Having fun in the Liberate Your Art 2017 Postcard Swap

The Liberate Your Art Postcard Swap hosted by Kat Sloma from Kat Eye Studio is always fun. I’ve participated for six years now and I love that you get to connect with artists all over the world.

The first two years, I printed my cards for the postcard swap on my inkjet printer. After that, I’ve chosen to get mine from my RedBubble shop because the printer wasn’t doing as good a job.

I’d like to thank Kat for organizing this. She and her team of volunteers have done a massive amount of work. All the participants sent her 5 postcards, and she sent 5 of those, plus one of her own, to every single one of us.

We end the swap with a blog hop, and this is my entry. Check out the others by following the link at the bottom of the post.

I sent these postcards to Kat for distribution.
