Art Swap!!!!!


Awhile back, I posted a couple of pictures of the doll I made for the ADO Grimms fairy tales challenge. He was the boy from the story "The Juniper Tree". After I posted it, Roxanne from MentalMulch made a few comments on him and said that she liked him. One night, I was just sitting there feeling grateful that someone was complimenting my work, and thought to myself "I wonder if she would like him". So, I wrote her and asked, and she said she would. She said she would like to give an art piece of hers as well. I chose a painting, as she does lovely paintings. And that's how it happened. We swapped art. It was really quite exciting. I liked it so much, that I decided that I would like to do that every so often. I was thinking about doing it every 2 months. Anyone interested, just message me, and I'll enter you into the swap. If I get more than one person, I'll simply draw names. I'm thinking this will be fun, and also a great way to interact with other artists. The art needs to be your own. It can be in any form.
Here is a picture of the painting that now adorns my wall! Roxanne is such a talented artist. Her dolls are also amazing. Here's a link to her blog: http://mentalmulch.blogspot.com/
Go check her out. She has a link to her Etsy store as well. http://www.etsy.com/shop/4stargalaxy

  9. Crow, not too late at all. Actually, I've been so busy that I haven't even started my art to swap. I have an idea. Howabout everyone make something small (or big if you would like) and then I'll throw everyones name in a hat and pull them out in a manner than lets everyone swap art with someone else. I think we'll have to set a deadline or I'll never get it done! :) December 1st if that sounds good with everyone. I wouldn't wait so long, but with the holidays around the corner, everyone will be busier than usual I'm sure. Hope that sounds good to everyone. Anyone else who wants to join, just start on an art piece of your own and if you can have it finished by December 1st, I'll add your name to the hat. Or you could add some art that you already have done, so long as it's your own. Now, I need to get a hat.
