To Peggy from Amy - Art Dropping

 

Amy has some of my favorite stamps - or I guess she *had* some. Maybe she has more. I loved-loved-loved those stamps. I often drew a clothesline across the envelope and would *hang* the stamps on the clothesline. Amy used the patterns to fill the lettering - a good idea. 

Search [clothesline] on this blog to see some of them. I'm tempted to search [clothesline envelopes] on Google to see what pops up. 1 minute later: what fun - Google had images from this blog going back to 2011 - and more :-)

Here's an idea for clearing your space of excess artwork. Wrap it up - put a tag on it - and leave it somewhere. These people only do it once a year - I say -- do it whenever you in *sifting* mode.

IMAGINE WHILE ON YOUR MORNING coffee run, you find a package on a bench wrapped in brown paper, with a note saying there’s art inside. Opening the package reveals an original piece of art, a small, acrylic painting with broad brushstrokes resembling the ocean, or maybe it’s a mountain. While it may be surprising, it’s sure to make your day. This is the goal of Toronto contemporary abstract artist Courtney Senior and her International Art and Found Day, the third annual celebration of which will be held on March 12, 2023. So far, 850 artists from 42 countries are scheduled to participate, with each contributing at least one, if not multiple works.
