I have been faffing about after Kim(Drawing girl on Watercolour Home) suggested we do a mini ATC swap. The size is just 2.1/2" x 1.1/2", I really enjoyed doing them, and surprisingly they are just as easy to do as the conventioal sized ATC's? The one across the screen is a concertina fold out mini Atc. It is called "Ode to Friendship" and symbolises world peace by the hands reaching out and the Doves of peace. The rose is a hand made one by me. ![]() Poppy

Thanks Sylvia, I really enjoyed doing that one. The hearts are just about less than 2", so i found that quite good to decorate. I am pleased with the way it tuned out. I plan to do some larger heart concertins ones, but just 2 or 3 fold ones this time. I have to find me stash of stuff, I am SO messy when I am creating things!!! Poppy

Wonderful ATCs, Poppy Way too small for me, but then I had to give up painting wargames miniatures too
I'd likely to end up with bits stuck all over me instead of the cards ![]() Steve |

What patience you must have doing the fiddly concertina Poppy. My fingers would struggle.

Surprisingly the mini ones are VERY easy to decorate, the standard ones look huge in comparison. The heart ones are joined together with a fibrous paper to aid the folds and allow it to zig zag fold without being too difficult. Would anyone like to do a concertina ATc swap with me??? If you don't want to do a 7 piece one we can do just a 2 fold one( 3 pieces)??? That would be fun to do??? Poppy

Will do - maybe we could compromise and do a 5 piece one? I'm looking forward to this! Sylvia

Hi Poppy, just letting you know I haven't forgotten about this, but have been really busy! Will contact you again some time next week, hopefully I'll find the time to do one then! SylviaJust had a thought (it hurt, but I can beat the pain ). Does it have to be an odd number of links every time - I have something in mind that would involve 6, but could always add an extra one if uneven numbers are needed!
Just worked out that it would have to be an uneven number for the folds Doh! Sylvia
