2014 LIBERATE YOUR ART POSTCARD SWAP



Once again, Kat's swap brought joy to my mailbox!  This is my third year participating and it is so much fun going to the mailbox. . . no bills just beauty from around the globe! 


The first card top left is a beautiful photo of an old building with rocks and flowering weeds bringing it life!  It is from Sonya Versluys www.sonyaversluys.com - her work amazing! 

Then a much needed shared cup of hot chocolate from Maddy at www.maddy-moo.blogspot.com
Her card came on one of the many snowy days we had here in the never ending Michigan winter, made me smile!

The sunset skyline with small bird in the trees is so peaceful.  It has a soulful beauty from Vicki at www.outofhand-alteredbooks.blogspot.com

Once again another photo that gives you peace the minute you look at it!  boats out on the water with an amazing skyline!  from Dee Vlasak at Instagram

A shoreline pic of Lake Erie from the Ohio side of the water!  Love it, as I am from Michigan and have visited this shoreline my entire life!  Gorgeous!  from Shelley at www.shelleyshockley.com

And of course from Kat herself!  Layered Autumn www.kateyestudio.com
I love getting Kat's postcard as the finally - it just pulls it altogether.  It is sad too because now you know it's done - over - complete - ahhhhhhh, but there is next year!

Hope those that received my A-moo-re enjoyed the love!



I took this photo while in New Mexico visiting my husband's dairy vet daughter.  This is NOT photo shopped.  They check cows for pregnancy - marking them with different colors for stage of pregnancy, twins and other things.  She checked 600 cows the day we were with her.  Wow, I have a totally different view of cows now - and the strength it takes to do what she does!

Like the card says:  live, laugh, love!!!!

PPF and my first postcard from the swap

Wow , so excited got my first postcard from the Liberate Art Swap... it is beautiful!
                                                           Thank you Kelly Ishmael

The poor postcard got a little beat up in its travels but still a wonderful mix of words and image!

#2 pencil, Ticonderoga, of course! on newspaper!
Jordyn Weiber, hometown hero!  MI- she lives just
a hop, skip and a jump from us!  so proud!
a journal page I am carrying around to finish











All these classes and projects on the table...I have just finally figured out you can have fun with art, everything you do doesn't have to become a painting... a publish-able piece... a masterpiece... a piece to be critiqued.... YOU CAN JUST JOURNAL or doodle or scribble or whatever!!!  Just keep doing because through doing YOU GET BETTER... omg, I think I've heard that before!  So, just sitting around with scraps of paper and my markers/pencils that I keep in my bag.... I just had FUN!!!!  I plan on continuing to do this!!!  It is okay that my mind gets ahead of my writing and I have to fit things in... it's okay if I misspell a word because this is the place to do it.  This is where you generate ideas, thoughts, feelings that develop into the next "real" painting!!!  There is a big smile on my face!!!!

Please be sure to visit all the participants at Paint Party Friday... I have learned so much from many!  So thankful that there is this positive inspiring place!!!  Thanks Alexandra for hosting!  More to come regarding the postcard swap... a blog hop... stay tuned!

cheers, dana
make art, make friends - share art, share souls!!!!
