A Postcard Swap…

Our Maine vacation is over and  the birthday week filled with family, house guests and parties is over.   Before either of those events occurred I joined  Liberate Your Art, a postcard swap initiated and organized by Kat Sloma of the blog The Kat Eye View of the World.  For the swap, participants had to send out five original postcards and in return would receive five postcards from others.

The postcards could be made in any medium…mine were photos of course.  During the months of July and August It was fun to wait and see what arrived in snail mail. 

The first to arrive was titled “Abstract in Blue” by Kelly of I Need to Color.  I like to think that her inspiration was taken from the water of ponds and oceans.

This beautiful photo by Angela  was the next to arrive.  On  the back was a quote from the Budda: “We are what we think.  All that we are arises with our thoughts.  With our thoughts we make the world.”  Her photography and family oriented blog Peach Coglo is full of beautiful photos.

The next three postcards came while I was away in Maine and I am sad to say I have yet to contact the senders…but I will!

Anita’s beach photo made me feel right at home…I liked the quote included too:  “Logic will get you from A to B.  Imagination will take you anywhere.”  Albert Einstein.  I was already familiar with her blog Going A Little Coastal and her amazing creativity.

This wonderfully purple photo postcard was sent by Brigitte – aka Rosie-Grey of  Rosie’s World.  She wondered if I liked purple…how could I not love this?

I can’t imagine the amount of work that went into the pen and ink drawing that was on the postcard that Lea sent me.  Even the back of her postcard was hand painted and drawn and beautiful…She left a link to The Beaufort Art Center but not a blog of her own.  Maybe she teaches there?

The last postcard I received was from Kat in thanks for participating…It is I who should thank her for this fun opportunity…I would do it again!
