Ask Anissa: What are ATC's: Artist Trading Cards?
Question: What are ATC's? Or, What are Artist Trading Cards? I get this question so often, and typically just refer to an older article that I wrote, but, I wanted to shake it up a little here, and do some old and new stuff. This Answer is for all of you who have asked me recently what ATC's are.
Answer: ATC's are such wonderful little pieces of art, and it seems that just in the last few months more and more people are becoming aware of artist trading cards. I have written about this form of art several times, my most visited and remembered article was one that I syndicated on my good friend Melissa's website, CraftyPlaces.com. Since that time, artists, manufacturers and other hobbyists have taken this art form and followed its most well known and popular form, and others have taken it to other artsy forms. Many artists are using paper while you may find quite a few that are using fabric and fibers and all other mixed media types.
I have written on several of these different types of what are actually ATC's but, in the artists art form. I will be writing more on this subject, as time goes, as this is one of my favorite crafts/hobbies/arts and very interesting art forms. I have just purchased the ACEO below, and hope to be receiving it very soon!
