The Art Box arrives at Fran's!

Fran Burras of Dancing-Girl Artreceived the art box. Fran is an amazing artist. You should go check out her blog! Look at all the cool stuff she contributed!


And this is the loot she nabbed

Box one on the way to the UK!

I tell you Doug is so fast. I remember when we worked together when I was an art director. He was always an illustrator that I could count on to do a fabulous job and on time or early. He has turned this pay it forward box right back out already! It is on it's way to Fran in the UK!

Other exciting news two more artists have joined in on box number one.

At the end it will go to Denise Aumick of wild thread studio and then Bridget Dorsa before it returns to me.

The box arrived and Doug chose to keep these:


And he added these to the box! Now it is on the way to Fran in the UK.

4. Katey Duly Blue Eye Duck Studios
5. Nicole Gauvin Nicole's Blog

I am excited to have various kinds of artists involved!

Box one-getting ready

Alright. So we have a handful of people interested in participating with this first box. So the way I think this will work...I will put some art and art supplies in the box and mail it to the first person on the list. (Don't worry the list will be inside the box) Then that person will take a few items out and put in at least as many as they took out. Then will send the box to the next person on the list. Hopefully we will post some of the contents of the box here on this blog. Then the last person on the list will return the box to me. And if there is interest...I will start box number 2! If the participants are up to it they will post a piece of art here that they make using the contents they nabbed from the box.

We will be starting soon! I am gathering items!

First Box

Just looking for a few more people to be involved in the First Box.

Pay it forward Art!

I decided to create a box of art and art supplies that will travel to other creative people. Each person can take a piece of art and an item or two from the box. That person must then put at least as many items in the box as they have taken out of the box and send it forward to the next person on the list within one week. They also need to contact me and let me know what they received (at least one item) and what they put in (at least one item). Hopefully with some pictures so I can track the progress here on this blog.
