liberate your art

In the middle of planning her family's move from Milan back to Oregon earlier this summer, my Mortal Muses pal Kat decided to throw one more task on her overloaded plate.  Kat is not only a talented photographer (with a full-time job and a family) but a community builder - the last being one of my favourite traits of hers.

She revved up the Liberate Your Art postcard swap before she left Milan, and by the time she reached Oregon in July had over 1,000 postcards to sort - artwork submitted from bloggers around the world which she sorted, addressed, stamped and then sent out again.  I loved the idea of exchanging artwork this way.

Here is the postcard art I was delighted to receive in my own mailbox:

Clockwise from the top left:
Deborah from tischd.blogspot.com
Kat from kateyeview
Chris (let me know your blog URL!)
Helen from dixonhill

So much fun to cross over from the virtual world to real, live mail right in my hand (and now on my wall).

(To those of you who received my postcards, I'll be visiting you soon! 
Thanks for letting me know you received them!)

  1. YAY! So glad you were able to get the postcards out before your grand tour, so that you could participate. It all seemed so crazy in July but it's calmed down and I am so happy as a result. It is fun to hop around and read about these connections made. The power of art!
