Before There Were Stickers, There Were Cards

Ess Bee was introduced to Artist Trading Card (or ATC) swaps on the My Little Pony Trading Post, particpating first as an individual, and later running multiple successful swaps for artsy pony people - or those who just wanted to have some fun.

Ess uses a number of techniques in her ATCs, but often uses scraps of decorative paper, neat magazine pages, markers, colored pencils, acrylic or watercolor paint, varnish, and Translucent Liquid Sculpey along with glue - so much glue. Even when the base doodle is reused, each card is hand-finished in some unique way!
