Mini Atc's And A Concertina Atc.

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.

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!!!

Wonderful ATCs, Poppy :thumbup; 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 :r :r

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???

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

:hug: 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! :huggy: :love: Sylvia

Just had a thought (it hurt, but I can beat the pain :r :r :r ). 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!

:groan :blink: Just worked out that it would have to be an uneven number for the folds :uhoh: :red: Doh! :huggy: :love: Sylvia
