Day 11, Glory. 4 x 4 watercolor on Mineral paper. © 2016 Sheila Delgado
I have to be honest and say, this came together quickly. I painted a day ahead, to free up time for working on the invites. I am curious to find out if I can duplicate it on a larger scale.
2016 Liberate your Art
Kat Sloma’s annual Liberate Your Art postcard exchange is coming around again. All are invited. You can make your own cards, as I do, or have them professionally printed. Each year I have been fortunate to exchange many “extra swaps” with friends. I have taken part since 2011, long before I had a blog.
The goal for the exchange is to get your art out into the world. Interested? Take a look at the 2015 LYA, or click on the links below in the sidebar.
How I Make My Postcards
I use Photoshop, and publisher. You can also use Gimp, perhaps even Word. Using an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper yields four cards. You can print double-sided onto heavy card-stock, or glue separate pieces together (front to back). Here are some samples from previous years.
You can include handwritten greetings, or inspirational quotes, or both!

Very simple, and such a joy to receive art in your mailbox! Think about it.
