For every one I receive I will send you one back (so if you send 6, I will send 6 back)
On the back of each coin you need to put the following information
Artist Trading Coins
Created by ………………….. (Your name)
..……………………… (the name of your blog,craft name or who you go by e.g Amethystarcrafting is my craft name)
Title...………………….. (Anything Goes)
Date...……………..
This first challenge "Anything goes" will run until the 31st August and every coin I receive I will show on my blog as well as over on my YouTube channel.
The second challenge and subsequent challenges will run monthly from the 1st to the end of each month and I will choose a different theme.
Card...…………………….. 1of 1 (or however many you have made 1 of 6 )
Why should I take part?
Well it's fun. Shares creativity round the world. I will show your coins on my blog and YouTube channel so promoting your name, and above all I think spreading the love of creative art brings joy to everyone who not only makes, but also receives.
Here is an example of some Artist Trading Coins to give you some ideas.
You can use patterned paper dsp, sponging, masking, die cuts, colouring, really anything goes as long as it will fit on a 2 1/2" circle.
Here is a set of 6 made from strips and pieces of white card which I coloured with various alcohol markers, die cut some butterflies and then added some tiny words.
I would be delighted if you would all join in and have some fun in making these little works of art. It is a great way to use your creativity in a small size. Use different techniques and styles, they make a great reference library to build up of different styles and techniques.
I've made a video tutorial which will hopefully give some ideas and get your creativity flowing and am really excited to start a swap/share that will hopefully span the globe.
Have fun and look forward to seeing your Artist Trading Coins.
