Polymer Clay ATC #2: Kaleidescope Canes

Remember those Kaleidescope canes we're making for the Polymer Clay Group weekly challenge....let's use them in an ATC. Make your ATC anyway you like, but try to be creative...don't just put one slice in the center of the ATC. Your background can be any style you'd like, however it must be made of polymer clay. Or if you'd like make the ATC entirely of your kaleidescope cane slices...again the choice is up to you.

Here are a few kaleidescope cane tutorials:

Here are the requirements of the swap:

1. You will have 2 partners and will make 1 ATC for each partner from a kaleidescope cane you have handmade yourself.

2. Newbies to swap-bot are welcome. You must have a full profile and you must PM me before joining the swap. It is also preferable that you have some familiarity with polymer clay since this is using a specific technique. You don't have to be an expert with using polymer clay, just have enough experience to be able to at minimum follow a tutorial on making the kaleidescope cane.

3. Existing Swap-botters must have a 4.7 rating or higher.

4. No more than 1 no-send in the past 4 months. If you feel you have been rated unfairly, please PM me to discuss the matter.

5. Newbies to swapbot are welcome to join. However you must have a full profile.

6. I regret having to add this but, please send your own work. The requirements are for you to make the ATCs from kaleidescope canes that you have made yourself. Please do not send the work of others.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please use the following guideline for rating: from the Swap-bot FAQs page:

5- I got my stuff and it met posted swap requirements

3- I got my stuff, but it didn't meet the posted swap requirements

1- I never got anything

Keep in mind that you are NOT rating your partners on whether or not you liked what you received, only on if it met the requirements of the swap. The fun thing about swaps is that you never know what you are going to get, and that means that sometimes you may not be thrilled with what you receive. Also, remember that everyone (including the person you are rating) can see who you are and what ratings and comments you gave. It is important to rate participants honestly, but it is also good to be kind even if you have to give someone the lowest rating.

And my number 1 rule:

Above all….have fun! Isn’t that what Swap-Bot is all about anyway!
