Down to the wire. Ten minutes to midnight. Spent the day fixing things I had no idea were broken on my site. Trying to. Still more to do. Well, they were probably fine until I did the updates. Not sure why everything seems to go wonky after an update.
But I have a site icon now. Wooo-whoo! So if you have 20 tabs open you will be able to see my little orange ranunculus and find my site easily. One small step for blog-kind.
My Pinterest boardfor this challenge
is over 730 fabulous works of art strong!
Visit Leslie’s site, where all the daily art is posted, and see her terrific abstract art as well.
Not quite as successful as I had hoped. A learning experience though. I suppose I will have to try again. (Said with feigned exasperation.) Real flowers have flaws sometimes don’t they?
If you love looking at beautiful flowers be sure to visit my Pinterest board. Abstracts, landscapes, portraits. It’s all there. So much inspiration!
I have to be honest and say, this came together quickly. I painted a day ahead, to free up time for working on the invites. I am curious to find out if I can duplicate it on a larger scale.
2016 Liberate your Art
Kat Sloma’s annual Liberate Your Art postcard exchange is coming around again. All are invited. You can make your own cards, as I do, or have them professionally printed. Each year I have been fortunate to exchange many “extra swaps” with friends. I have taken part since 2011, long before I had a blog.
The goal for the exchange is to get your art out into the world. Interested? Take a look at the 2015 LYA, or click on the links below in the sidebar.
How I Make My Postcards
I use Photoshop, and publisher. You can also use Gimp, perhaps even Word. Using an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper yields four cards. You can print double-sided onto heavy card-stock, or glue separate pieces together (front to back). Here are some samples from previous years.
You can include handwritten greetings, or inspirational quotes, or both!

Very simple, and such a joy to receive art in your mailbox! Think about it.
