TRADING.....ROUND TWO

2008-05-10T10:04:00.003-04:00

This blog includes ATC 131 - ATC 163. They are available for trade beginning on Sunday, May 11, 2008 (Mother's Day in the USA!). Trading is simple.

You must have a blog/website/Flickr! or other image account/profile with email/stitchin fingers page...some way in which a public comment can be left.

Trade one of your FIBER ATCs for any available one of mine. (Please, limit one!) All traded ATCs will be displayed at CYBER FYBER, January 8 - 20, 2009 at Gallery 80808/Vista Studios in Columbia, SC.

To make a trade: Leave a comment on the ATC you want...stating that you want it. Email me at cyberfyber@prodigy.net and tell me which one (use the number!) you want and your "snail mail" address. I will confirm the trade via a reply email. You send your ATC to Susan Lenz, 2123 Park Street, Columbia, SC 29201 USA. I send mine to you. I update the blog post for this ATC to state "Trade Being Arranged!" Please complete the trade within a month! When I receive your ATC, I'll email you. The on-line exhibition of all trades will be created by the end of the year!

Your ATC needs to be the standard 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", flat enough to be mailed in an envelope, created mostly of fibers, and have your name on the reverse.
