Liberating All Over The Place...

I took part in the Liberate your Art postcard swap this year

and it was awesome

like really awesome...

who knew it was such fun to get postcards from strangers

and to get emails from them when they get yours

I sent these two

partly because I had them already made up

but also because they are two of my favourite paintings

 I love my kitchenaide mixer in a slightly unhealthy fashion

and I also love my acrylic paints... not quite as freaky about them 

but I do love the painting

so I sent them off and was immediately struck almost dumb by a panic

that everyone who received them would think they were a bit rubbish

but I did the whole man up buttercup routine

and then starting getting a bit excited...

I started checking the facebook page as soon as the first mailing date came up

and spent the next few days deciding that I wanted every single postcard that went up

I started stalking the post man

even though there was no way they were going to make it 

all the way to Australia in a day or two

the poor postie was starting to think I had a bit of a crush 

or that I was a mad woman

and when the first one finally arrived I did feel a bit like planting one on him

and he may have picked up on that because

I have noticed that he now zooms past and avoids all eye contact

I received gorgeous inspiring cards from

and got emails from people who received mine

which was equally fun

and in a fun bonus one of my blogging buddies 

Lisa at the Write Stuff got the kitchenaide one

which she already owns as a print

small world isn't it, and we organised another little side swap

so I sent her the paints and she sent me this gorgeous windswept number

and Terrie Purkey sent me a card

just because she is just that nice

so I have a heap of cards to add to the wall of wonder in my studio

and have found heaps of new and wonderful fellow artists

so huge thanks to Kat for organising it, 

and aside from the restraining order the postie is possibly still considering

 I loved every minute of it

I am already thinking about what cards I will send out next year!!!!
