Artist Trading Coins (ATCoins)

Artist Trading Coins (ATCoins)

Have the ATCoins made their way into your social media feeds? I love the idea of making ATCs into circles! Yay!

Supposedly Joan Hodges "created" or came up with the idea and COINED the phrase Artist Trading Coins.

So, who wants to give it a try?

The coins are 2 1/2 inches in diameter. They fit perfectly in the artist trading card sleeves or pocket letter pages. You can cut them out by hand or use a punch or die. Be sure to make them sturdy.

So, create a fabulous mixed media or hand drawn/hand painted ATCoin. Be sure to do original work (not a copy of your original work).

Check out your partner's profile for inspiration but ultimately, this is sender's choice.

Example above from Alie Hoogenboezem-de Vries blog

You may draw, paint, collage, rubber stamp, etc. just be sure to put effort into your ATC and not sticker slap.
