Group Painting Sesh?

Jeez...I haven't posted here since March and now I'm on a roll!!

Just stumbled upon this: Urban Art Bar .

It's a bar where you can paint! It's in Boston though but wouldn't it be cool to have one here on the Cape or somewhere on the South Shore?

I'd like to start one of these too...Where could we hold such a gathering?

Our very own ATC Swap !

Artist Trading Card Swap is underway!

1.) Take a deck of cards , or trace a credit card on cardboard, bristol board or cereal box and cut out
2.) Paint with gesso (white paint for a solid base) or glue on paper of choice
3.) Decorate, paint, stamp, glue, collage, write quotes~ whatever your heart desires

Above is a selection of ATC cards found at Michael's crafts for $1.99 each (package of 10) but if you have old playing cards or cereal boxes laying around feel free to go that route ! (I am!)

If you would like to join the Deck Swap and deck of 52 cards need to be completed by December 1st. That gives you 2 whole months to set aside a table where you can dabble in creativity each day (wouldn't that be great!). I'll post a weekly inspirational idea for your cards to get the juices flowing. Remember~ You do not have to be particularly creative or an "artist" to join in the fun. This isn't a contest or anything. Just a bit of community spirit through art:)

I will give each of you my address privately so you can mail your cards to me where I will then separate equally, package up and send back to you. There will only be a small fee for mailing (around $10).

Let me know what you think!
