Liberate Your Art

It just takes one person + one idea to create a beautiful experience for people.  In this case, it was Kat Sloma + Liberate your Art.

Thanks to Kat’s vision of helping people put their art out into the world to share and grow as artists, 5 of my images were sent around the world last month.  In return, I was treated to a lovely stream of original art and notes, arriving from Mexico to Massachusetts, over this past month.

As I wrote about last month, this project was a great excuse to design and order a postcard pack that I had been admiring from Artifact Uprising.  Aren’t they fun?!

And below are the postcards I sent out into the world, with a reminder I think we can all use on our creative journey:

“You don’t have to be the best, you just need to be better than last week.”

 Starting today we will be sharing the art we received with other participants online.  Please say hello, especially if one of the lovely postcards above came from you!

    Wasn’t this fun? You got a wonderful selection of cards … all so different … and each one brings a smile. Your cards were wonderful, too. I’m already looking forward to next year!

    I see you had an ocean /water theme going with the cards you received. That must have been fun for the swappers to set in motion. You do lovely photography, too!

    what a great collection of postcards. It has been great seeing the variety of art that was sent through the U.S. postal system. I wonder if the postal carriers enjoyed the show????

    Love your images and this fun way to connect with other creatives. I participated last year and didn’t get my act together this year. 🙁 Look forward to joining in on the fun in 2015.
