It’s time for the Liberate Your Art 2018 (LYA) Blog Hop! Finally, the moment is here to share the art I received and sent for the LYA swap this year. Some swappers share all along, but I like the anticipation, the suspense leading to the day “all” the art is revealed. Then, I spend the … Continue reading Art Brings Light: Liberate Your Art 2018
As in years past, I did a little side-swapping after the Liberate Your Art blog hop. April and May are pretty crazy-busy around here, so I don’t check my post office box as frequently as I should. When I finally checked, there was a mailbox full of postcards waiting and I jumped for joy when I saw … Continue reading Dreaming Art: Liberate Your Art Side Swaps
The LYA blog hop has begun! As mentioned in a post a few weeks ago, I participated in Kat Sloma’s Liberate Your Art swap again. The swap has been running for seven years. I’d “just missed” the first year when I found out about the swap, but I’ve participated every year since. This year’s stats: 876 pieces … Continue reading Liberate Your Art 2017: “Experiment, Play, Create & Liberate”
The Liberate Your Art 2017 (LYA) swap has begun! I received my first postcard a couple of days ago and I can hardly contain my excitement as I wait for the remaining cards to arrive. Some people begin posting their cards on social media and “side-swapping” right away, but I usually wait till the LYA blog hop to post … Continue reading Wabi-Sabi: My Liberate Your Art 2017 Reject
The party is never really over with Liberate Your Art. It is pure pleasure to find a “random” postcard from another LYA participant in my mailbox. I had the good fortune of sharing with many other photographers and artists long after the swap and the blog hop. Wanna see? Christine of Flagstaff, Arizona has been a faithful postcard … Continue reading “Art Takes Courage”–Liberate Your Art 2016 Side Swaps
Yesterday, I shared the postcards I received via Liberate Your Art 2016, so today, I’m talking about the postcards I sent for the swap. If memory serves me well, I sent four postcards out. Some older and some newer. I captured this photo of a boat sitting in the water at the approach to Goree … Continue reading Liberate Your Art 2016: My Photos into the World
Imagine my chagrin when I checked my email the morning of April 18th and realized that I’d completely missed the Liberate Your Art 2016 Blog Hop! I was sick for days about it. I blamed Tax Day and the madness of April for my missing out. Oh well. I eventually dusted myself off, and now LYA … Continue reading Tardy for the Party: Liberate Your Art 2016
This year, like last year, I engaged in a little post-Liberate Your Art swapping and received more beautiful artwork to add to my LYA collection. Although many started swapping even before Kat Sloma sent the postcards, I preferred to wait till the blog hop to begin swapping–I like the element of surprise. Here are the post-swap cards I’ve … Continue reading Liberate Your Art 2015: A Quick View of the After Party
What a maddening month (so far)! I’m happy to take a moment out of my busy end-of-the-academic-year life to focus on pretty things and happy mail. For the fourth consecutive year I participated in Kat Sloma’s Liberate Your Art swap. Again, I sent my art out into the world and have had various expressions of … Continue reading Let’s Go to the Hop: Liberate Your Art 2015
Liberate Your Art 2014 came and went all too fast! Thanks to Kat Sloma my post office box was happy again! The poor thing hardly gets any fun mail since we use it primarily for bills and (apparently) junk mail, so I always do a little mental happy dance when I pull something fun from the box. … Continue reading Liberate Your Art 2014: Art, Mail, and Randomness
