After being in a creative funk for several weeks, today I remembered just the right size project to ease me back into the creative world.
Several weeks ago, I discovered a blog here at WordPress that belongs to a lady, Katerina, in the Netherlands who has a visual art experiment underway. I was intrigued. I contacted her right away to become a tiny part of “Receive, Create, Combine”.
You can read about this unique project on her blog: http://receivecreatecombine.wordpress.com/2013/06/12/new-cards-and-another-first/
I received a set of 9 postcard size pieces of art in the mail, that had been started by 1-3 other individuals thus far. A card is complete when 8 people have added to it.
Here is what the set of cards looked like upon receiving:
(All of the above cards above are as I received them, except for the pink one in the bottom left corner. I did add the eyes / nose to that one before I remembered to take before / after photos of the cards.)
And, here is what they look like after my additions:
Looking forward to seeing the cards once the remainder of the “artists” have added their personal touches.
Thanks Katerina for the “spark” I needed!
That is such a neat idea. That would definitely make it easy to get inspired.

It sure did! If you want to dabble with some art in quick stolen moments….try getting some 4×6 or 5×7 little canvases or paper and some paints and make 5 minute paintings…..or a journal and write 5 minute little poems or stories…you may surprise yourself! 🙂

What fun! Perfect little thing to get the toes wet. Have to say I was wondering who was blah blahing.

I am usually the one blah, blah, blahing 😉

Hardly… I think you play your cards pretty close to your chest. You are really a very private person and too great a listener to be a blah blaher .
