Liberate Your Art! It wants to be free. Don’t you agree?
There are so many envelopes arriving now for the Liberate Your Art postcard swap. As of Monday, 77 envelopes from 10 countries have arrived. We have a little more than two weeks until the receipt deadline so I know the flood of mail is still coming. So much fun!!
And of course, the mail art keeps coming too! This envelope came from Valerie-Jael, all the way from Germany. I love that thought bubble!
She also included a couple of gorgeous mixed media pieces for me to enjoy. You get to enjoy them here too! Thanks Valerie-Jael!
I had to smile at this lovely lady from Kathryn* in Illinois. Don’t you think a few post office employees got a smile from this too?
Cindy* in Arizona had a great idea on her envelope. Balloon mail! Wouldn’t that be a fun way to get mail?
And finally, I must thank Tina in Minnesota for the title of the blog post. Yes! Art DOES want to be free! Let’s liberate it!
It’s also time for Paint Party Friday, so I want to show the progress of my latest yellow-green piece. I have not had much time to paint this week, but I’ve made some progress and I know where it’s going next. It all comes down to making time.
Have a lovely creative weekend!
*I try to share website links for the mail art I share when I can find them, but many of the envelopes I’m receiving don’t have a website on the postcards. If this art is yours, let me know and I’ll link back to you!
I love Cindy’s envelope! I hope we’ve been entertaining your mail carrier.
Those are awesome. Now I feel silly for not thinking of such a fabulous idea! Next year I am amping up my game! lol
It’s certainly not an expectation, but it’s fun to receive!
Love all the envelopes, what a lucky girl you are to have all of them to enjoy and admired them.
Love your painting, I can’t wait to see the end result!
Have a great day!

Glad the post arrived safely across the big pond! Mail art is such fun! Valerie

What a great idea.. love these swaps and the envelopes you have shown are all so good…..such clever people out there!
It’s so much fun to get art in the mail – I’m looking forward to having a little extra energy at some point in the future so I can get back to that. In the meantime, gorgeous work on the yellow-green piece! I love the smudgey blues in the background
How fun. Great cards that you received. Happy PPF!
such creative envelopes-I feel very boring that I sent a plain brown envelope! I’m so looking forward to receiving the postcards this year too-it’s always lovely to get something other than bills in the post!
I love the first envelope – well, actually, I love them all – I mean really. Beautiful mail art showing up in your box. It doesn’t get much better than that. Your green painting is coming along. Happy PPF, Kat and a creative weekend to you too.
Your yellow green piece just sings to me. I love those colors together! And your mailbox is bringing you such eye candy!! Wow!
I love art mail! 🙂 Lucky you! Great colors on your wip. 🙂
It must be fun to see all the postcards arriving… and I am looking forward to the swap so much… great fun to see some of the envelopes…xx
Wonderful analagous painting, Kat! With all its concentric repetition and variety! Fabulous!
Happy PPF!!

The mail envies are wonderful as is your yellow-green piece.
I have my postcards printed, now I just have to get off my butt and mail them to you.
XOXO

Absolutely lovely creations ~ love your art style ~~ thanks, namaste, (A Creative Harbor)
Yes, it does want to be free. Oh, I love pretty mail!
Are you hopping up and down on the sidewalk every day waiting for the post to arrive? I would be.
what a fun idea! would love to be that post office worker!
I’m loving all the fun ways people are sending in their cards! So many creative people!
I’m getting ready to send mine and no longer have the mailing information! I deleted all the info! Mybad?
Will we be getting another email with all the instructions and address to mail to?
xo,
Linda
Wow great work, both you for your splashy painting and Valerie-Jael for her postcard sized gems.
I love how the WIP is coming along beautifully. How clever of you. There are quite a number of people NOT on computers that I write to regularly, didn’t think about using my art on the envelope. Great, thanks. Blessings, Janet PPF
Great collection!!!
love the start of your green and yellow piece. Can’t wait to see how it evolves. And thanks for sharing all the ATC’s — they’re each so different and cool in their own ways!
So much yummy mail in your letter box! A joy to get mail I would imagine. And I will be waiting to see where you take your green yellow piece. Great start.
those look amazing! wow!
