Liberate Your Art!

I participated in a postcard swap sponsored by Kat Sloma.  Over 200 artists from around the world each created postcards, then sent 5 to Kat (along with address stickers and proper postage).  Kat then "liberated" our artwork by making sure that each participant received five different postcards -- plus one from her!  I decided to take them out to my back yard and photograph them today for this blog post.  Enjoy!

The first step was to have some of my artwork made into postcards.  I used the images below and had them processed by Moo.com.

 I put messages on the back with contact information and sent them to Kat by the deadline.  Then it was waiting and anticipating time!  The first postcard I received was this Kingfish painting, created by Charlotte in Maryland.

A few days later, I opened my mailbox to find this great photo of seagulls from Patricia in Vermont.  She processed it with Photoshop to give it that chromatic look.

The third photo was this seascape from David in Nashville, Tennessee.  Given our long winter, this was a welcome sight!

This whimsical image from Andrea in Staten Island arrived right around the time we were getting yet another spring snowstorm. At least today I had a few flowers to remind me that her message is indeed true!

 The colors on this gelli print doodle from Lisa in Virginia made me smile!

 And the final postcard was from Kat, called Layered Autumn.

Throughout the process, we were able to post updates on our "Liberate Your Art" facebook page.  I found out that one of my postcards ended up in Scotland!  

I'm hoping Kat does this again next year!  If so, I'm in!
