Owl ATC....With A Twist

Are you sending two ATCs to each of two partners or one ATC to each of two partners?

Sorry Its 1 per partner.....I'll fix that now....thanks for letting me know

So the atc has to be shaped as an owl as well?

yes it must be shaped like an owl. You can find patterns online for some or if you email me I will forward you 1 or 2

So the ATC is not a standard 2.5x3.5?

Maybe you could add to the headline/swap name something like "...with a twist". I just received owl-atc, that had to have piece of wood on it, and my partner did not remember that and had to send another. I think it is easier for all participants, when there stands something in the name that makes you to re-read the instructions. And yes, we should always read the inst. carefully and couple of times, but this is easy way to avoid trouble.

thank you Popcornikippu1.... i'll do that

And Yes the card still has to be standard size just cut into an owl shape.

Got a link to the owl pattern? or doesn't it matter which we use?

you can use any pattern you want or even make a pattern of your own as long as at some point the card measures 2.5x3.5

ok-Gotcha. I'm in !!

@user8179 I read the instructions carefully and I did not get "shape" to mean a cut-out. I generally accept that ATC 2.5 x 3.5 is rectangular. I have never seen an ATC that was not rectangular. I am sending new ATCs to my partners. Just FYI the word "shape" is not objective enough to me to indicate a cut-out, non-rectilinear form such as the outer edges being a silhouette. An example shown in the the swap would have helped a lot; you should have made one example ATC to show the intentions of the idea.

My error was I sent this:

Clear body shape of an owl, not a close up of an owl face, symbol or an abstraction, or a collage with an owl.

Now I am finding this example:

I am making a paper crafting owl cut-out ATC to send new ATCs to my trade partners. Please confirm this is correct.

@ARTG33K74 - there have been a few "non-standard" ATC swaps here on Swap-bot. They're a fun challenge!

Also, I love the standard ATC you made! I kind of wish you hadn't sent it so I could do a private swap with you for it.

This was fun! I loved that it wasn't a traditional card..SMILE !

Like dey say in da 'hood, mo' owls, mo' problems.
