Liberate your Art Postcard Swap
Tuesday, September 11, 2012 at 03:16PM I got really excited by the postcard swap as soon as I read about it on Kat’s blog. The timing was perfect I was planning to have some postcards printed anyway as a way of showcasing some of my photos. An offer I couldn't refuse from MOO dropped into my inbox - I was away! Post cards arrived I choose a variety and posted them of to Kat in plenty of time - mistake - I didn’t make note of the cards I choose so I have no idea which of my pictures are out there!
They could include this picture
Or this one
Or any of these
I didn’t realise this would be a problem until cards started arriving and some people put the ones they had sent on the FB page as well. Good idea! I thought, especially as no one seems to have received any of my cards. Rather a problem for me in practice thought.
Getting other artists cards through the post was just great. First to arrive was this beautiful portrait from Dana in Michigan,
soon to be followed by this slightly surreal wooly mammoth from Katrin in Germany.
Next came this beautiful flower from Stephanie
and this textured flower from Phoenix and finally ( apart from Kat’s lovely card) this building in San Juan in Puerto Rico from Cheryl - memories of Westside Story abound. (sorry these 2 are on the same photo I am having some technical problems!)
In all a beautiful and varied selection of art to pin on my notice board in my study / studio
I hope to be able to visit and leave comments on others blogs during the blog hop, but am off to France on Friday and will have limited internet access - please forgove me if I don't get to you.
Finally please, please, please if you did get one of my cards - get in touch I would love to hear from you

I don't think it matters which five pics were sent out there. Your photography is beyond gorgeous. I would have been happy to have gotten something from you. I like all the postcards you received too.
Pleased to meet you; the swap was such fun. Your postcards are lovely...both given and received. See you next year, I hope. Have fun in France and I hope you find where your cards landed. The purple textured flower you have was from me.
Whichever of your cards were sent, the ones you think they may have been are gorgeous. The ones you received are lovely as well.
Hi Barbara! I'm glad that you put your website on your postcard because it has led me to your blog! I just wanted to let you know that I received one of your cards in the Postcard Swap and it just made my day. I LOVE it! It's the picture of the rusted door...or boat? Anyway, I absolutely love photographing the same thing...so I thought it was too cool. :) I'm very sorry that I didn't make the Link Up party in time...so you didn't know where your card arrived. I did a great job of it last year but I totally missed the deadline this year - so sorry! Anyway, I'm glad that I've found you and I can't wait to explore your blog some more. :) Cheers, Kate
Hi Kate
I am really thrilled to hear that you have one of my cards - it would have been a boat hull up on on the quay for winter - thank you so much for posting here
