I’m Pam, in Illinois/USA for the moment, enjoying my first month of ATC trading.

Allergic to latex, so no rubber bands, please.
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)
Quotes from classic literature (funny or bizarre or famous; 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
Mechanical/kinetic
Celebrating embroidery, crochet, or tinkering … or ATC trading
Puzzles (jigsaw, word puzzles, etc)

Hi! I live in NJ, USA. I have a huge ATC collection that I’m always looking to add to. Please no overtly religious or political cards. Also I store my cards in baseball card sleeves in a binder, so no movable (i.e. ones that open or pop-up) or overly bulky cards, please.I am glitter averse (though glittery/ shimmery ink is always fun!).

*Themes I’m collecting in all mediums, so do whatever you’re best at (hand drawn, mixed media, stamped, collage, digital, whatever):

-Australia
-Canada
-England/ UK
-mixed media with a heart and a positive affirmation (nothing valentines-y, please)
-quilting or sewing
-bees
-the TV show Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
-the TV show Pushing Daisies
-the Canadian TV show X Company
-the TV show Justified , particularly the characters Tim and Raylan
-the British TV show Brassic

*Themes I’d prefer hand drawn cards for:

-llama
-moose
-bear
-frog
-a whimsical fairy
-a whimsical monster
-Henry Foss from the TV show Sanctuary
-Detective Watts from the TV show Murdoch Mysteries
-The Hunger Games (prefer your own version of the characters/ scenes based on the books, rather than based on the movie actors)
-any character from Umbrella Academy (the Netflix series, not the comic book version)
-any character from the TV show The Office (US version-- so far I have Michael and Dwight)
