trading cards in the works

I don’t have any images to share yet. Given the nature of my project I am somewhat reliant on others, but I am going to share the outline of some of the images that are in the works right now.

Person 1: She is sitting on the floor surrounded by records

Person 2: Working at a table with a dutch oven, paints, and a sewing machine. She has given herself the title of “The Scrappy Sentimentalist”

Person 3: She holds a bowl of cookie dough that she is making, but her face is also completely covered in cookie dough.

Person 4: He is standing in front his fridge, apron on, spatula and tongs wielded with his arms crossed.

Person 5: She is doing a classic track and field pose.

I am still brainstorming and working with 7 other people on what they would like to do or whether they would like to be a part of the project. I have reached out to a fairly large group because I know some people may not be able to take the photos in time.

I also have been doing quite a lot of research on possible printing services for these cards:

-Nations Photo Lab has a pretty simple “trader card” option with a lot of customizability.

-Topps (the maker of most sold Baseball cards) also has a custom option, that I think could be really interesting to look into. It would be so wild to have actual Topps branded cards for a project like this.

-http://www.custom-tradingcards.com/ is another option

I look forward to hearing what people think or any suggestions!
