Blog News :)

Hi everyone,

Great to see more participants of the collaboration posting on the blog.
I like to change the template every now & then.
Just to give it a new look, to inspire and surprise the viewers.

The comments box is great also, (check out the comments to your post),so everyone can leave a message of encouragement for each other.

Photo's are a fantastic asset on the blog, everyone can view and see what changes are happening to the postcards & what the person/group is up to.

If anyone would like some help with posting on the blog, please email me for my home phone number.
I am very happy to talk you through this part.
If the blog is scary, and it is starting out - you can send me your information or photo's and I can post it on your behalf.

I was also thinking that with every post, we can email info out to everyone also.
So we are all communicating and having updates throughout the year ahead of us.

Friends of our BAVA group are checking out our progress and keen to see some of the finished postcards.
Some are hoping to see this continue after we finish our 6 rounds & come on board with the next one.

Keep up the great work,
Having Fun with ART,
Kym :)

First time blogger

This blogging business is all new to me but I seem to be making progress.
Just returned from a week away and I have one of those little blue cards from the Post office telling me I have a parcel. No guessing what that should be.

You can imagine my disapointment when I realised it was a Public Holiday and I would have to wait another 3 days before collecting my postcard information pack. I will be very busy on Monday creating my little works. I have not settled on a theme but I still have a couple of days for inspiration to hit me.
Being a pastel artist (of sorts) I will be feeling a little aprehensive as I try out some new mediums on the postcards.
Looking forward to the first round.

Let's Get Started!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

My Name is Kym Simms & I am very excited to be involved with The Postcard Collaboration.

We have a group of ladies in Biloela called BAVA- Biloela Area Visual Arts. We have a Blog for our group, so I was keen to ask Peta, if I could help organise one for all the Postcard Collaborators. The Blog can then be shared with family, friends & interested artists throughout the world.

Everyone is invited to post their stories, photo's & any news they would like to share with the Artists involved in this venture. I would like to put a profile of everyone on the RHS of the blog. Name, portrait photo, DOB, like & dislikes - something to share about yourself. You can email this through to me if you would like to.

Little steps at first understanding the posting and photo downloads. If you have any problems or would like to post some news but are a bit nervous..send through your news of the day & I will be very happy to post it for you & any photo's you have attached. To log on & make comments you have to register for a Google account which is similar to any other web subscription.

So, Let's get started!!!! I received my Postcard Info today & I felt like a child, so excited about receiving my colourful envelope with the Postcard goodies inside.
Now.....Peta knows how many times I read through the details to understand the planning of this great event......Yes, the penny did drop & I am now ready to send off my postcards on May 1st.

I am looking forward to seeing these postcards come to life over the next twelve months & to meet the all collaborators along the way.
Having Fun with ART'08
Kym :)
