Thirteen of our creative group members signed up to participate in our second card exchange. Each participant made a full set of cards so they could give one to each of the other participants. This exhange has no specific guidelines and everyone is free to employ whatever book arts or paper arts skills they like to use. The results include a wide range of techniques including painting, illustration, collage, stitching, letterpress, pop-ups, rubbings, stamping, paper cutting, and more.
Some participants created an edition with twelve cards that are all the same and some participants made each card unique, in which case only a few are shown here.
