[Origami] ATCs for Origami Heaven 2019

[Talo Kawasaki]

ATTENTION ATC ARTISTS/SWAPPERS:

At the upcoming Origami Heaven 2019 convention (February 15-17), we're having 
an Artist Trading Card (ATC) swap which welcomes experienced and novice ATC 
enthusiasts alike. You will only need to make 9 cards for a set. However, 
participants are only allowed to make one set for the official swap. Such a 
small number of cards lets experienced card designers make their cards more 
elaborate and inventive. Beginners can now try making cards without being 
afraid of of the quantity. Also if you decide at the last minute to make cards, 
you can even make them at Origami Heaven.

As this being Origami Heaven's last event, the trading cards' theme will be 
"Remembering Origami Heaven". It will be a chance to recall what you might have 
folded, seen or experienced at an Origami Heaven convention. And if nothing 
comes to mind, show your love for OH with origami hearts. 

SIGN UP: Please email your interest in participating. Also with your sign up, 
you'll receive updates, reminders and ATC Tips. Register at 
talok...@earthlink.net 

SCHEDULE:
ATC Set Deadline: Saturday, Feb. 16th, 11pm, Location: Stony Brook Hilton's 
Garden Inn lobby
ATC Swap: Sunday, Feb. 17th, 1pm: Location: Stony Brook Hilton's Garden Inn 
lobby

ATC REQUIREMENTS:
THEME: “Remembering Origami Heaven”

SIZE: 2.5 X 3.5 inches (64 X 89 mm) 

QUANTITY: Nine cards for one set — ONLY ONE SET per person. 

REMOTE TRADING: This swap is open for remote trading which means you can 
participate without attending OH only if you designate an ATC proxy, someone 
who is attending Origami Heaven and will agree to be responsible for bringing 
and returning you your traded set. If you are using an ATC proxy, you must give 
me their name and contact info, i.e. cell phone # and email address. Visit the 
Origami Heaven 2019 website for more details:
