Ongoing ATC swap gallery/discussion for 2022

Here is my ATC from @chameleonhound for a mashup of my Jaws theme and my Rocky Horror theme.

“I’ll drink to yer leg” comes from the scene in Jaws where they are comparing their scars from shark bites and others. It’s Frank N. Furter’s leg in the mouth! Hilarious!
Thank you, chameleonhound!

Jumping in midstream now that I’ve completed my other swap crafting!

Out of curiosity, do I understand the q correctly that we’re supposed to check in on this thread for each round we join? Somewhere in my memory is the idea that the guideline when we were on Craftster (at least, when I started swapping in August 2019) was that you had to have checked in on the yearly thread at least once. It’s not a big deal either way; I’m just trying to determine whether I’ve become remiss in my posting/am totally fabricating said memory. . .

You don’t have to check in again every time; it’s the same thread, so having checked in once, you’re already here. (Tho since it’s now also the gallery, I trust you’re here more often than that!)

Finally!!! It has been a while since one of mine has been eaten by the postal monster, but I’m glad this rendition of Baba Yaga’s spice rack made it!

I received this fun ATC from @Lynx for my personified inanimate objects with a mixture of a song we’re playing for marching band called “Brain Damage” by Pink Floyd.

The Baba Yaga shelf card made me giggle. “Hops” I like how each bottle is so unique.

The leg also sort of looks like the lamp from A Christmas Story. Lol. Great mash up!

For those who love ATCs, thought I would share this in case you missed it.

…and speaking of which, how does everyone feel about August? @Lynx can host again if people want the ongoing swap instead of (or as well as) trying mini pocket letters, or we can let the swap take a vacation until I can pick back up in September. What do you think?

  • Yay Ongoing ATCs for August!
  • I might join if it’s there, but meh, it’s hot out…
  • Taking a break sounds good to me.
  • I have no opinion, but I like ticky boxes!!

Recd from @irid3sc3nt!

House plant theme. She said this was inspired by one she has at home that is 3ft long! I love these plants. A form of succulent that looks so cool. Like a string of big l0beads.

And she sent a bonus!
It’s called ‘the last watermelon balloons’.
I love the background. It’s looks shiny like it was painted. The color is beautiful. Cool abstract idea.

Thank you!

Ok, it looks like we have at least 4-6 swappers for August, so that’s probably worth running a swap for. Have fun, everybody!

I received an adorable atc titled “The Many Faces of Wandering Jade” from @chameleonhound!

I love their cute faces! So many expressions! Look at the poor darling who fell off on the left side.

So cute! They all have their own little personalities. I love it!

The watermelon balloons are pretty awesome, too.

Just received a very cool collage ATC from @audity. I love it!

Where did you get those photos? The whole things seems kinda psychedelic with all the pops of bright color.

Thanks so much!

Check out this fabulous alternative acronym for ATC I got from @endymion! The inspiration is the playing card on the left, an extra goodie for me. :smile:

I love it! It’s like a landscape I imagine while reading The Martian Chronicles or something similar.

And the delightful cards that came too:
