Artist trading cards

Artist trading card movement started in 1996, when couple artists made thousands of little art pieces sized the same as baseball cards 3.5" by 2.5".

They told everyone who wants to get one, has to bring their own to trade. THey are fun and quick(usually - it depends on the technique, of course)to make because they are so small. They don't have to be done from paper.


I did some from fabric with some Peltex inside to make it stiffer. A lot of artists like to use vinatage look images, buttons, lace, charms.
