I made some Artist Trading Cards to bring to the International Quilt Festival tomorrow. The way I did it was this. I created fractal images using the program Ultra-Fractal. I printed them onto cotton fabric; then I free-motion embroidered them using my sewing machine.I made about a dozen, and I expect I will be able to trade them to get ones made by others.
Artist Trading Cards are small pieces of artwork that are the same size as Baseball cards. They are created for trading by artists and craftspeople. They can be made either with paper or with fabric. I usually prefer fabric ones. There are swaps set up, both in person and online where you can trade ones you have made for ones others have made. This will be my first time for an in-person swap but I have done quite a few online before.

Lucky people who will exchange with you!!!:) I have a few fabric ATCs in my colletion, but no fractal... A friend from Quebec City who creates fractals (she's very talented) sent me here! And I dont regret it! If anytime you want to exchange, I'm on Flick'r and on atcsforall.com ... But I'm most into drawing or painting or collaging... I will keep your link and certainly come back! :))))
