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 art works, the size of a playing card, often created as limited editions. The back of each card contains the artist's name and contact information. The idea behind the cards is to make them and then give, trade, or share them with others. This collection inspires with 1,000 original cards in a beautiful pageant of color, 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 newsstands, 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.

Customer Reviews
Lots of fabric/sewn ATC's
I was interested in this book because I wanted some ideas and inspiration about how to make my own ATC's. There are some instructions in the front of the book, it's full of good ideas, and it's interesting to look at.
I looked at this book in the bookstore, but passed up buying it because there were a lot of fabric and sewn ATC's and I'm personally not into that right now/yet. I prefer the painted/collaged/stamped type. It is a nice book, but not one that I'd likely look at enough to justify the price.
1000 Artist Trading Cards
This book is awesome! I have gotten so many ideas from it and love all the different examples. My students love to look at is as well. They said it is very inspiring and helps them to think more creatively!
Another ATC must-have
If you love artist trading cards, you'll want this collection. Instruction on various techiques is also given, although it's not always very clear.
I found myself dog-earing many pages, since I want to go back and try the technique shown.
There are a few too many fabric ATCs for my taste, but apart from that it's all good.
