Kat Sloma has hosted a Liberate Your Art postcard swap for several years now. This year there were over 200 people signed up for the swap. This is my second year to participate, and I've enjoyed it more than ever this year. Not only is it fun to send your work out in the world, it's great fun to find out where it landed as well as receiving postcards from others. This year I've made several nice connections with folks who sent me art, and folks who received mine.
Here are the two postcards I sent out to the world. The top is a photograph of the benches at the Pentagon Memorial and the quote I wrote on the back was "Lest we forget." The second one was taken at the Oregon Sand Dunes State Park, and the quote was, "When you stand alone, you realize what you have in you." I know two of my cards ended up in the UK and one in Texas. I hope I'll find out more today on the blog hop.
The first postcard to arrive came from Cathy in Arkansas with the quote "Let the rays of your heart shine on all who pass by." Her beautiful flower with a bee certainly shines brightly.
Another lovely flower arrived next. The quote read, " Beauty surrounds us." Sadly there was no other message so I don't know where it came from or who sent it. Perhaps I'll find out today.
This stunning image came from Andrea. You can find more of her photography here. The quote on the back reads, "In the end, it is not going to matter how many breaths you took, but how many moments took your breath away." How true!
The fourth beautiful postcard to arrive came from Shannon in Richmond, VA.
The final postcard arrived from Helga in the Netherlands. I love how unique it is. The quote by Twyla Tharp reads, "Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."
And last, but certainly not least is the beautiful piece of art from Kat.
You can find a list of all those participating in the blog hop here. It's sure to be inspiring and interesting!
