Description:

You will have one [1] partner to whom you will send one [1] ATC. The ATC is themed "Every Ribbon Tells a Story" this is for ATC making. Make an ATC you yourself will be proud of to recieve. The first requirement is that the ATC must have any cancer colored ribbon "art" to promote awareness.. Please make sure you sign the back of the card with your name, Swap bot user name, date and the name of the Swap.

For those first time swappers. Artist trading cards (or ATCs) are miniature works of art about the same size as modern baseball cards, or 2+1Γ’Ββ€ž2 by 3+1Γ’Ββ€ž2 inches (small enough to fit inside standard card-collector pockets, sleeves or sheets.The ATC movement developed out of the mail art movement and has its origins in Switzerland. Cards are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc.), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc.), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc.) or even metals or cloth. The cards are usually traded or exchanged.

I will allow non-rated users, because I was once a newbie and I know how hard it is to begin your ratings, but if you sign up please follow through with your commitment as well as adhering to Swap-Bot rules. And that goes for all others who sign up, please and thank you.

You are welcome to send other stuff in your envelope as suprises are nice and could generate you a well earned heart. Second requirement is that you write them a note or letter telling them why you chose to create this color of ribbon and the meaning of your ATC "art".

I am making this an International swap. You will have 2 weeks to create your ATC.

I reserve the right to ban those swappers that have flaked upon someone or has the history of such behavior. However, I would not understand why anyone would want to do such a thing.

If you got questions, please email.

Can the ribbon be for something other than cancer, like suicide prevention?

You bet you...It's your art and your story. Hope you join us:)

What color is the suicide prevention ribbon? I might consider that one, too.

I googled it. Here is a great sight that lists all the ribbons and their causes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofawareness_ribbons
