Description:

This is basically an ATC but made of an altered rolodex card. This is a new fad that is starting and its so cool! You fill your rolodex with altered cards, you even alter the rolodex... i am including some links to examples below.

Swap: You will send 5 altered rolodex cards ( can be paper cut to fit a rolodex ) to one partner. Your art doesn't have to be flat, meaning it doesnt have to be just ink or paint on paper. it can have ribbons, sewing, stapling, tags, things that stick off the edges... it doesn't matter as long as it is a reasonable size. refer to links below.

*edit - recievers please let the sender know if you have a round or flat rolodex so they will know whether to lightly decorate the back of the card or not. If the reciever has a round file they may want the back decorated slightly so that it won't look bad when hanging upside down.

Also See my brand new group for rolodex art. http://www.swap-bot.com/group/1a59adab02f5a453e266497623af2945/about

Please send consciencious work. Be kind and send something you would like to recieve. No flaking. I will Angel, but there shouldn't be a need. I will check profiles. No recent ones. No recent threes. Newbies welcome with a well filled out profile. These cards are senders choice so you can start them right away that's why there is a longer sign-up period. There is a shorter turn-around. Please don't sign-up if you can't fulfill the alotted cards in the time given.

Have fun!
