Mine are done and will go in the mail tomorrow.

Almost there*
 

I'm almost there

***Note to self..

***In your hurry, don't forget to include money for postage..).:blush:

I am working on mine tonight and tomorrow and should have mine in the mail by the weekend...

Hi ya!
I think, after the next 2(?) projects, I'd like to wrangle one, as I've got a project idea. But not yet. I think I need to just participate first.

Looking forward to seeing what the next project might be.

Yes, I think it's a good idea to participate in at least two projects before wrangling one. Glad ya joined us :)

If no one has volunteered to wrangle the next project (just remind me if I missed someone!), I have an idea in mind for a project I'd like to wrangle, maybe to post after Nanners mails out??

Almost there
 

I have them. Ready to mail when I get off Amtrak.

Looking forward to seeing our creative collectives
:)

Also, readying for a new one nycfem. :)
I am creating a craft area at home. kaijira introduced me to "StampinOut" , making our own greeting cards. She's had me at Stamp Camp, several times, so I have a new hobby, and can even sit still long enough to do it.

Looking forward to it. Though I hope that the sign up list is kept kinda short. Besides the cost of making stuff, mailing cost gets kinda problematic, when it gets over 10 people.

I agree with this. I feel it's difficult to join projects when I'm not sure what I'm getting into. Pretty please? :P

Sign up for New Pen Pal Project: HALF INCHIES!!!


An Artist Trading Card (ATC) is a 2.5" x 3.5" mini work of art. An "Inchie" is the same but even smaller, 1" by 1" piece of art. A half inchie is a .5" by .5" piece of art. Tiny, tiny, tiny! Max of 10 people can sign up, and you must sign up for yourself (No signing up for other people since there is a set limit of people, and I want to be fair.).

There are no requirements for how you decorate your half inchies, but please only decorate one side, and write your name lightly in pencil on the back of each half inchie. If you want to specify who each half inchie is for, then write that on the back too (Practice your tiny script!). They can be ornate or very simple, whatever pleases your inner child. Please include 1 dollar (an actual dollar, no checks or money orders) for mailing costs. If you don't have my mailing address, I will put it in your rep comments when you sign up. Please include yours when you mail me your projects.

Please get them to me by the end of April. I will mail them out May 1st COME HELL OR HIGH WATER, so don't even think of being late. Don't sign up if you can't make that deadline. Also, I live in a building that will not sign for packages, and my husbutch and I work so DO NOT send them with any requirement for receiving in person or signing for delivery. I will not deal with the horrible nyc post office and so it will wait and come right back to you.

Sign up deadline: when we reach 10 people or the last day of March, whichever comes first.

The software wants MORE LETTERS! So I'm giving them to it. I hope the stupid thing is happy now and will let me post this.

In a way, this reminds me of the swap projects that alot of print makers groups do.

I'm number 10!!! I'm number 10!!!!

Holy crap, that was close.

I need to set up a texting tree for situations like this.

:blink:

just a thought
 

Well, since we have all mailed yours off, and the wheels are in motion, just a quickie this time may suffice. I know I have had those kinds of emerging issues too,(w) so some of my Stuff has been simpler than I would have liked. Outsider artist's would cut up a cereal box, paste your favorite quote on the back , written in crayon(recycling) and get it off ASAP..or something simple and fast in an emergency so the train keeps moving...:firetruck::fireman:

my :2cents:

I agree with Tommi. I will wait till Monday next week, then mail all of them out on Tuesday on my way to work. PM me if yours cannot be in my hands a week from today please.

I've been wanting to participate in one of these for a long while! I'm excited :)

..........................................

Well, that filled fast....and I am really going to have fun going mini mini...a fun challenge to an artist who does wallscape murals. :artist:

I loved doing the inchies,

What I should have asked was do we do 1 for each person! One each it is!

Very cool! Do you work directly on the wall, or on canvas to be hung on the wall? Do you specialize-landscapes animals people...?

painting..
 

Wild animals and birds are my favorite, then sea and landscapes, n flowers, n whatever comes into my head in the middle of the night....Only thing I don't do are people pictures. ( I do face and body painting though ;). Canvas and walls too. Currently, I have three oil on canvas paintings in progress, one white tiger, a 24"X 36" stormy Oregon coast, and a ______(surprise) for kaijira. My Oil canvases hang on the walls too. :)

My current on the wall mural home project is painting the entry way wall and my guest bathroom.
Bathroom tile is a mossy grass green, with straw colored grouting. The walls are lemon yellow and spring green. So far, Entry way mural has green bamboo growing from floor to ceiling amid soft sky blue and puffy white clouds. From alongside the door frame, extending to the guest room the sprouts and flowers take you into the room.

Then, inside the bathroom as you enter , the far wall will have two baby panda's playing in the bamboo clearing.

So, nine .5 x.5 inch lil things will be fun.

Sounds really neat!

(I had a long reply all typed out, and a spark of static electricity apparently turn my computer off. Luckily it doesn't seem to have done any damage, but of COURSE, I lost the reply. So let's see if I can remember it.)

Any chance of seeing your murals? I like the bamboo idea. Beautiful plant. Do you paint just for yourself or do you also work pro?

No, When I was talking about murals on canvas, I meant loose sheets, not stretched canvas. It's a good way of doing murals in a rental space, where it can't be a permanent part of the space. On a properly prepped wall, a good paperhanger can come in and put up the canvas. That way, it be carefully removed at a later date, rolled and the owner can take it with them, and not leave behind some artwork the landlord might not appreciate and charge for painting over. Or it can be simply hung from a pole, like a banner. That's one way of doing it, there are one or two others, if it's going to be a permanent piece.
