Liberate Your Art 2016

you are you. And that is everything the world needs.


I've lost track but this is around my fourth or fifth year to join Kat Sloma's Liberate your art. The post card above is my entry for LYA 2016.  On the front, it says, "You are You." On the back, the message continues with "And that is everything the world needs." Sometimes we need to hear that!





Some of the postcards I received had art work, others photography and some were photo collages.  All very inspiring and a shot of happiness in my mail box.




Part of Kat's LYA is that each postcard has a message on the back.  It can be a quote, a note about the postcard itself, or whatever enters your mind.  The idea is to have more than just a blank postcard. Afterall, this is a way to connect to a stranger through mail art.

What I've learned with LYA is that strangers do not stay strangers for very long.  Soon this group of strangers form a community and then conversations develop and then friendships.    That is why I keep coming back each year to join Kat's Liberate Your Art.

If you think you aren't an artist or photographer, don't let that inner voice take over.  Creativity has no boundaries or expectations.  Creativity comes in many forms.  Maybe you like cooking or sewing or exercising?  I believe all of these interests are a form of creativity and can be put on a postcard.   To get your reminder from Kat for next year's LYA, sign up on her website.



Most of the postcards had websites,  and here they are:
