Alphabet Gruel: S, T, U

Swap Information

Welcome to Alphabet Gruel! This will be a ten swap ATCoins (Artist Trading Coins) series covering the alphabet.

ATCoins are exact 2.5 inch circles. The circles may be made with a punch, Cricut/cutting machine or by hand. Each coin should have a base for your creation such as cardstock, drawing/watercolor paper, etc. and a sturdy backing such as thin cardboard (cereal box or other product/recycled cardboard). The back of your ATCoins should include; The name of the swap, your username, and a date. Please consider sending your ATCoins in sleeves or other protective packaging.

For each swap in this series you will make three ATCoins (Artist Trading Coins) using three assigned letters, each representing a Halloween theme. The letter and theme must be clearly represented in the design. These may be hand drawn, painted, stamped, embossed, collaged or mixed media to name a few techniques. Please do not use stickers unless they are enhanced/embellished and of good quality. Please do not use plastic or bulky items. Be sure everything is glued/sealed to last : )
