[bluebird]

I claim lynx2lancer for tbd!

2 total claims ——2 in progress claims, 0 in transit, 0 received

I live in the USA.

My preferences:
— Hand drawn or hand painted are my very favorite (of all skill levels!), but please do feel free to do other styles.
— Please no digital prints or printed reproductions of your work.
— I prefer flat paper cards without 3d elements so I can store them in sleeves. If the theme you picked needs to be bulky (i.e. moveable cards) that’s fine too.
— I love glitter & shine, gold/silver leafing, metallic, glow in the dark etc.
— I would prefer not to receive: creepy bugs (things like spiders, wasps, centipedes), clowns, political, nudity/pinups, curse words or blood/gore.

Thank you for claiming me!

Themes:

• Botober — Weird but fun prompts! Please write the prompt on the back so I will know what it is in the future.

I’m Megan in Indiana, USA. I welcome cards from all skill/experience levels! Nothing political, preachy, Covid-related, or shedding glitter, please. I’m not a fan of vulgarity for vulgarity’s sake, but if you’ve got a great quotation you want to use with a swear word or something in it, go for it. (Except the c-word; no time for that.) I keep my cards in sleeves in a binder, so I appreciate low bulk, but that’s not a deal-breaker.

Here are my themes this month:

-Something for my TV Sleuths collection! Send me your fave, or I can provide a list of some of mine.
-artist’s choice
-adult merit badge
-time machines
-something inspired by my papercraft Pinterest board (but non-paper interpretations are welcome): https://www.pinterest.com/meganknoll/papercraft-inspiration
-found poetry/found caption
-keyholes
-currently reading/current musical jam
-misheard song lyrics
-robot unicorns

I’m Laura in Washington State.

Here are some themes, in no particular order!

• medieval manuscript style creatures (non-human, think bestiary) or lettering (Here’s a handy search for some of the things I’m talking about, but it’s not limited to just these: https://tinyurl.com/ybdun5rc)
• Pokémon (I’ve started a collection and want just one of each Pokémon; please check the list in the top post of my collection thread to see which ones are already taken!)
• Animals (shoebill stork, moray eel, octopus, other weird sea creatures, giraffes, degus…)
• Something to do with @katsuyukimoray, my plushie eel blog on Instagram
• Animal Crossing (Boomer, Nook Nephews, Flick, Gulliver, Gullivarr…)
• Other video games (Persona 3, 4, or 5, Final Fantasy (esp. XIV), Stardew Valley, Civilization V, Mario Kart, Tetris…)
• Seattle/Washington State
• Interesting word definitions/words that are fun to say
• crafting (sewing, crochet…)
• quotes from female authors (esp. Dorothy Sayers, Connie Willis)
• Osaka, Japan
• Renaissance England (Ren Faire type stuff)
• Anthropomorphic animals in period/regional garb and/or doing something interesting
• Board games (Code Names, Mysterium, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Dixit, Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Ticket to Ride, Clank, etc)
• Dungeons and Dragons (current character is a female chaotic good satyr sorcerer in a fantasy setting, but more general D&D themes are good too!)

I’d prefer nothing gory, political, religious, or NSFW, no shedding glitter, and nothing bulky, as I’ll be keeping my cards in a binder with plastic sleeve pages.
