michaelsbagley Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 The guidelines as quoted from Ransom back in the first or second round... This time we will be aiming for a "Lost" theme, or "Lost because of x weather" for the more ambitious. Please aim to have your cards ready and sent to me no later than March 26th so I can sort them and send them back at close to the end of March (some may bleed over to the first few days of April because of the sometimes slow postal service). Artist Trading Cards or ATCs, are small works of art traded among artists. The challenge is to be as creative as possible on a small scale. For more information on ATCs click HERE.I'm calling the ones we will do PTCs = Pyrate Trading Cards. The artwork will be the same as the journals—anything goes. The BIG difference between the PTCs and the journals, is that there will be no waiting months and months for a book to come back. PTCs are a one-shot deal. Here is how it will work, if the max of ten people sign on. 1. Each person makes ten cards, one for each player plus themselves — they can all be the same design, or all different. 2. You mail all the cards to me. Include a SASE for return delivery. As the cards come in, I will divide them among each of the envelopes/players. 3. When all the cards are in to me (I will set a deadline), and divided up, I mail them out to all the players. 4. Each artist then receives a packet containing one PTC from each player, for a total of ten. Done. From start to finish, it shouldn't take more than a month, or month and a half at most. You can display the PTCs in small photo albums, frame them as a group, or for those who have already participated in the journal rounds, you can add these to the empty back pages. So, who wants to play? And remember...it's a QUICK, one-shot deal. No waiting up to a year for a book to come back. So far we have the below list of volunteers (or voluntold in one case :angry: ) I'll be cat-herding, I mean organizing this round by popular vote (which means no one else wanted to ) 1. Patrick Hand 2. J8ksdad 3. Pew 4. Gunpowder Gertie 5. michaelsbagley 6. Ransom 7. Kate_Souris 8. Cross 9. Brig 10 Captain McCool And we finally have our tenth!!! Thanks everyone for joining in! Please aim for having them done and ready for March 26th, but since a few folks came in a bit later, we'll try and be flexible to up to a week if need be.

michaelsbagley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 We are still a go, correct? Yes, we are still a go... Everyone should make ten cards, and if we can't find two more folks to sign on in time, I'm sure I can find something to do with the extras... But if we can recruit hard over the next week or two to find another couple of participants, that would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain McCool Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) This seems like a pretty damn cool concept, all told. I'd be totally intersted in participating sometime. Maybe not this round, but definitely at some point. And I'd be really interested to see what others have done too!

Brig Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Sign me up again. :) I'm already struggling with the theme, haha. Should be a fun challenge.

michaelsbagley Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Sign me up again. :) I'm already struggling with the theme, haha. Should be a fun challenge. Awesome! Yay Brig!!! Don't sweat the theme too much, think of it as more of a guideline... At worst we are one person short for this round, although I think if we recruit hard over the next week we can find another artist or creative person to press-gang!

Captain McCool Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 (edited) Damn... tempting... very tempting... but I don't know if I'd be able to finish by the deadline. Not to mention that if by "Lost" you mean LOST, aka ABC's Lost, I wouldn't know where to begin, as I've never watched the show. But if you mean "lost" as in, "I can't figure out where I am"... well hell, I'm there already!

Pew Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It's easier to come up with a single design and replicate that over the 10 cards. If you're really creative, you can come up with 10 different designs. But most of all, have fun doing it. , Skull and Quill Society , The Watch Dog "We are 21st Century people who play a game of dress-up and who spend a lot of time pissing and moaning about the rules of the game and whether other people are playing fair."

Ransom Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 For those of you who like to use rubber stamps in your journals or on the PTCs, check these out. It's a girl who works out of her home. This site was just forwarded to me this evening. Pyrate rubber stamps ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Guest Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 For those of you who like to use rubber stamps in your journals Just for funsies.... It is kinda fun to carve your own rubber stamps.... all you need is an eraser and a sharp knife (exacto's are perfect) draw you image in reverse and then carve out alla the parts you don't want printed... (hey, it's easy 'nough to do...erasers are soft....) OK... they don't come out as crisp and fancy as one of the printshop burned ones, but they have a nice homemade look to them... (or something like that...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 That's very true. I have also carved them into wine and champagne corks. Still not real crisp edges, but a more rustic look. Kinda fun. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.
