1000 Artist Trading Cards is a compendium of ATCs - personal, miniature artworks - compiled by the editor-in-chief of Quilting Arts Magazine and Cloth Paper Scissors, Patricia Bolton. Many of the cards have been chosen from challenges sponsored by Cloth Paper Scissors and Quilting Arts Magazine; several were created by well-known artists at Patricia's request; all are little gems of creativity. The book includes a how-to section with Patricia's step-by-step ideas for making your own ATCs, plus information on online communities where you can share ATCs with people all around the world.
