never liked eggs & complains about things smelling like them when nobody else can detect it.

I suspect most of our ancient ancestors who were figuring out what was food had a pretty different concept of what smelled good or normal than we do, tho-- living in a semi-sterile environment with modern sanitation standards really changes your baseline, as does having grocery stores where you can eat the same thing every day year-round.

Back on topic, tho! We are running out of month, and this month’s swap has been pretty slow… are people up for April ATCs?

  • I am ready to SWAP MORE TINY ART!!!
  • I’d probably claim at least once.
  • AAAAAAAAAAAA too much apocalypse/spring cleaning/chaos/BusyBusyBusy/everything is hard right now.

I’m loving all of the artwork! I’ve been super busy with stuff in my life, but I would love to join in for a May swap if there’s going to be one!

So we have one vote of enthusiasm & a couple maybes; I’ll leave the poll open for another day or two, but am leaning in the direction of taking a month off & coming back in May. :cry:

Last card from February has made it, after wandering the wilds of the postal system for over a month on its way from @TruGritty

For my simple ocher painting theme she made a tomato, which was both not at all what I had in mind and totally appropriate to the colors! :laughing:

I only had time to trade one card last month, but I sure am glad I did! I got the most amazing cards from @Mountains_and_Clouds! I absolutely LOVE this style. It is so cool.
The first card is of her current kitties, Calicifer, Quilly, and The Little Bell.
The Little Bell sounds (and looks) like a rascal!

Then she sent me this one that is fluorescent and glows in the dark of her beloved Monkey, who passed not to long ago. The expression kills me. He looks like he is trying to get your attention so he can run over and get in your lap. So sweet.

Thank you so much. I love these!

Eeeep! I received this super amazing card from @LindyBlues for my “moon on a string” theme!
There’s so much detail and thought put into it with the different layers, and the watercolor background(s) inside and on the back! I love it so much! Thank you!!!

(and one more photo in the light so more of the depth can be seen)
