I was so thankful to participate in the Liberate Your Art Swap again this year.
Why? This swap encourages me to make art and share. I am involved in many swaps and do a lot of artsy activities through online classes and through Art More Place in town. At Art More Place, I learned that anything creative is art and it has helped me accept my work-no matter what. I have learned because of the swaps, to take pictures of my art. While I am my worse critic, by stepping away from my piece for a while, and then taking a photo-the piece takes on a while new look.
After taking pictures of my art, I collect those photos and other photos(usually nature-and definitely art) I love in a folder and order postcards. Now I have art to share!
It is wonderful to see other people’s art and connect to people around the world. I often visit their blogs and/or write to them.
As luck would have it, I am staying at a home far from my own watching some pups and do not have the cards with me!
I had the husband send me pics of the four he could find. I will add them here and more information about the senders later.
I love the painting of the girl and the city. I can relate to them both. I love the Oregon postcard-we were in Washington several years ago but never made it to Oregon. Lastly, the bird is great. I am greatly attracted to birds and fascinated with them. I always am amazed how the postcards I get seem to be picked just for me!
I actually don’t remember all the cards I sent-but this is a favorite. This was actually the size of a playing card and created for the Inspirational Card Swap. I loved this little one so much I took a picture to save it forever.
As I have participated in swaps, I have encouraged others to as well. Many have found joy participating. Maybe you should give it a try? I am glad to help and/or answer questions I admit it may seem scary at first but once you jump in-it’s wonderful!
Do something creative for yourself today!
