Have you heard of... Rolodex Swapping?!
Karenann Young
collage artist
She creates some incredible
rolodex cards

Fantastic collages

FYI
Rolodex swapping is similar to
ATC swaps.
Measurements are different (of coarse)
Yet, you are still creating on a smaller scale.
Artwork must be placed on both sides of card,
making it very "artsy" to flip through
your rolodex holder.

be a doer


Take a look at these...
such wonderful talent, love it!
Visit her site.
Donnalee and will be swapping rolodex cards.
I am super excited!!

I have had my rolodex card holder for some time.
Always playing around with it...
adding little bits of photos or artwork to it.
It really makes a wonderful display on your desktop.
But...
what I really wanted to do was explore
swapping these artful pieces.

I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO
 DOING MORE 
ROLODEX SWAPPING!
If your interested...
you know the drill, leave a comment or drop me an email.

I will being going on a road trip...
In about a week!
For the trip, I will be bring along
art supplies 
camera

I just have a feeling, I will be working on smaller art projects...
over those 2 1/2 weeks.
The good news is...
I will have some ATC and rolodex cards to swap.
Pictures to share.
And
An art journal filled with pages of our road trip...

  3. I recently bought a Rolodex and made the first collaged card last week--so timely! I'm not quite at the swapping point; I still need to mess around with it a little more myself. But before too long, swapping sounds like fun!
