Creative interpretation of rules

[eller]

Since it's not a secret I consider the creative circumvention of rules an art form*, I painted this for an ATC swap that was supposed to be a) still life, and b) at least two different (!) objects in the picture. So - these are clearly two different flowers, right? Right.** It was a lot of fun to find two clearly different flowers and portray them this way!

*as long as there's no damage done!
**clivia and crown imperial are not even related in the slightest.

Gorgeous!

Also, I've been meaning to ask you: do you have any recommendations re where to start, if one wants to learn about how to find and participate in ATC swaps?

Thanks!

Thanks!

Um, I mainly swap ATCs on a German site, www.kakao-karten.de but of course there are also English speaking communities around. I think www.atcsforall.com is quite popular. Also, there are some "general" swapping sites like www.swap-bot.com that also occasionally have swaps for hand-drawn ATCs (although they don't have any quality management beyond a rating system that at least ensures you'll receive something).

Thanks very much! I am taking a good look at atcs for all and swap-bot. :)
