The Liberate Your Art postcard swap and blog hop !!!!

Kat Sloma from The Kat Eye View was the creator, host and laborer for this creative and fun event.  Each of us created 5 unique postcards and forwarded them to Kat.
Kat very graciously received, stamped, sorted and mailed 1020 of them !!  phew!

I studied my photos and went back and forth before finally selecting the final 5.
I wasn't certain what I would write on the postcards, but finally chose a quote which came from a fortune cookie of all places.  The fortune read “Never judge a work of art by its defects".
I never look for the defects in anyone else's artwork, yet it is something I always to do myself. … see my previous post here

Every day I looked forward to checking the mail, eagerly awaiting a postcard.  I displayed the postcards on our fridge and let my family know every time one arrived.  It was so much fun to participate and receive the lovely postcards.  And the fun still continues as we meet each other and share our creative lives with each other on our blogs.

I chose to use a little creativity with the scanner in my sampler of the beautiful postcards I received…..



And after all of the effort Kat had already put into this project, she was kind enough to send each of us a postcard from her.  I am really grateful that I was fortunate enough to find Kat’s blog and everything that she has brought out in me since then.

  9. You've created a beautiful collage. I'm glad I got to see some of these and wish I had participated. I'm so clueless on how to make my own postcard. Is that crazy or what. It looks like you recieved some lovely pieces and how clever of you to send such a fitting quote. Looking good!!
