Liberate Your Art – Postcard Arrivals

Candid Subway Series 2013 NYC. Lori Moon.

Howdy Y’all.

I didn’t meant to go so long without posting. Server issues that I thought had been resolved, but instead are ongoing. Hopefully all will be well soon.

I am so excited to share my first two postcards from Kat’s swap with you. Card #1 is from Lori Moon (came last week). A collection from her Candid Subway Series 2013 NYC.

As I gaze into the subway, I can imagine the sounds. The light changing as we enter the tunnel. Lori has me wondering about each of these people. On the back of the card, Lori wrote,

“May you find beauty in your everyday.“

Today’s beauty was Lori’s photographs of people going about their business. Just as they did yesterday. And just as they will tomorrow. Just as we all do.

I look at these images, and I am reminded. To me New York will always be synonymous with HERO. I think there is a bit of hero in each New Yorker.

And I hope there is a bit of hero, in each and every one of us.

God bless Kat for creating this opportunity for so many to spread joy around the world.
God bless Lori, and creative’s everywhere who put their hearts and souls on display.

God Bless New York. God Bless the U.S.A.

Postcard #2

Art in my room

This treasure arrived yesterday. Light and lovely. I have a piece of art in my room with the same flowers. You have to take a look at Barbara’s site. She has a series of these poppies. My photo does not do hers justice. On the back Barbara included this,

“Teach us delight in simple things.” ~ Rudyard Kipling

Luscious, luminous… celestial. Go NOW. Take a look!

They won’t go out until Monday, but I have finished preparing my postcards for Kat Sloma’s exchange. I finished decorating the envelope today. This is the fourth year for the exchange.

There is still time to take part if you are interested. You can see art from the previous exchanges, and get all the details here for Kat Sloma’s Liberate Your Art Postcard Exchange. She has two great video’s of all the participants art.

2014 Liberate Your Art Envelope

It is so much fun getting everything ready for this event. But the real fun will start in about a month, when I start receiving postcards from fellow artists and photographers.

I will be sharing the postcards I receive as they come in, it will be like Christmas in March! I hope you will join me, you can sign up to receive my posts by email. (To the right, under my photo.)

Join me in this international exchange! You will receive five postcards from around the world, and one from Kat Sloma. Kat has a goal to reach 250 participants this year. Be one! You can order printed postcards with your art, or you can make your own. If you decide to make your own, comment on this post, and I will send you my template for the back of the postcards. Send your art out into the world!

I have made new friends each year in this exchange, and that is really the best part. There are always “extra” swap requests on the Facebook page too. I included extras for the volunteers who help her as well.

Stay tuned!

Enjoy your Sunday, and happy creating to you!
