Mail Art, I hope

Well, my friends, I"m not sure how to get my photos onto this blog using my new Chrome book! Aaagh. I'll keep working on it.

Join me on CrestiveSprint.co in 4 days. It's a Global Art game and it's free and it's fun. I'm doing it, why don't you?

This is what I posted for MAM, Mail Art Monday. It was five days to the start of Creative Sprint. Get it. FIVE shapes!

An altered Mary Cassatt postcard. I love the depth created here. 

Having fun with minimal and small collages

#130

#131

 With this series, I wanted to be minimal and see if I could use only 2 or at most 3 pieces of paper.
I decided to add a circle to #130 and several to #133 while still keeping the minimal feeling.

There's a challenge to myself to see if I can create a good composition with very little.

 

Do you set up any challenges for yourself?

Here's an opportunity to participate in a global art game. Creative Sprint starts again on October 1. Sign up at here: CreativeSprint.co and participate.
 It's a lot of fun.
It's free.
People all over the world are doing it. School groups, businesses, individuals, friends, families. It challenges and sparks creativity. Even if you think you aren't creative, you ARE!
Join this event. If you can't do every daily prompt, don't, if you can't finish, stop. But at least, start. You'll get a lot out of it.

And here's the cover of the book, which will be released in the spring of 2017. Disclosure - my offspring wrote it!

My creative offspring have done it again!

My creative offspring have done a book together. It'll be out in spring of 2017 but is available for pre-order on Amazon. It's based on their successful Creative Sprint project.
You can be a part of the project. It's FREE! The next one starts in October. You just have to sign up at Creative Sprint HERE. 

I participated twice and it was a lot of fun, and even though I make art daily, I was inspired by their prompts and ended up with a lot of ideas for new work. Try it, really, you'll like it.

Mail Art and such.

I'm participating in the fall #Creativesprint. Every day we get a prompt. On day 12, we had to do something backwards. I wrote my grocery list backwards and used a mirror to check it. Not back after I slowed down and focused. Oh, yes, people, that's a life lesson right there!! Don't you think?

Day 14 #CreativeChallenge

 I participated in an Add to and return for the Ray Johnson project.

You can do this to, if you'd like.
Just print out the forms and do it.
