In Kat's own words, here's the idea behind it-
- To encourage artists to learn how to reproduce their artwork. Many people create original work, but don't take the next step to reproduce their work to share. I would like you to learn how easy it is to create the postcards if you haven't done this before.
- To encourage connection between artists of different mediums from around the world. Regardless of the medium we create in, we are all artists! I believe we have more inspiration for creation as we explore diversity in art and culture. Personal connections between artists enhance our art.
- To encourage sharing of art with others. If you love to create but have a fear of sharing your work, this is a safe way to start. You can get your work out there in the swap, even without your name attached. Sometimes taking that little step is enough to push past long-held fears!
- To give you some fun, happy mail! There is nothing better than visiting the letter box to find some wonderful piece of mail, is there? For a few weeks, you will receive pieces of art and encouragement from your fellow swap participants in the mail. It's just plain fun!
Last Friday I got my postcards rounded up and mailed out to Kat...I even embellished the envelope with a little creative touch...
It's not too late to join in if you are interested...the deadline to get your art postcards to Kat is March 14...
get all the details on participating here...
Because really...don't you just love getting real mail...so much better than bills!
