I’m Pam, currently in Illinois, and new to ATCs.

Allergic to latex, so no rubber bands.
Prefer no gory/creepy/bloody (vintage Halloween is ok) or NSFW. No shedding glitter, please - it makes DH go insane.

Theme ideas:

Artist’s choice
Self-portrait of you
Windows or doors
An image from one of your dreams (but nothing scary from nightmares, please)
Virtues/positive humankind (kindness, forgiveness/mercy, hope, friendship, love, courage, etc)
Animals (real or made-up; I’m especially fond of rabbits, birds, and cats, but don’t have to stick to those)
Food (sweets OR fruits OR veggies, etc)
Contrast/dichotomy (for example sun/moon, inside/outside, high/low)
Quotes from classic literature (funny or bizarre or typical; anything is ok)
Optical Illusions or color theory
Fascinating people I’ve likely never heard of before
Letterpress
Text
Botany/nature
Homage to specific artists or artistic styles

I claim endymion for tbd!

5 total claims —— 5 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.

• Autumny scene
• Pumpkins
• pretty tea cups or coffee mugs

  • 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…)
