ZEN and the art
of ATCs
The 3 rules of 3
(very Zen!)
The First Rule:
1.
Quick
to make
2.
Portable
3.
Easy to
display and store. I store mine in altered books (I cut a deep niche,
and decorate the book to match the ATCs).
The Second Rule:
1.
Size
(strictly 2½ inches x 3½ inches – American baseball card size)
2.
Originals (no photocopies)
3.
Beyond
price (given away, traded, swapped – NEVER sold)
The Third Rule:
1.
Background (keep it simple)
2.
Focal
Point (something punchy)
3.
Embellishment (text, charms, ribbon etc)
