Product Description

Product Description
Making artist trading cards (ATCs) is a hugely popular activity for artists. Originally a paper/collage-based art form, ATCs have caught on with crafters working in a range of mediums and are now just as popular among fabric and mixed-media artists. ATCs are mini artworks, the size of a playing card, often created as limited editions, containing on the back of each card the artist's name and contact information. The idea is to make them and then give, trade or share them with others. This collection inspires with 1000 original cards in a beautiful pageant of colour, composition and creative use of materials. The book also includes a special section devoted to explaining what ATCs are, how to get started and includes some exciting technique information. Curated by Patricia Bolton, founder and editor-in-chief of two of the most exciting creative magazines on the news stands, the book meets the Quarry Books mission of offering artistic and challenging new ideas to traditional paper artists, scrapbookers, mixed-media artists and quilters by merging paper, fabric and surface embellishment through experimentation and discovery.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction for beginners, 20 April 2007
By A reader (London, England) - See all my reviews
I enjoy creating ATCs (time allowing!) and often seek inspiration from online forums, mixed media magazines and books. As there aren't many ATC-specific books available, I couldn't wait for this one to arrive. The book includes some useful techniques for different mixed-media collage at the beginning, along with *some* inspirational ATCs submitted by readers of 'Paper, Cloth, Scissors' and 'Quilting Arts' magazines (both great magazines). On the whole though, I found many of the ATCs looked to be produced by beginners and, for me, weren't very inspiring. Personally, I much prefer a couple of other books I have which feature more ATCs from recognised artists and designers - Artist Trading Card Workshop (by Bernie Berlin) and Artist Trading Cards: An Anthology of ATCs (published by Stampington). Overall, if you're new to ATCs this book is worth buying. If you're a bit more advanced, don't expect too much from it.

3.0 out of 5 stars 1000 Artist Trading Cards, 11 Nov 2007
By CT "CT" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
I bought this book having seen a review in a craft magazine and as it was the first book I'd seen dedicated to ATCs I bought and and I regret having done so. Most of the ATCs are made using fabric and machine stitching which is I suppose to be expected since the author is the editor-in-chief of Cloth Paper Scissors and Quilting Arts Magazines but the blurb did say mixed media atcs but I don't this is followed through. Additionally there is no indication as to how the ATCs have been created - there are only pictures of the finished items. It's a lovely book to flick through but it dosn't inspire me - I much prefer Artist Trading Workshop by Bernie Berlin and Rubber STamping Artist Trading Cards by Jill Haglund
