4x6 Art Swap Round 4 - Gallery

@LuckyXIIICreations I love how the songbird just popped brightly against the dark background.

@Reinikka The layered pages with tags are so fun! Beautiful palette

@pioneer9 Great uplifting lady. Gorgeous is a great word for it.

@LuckyXIIICreations Nice job on the trees, especially the trunk highlights. It makes me want to take a walk while we still have great sunlight.

@pioneer9 - what a beautiful piece! The figure is so expressive, and I adore the contrast and textures in the colour scheme.

@LuckyXIIICreations - those trees are lovely - the foliage is so soft and full of sunlight!

I received this fun doodled piece from @Cindy

I really like the pops of color.

Thank you!

@LuckyXIIICreations thet bright colorful bird on the black background is so striking! And your trees luck great.

@Reinikka i love all your bits!

@Cindy so glad you joined in! Love the doodles.

I received several days ago and the week has gotten away from me.

From @Lynx
So bright and colorful! It gives me Basquiat-ish vibes!

And from @pioneer9
Love the lady and the sentiment (which is similar to the one I used on the last art journal page!) ! And all the texture. I really like seeing the book print peeking through.

I love the diversity of each piece. Everyone’s own style is shining through.

The background on that Imagine from @Lynx is beautiful.

I love the pour heart from @LuckyXIIICreations.

The cut out diamonds on the tag piece from @Reinikka is such a cool detail. And I love the tag, too.

Both pieces from @pioneer9 are so unique with great details. I love the dresses in particular. (PS - shout out to a fellow Jersey crafter. :wink:)

And @Cindy’s doodles are mesmerizing.

First, “Foggy Mountain” from @Lynx :

Thank you both!

Yay, that was quick! I’m so glad you like it! I mixed up the pieces so it was completely random who got what. :blush:

I’ll come back and comment when on computer, but first I wanted to share this really neat piece @Smmarrt sent me! It’s such a different style from what I’ve received before. Thank you!

I really liked the tissue paper, too, so I had to show it off!

“Renew” (so many fun layers and textures!)

And the beautiful card it came with (I almost thought this was the art and didn’t know why something else was wrapped in tissue paper :sweat_smile:)

Thank you @Edel :heart: I love it!

So I totally missed this gallery! Awesome stuff. I love the masterboards and the layering in so many pieces. And the landscapes-fabulous

Oh my gosh 2 gorgeous pieces from @Smmarrt and @Edel!! Stunning. :star_struck:

Sitting down at computer to finally comment on all these awesome pieces!

@reinikka: I love the scrappiness of your pieces and how you used a music page scrap as a focal point in “Play and Create”. The penned squares are a fun touch in your piece for kayrun.

@pioneer9: I’m really glad you like your foggy mountain piece! I’m always a sucker for mountains! My daughter recently purchased a shirt with moon phases, and that stands out a a fun part of your piece. I agree that “you are glorious” is a fabulous sentiment, and the whole piece is wonderful!

Your “it will be okay” piece is so special. I think everyone needs to remember that every once in a while.

@LuckyXIIICreations What a beautiful poured paint heart! That’s a craft I’d like to learn sometime! Still loving on your tree piece as well!

@geekgirl, I’m so glad you like your Imagine piece! I think I mentioned to you in my letter that I wasn’t sure I would be able to join the masterboard swap, so attempted a masterboard-esque style background for this one. Luckily, I was able to do that one, too!

@abbeeroad the swirl is such a great idea and the sentiment is something that everyone needs to remember every once in a while, as well.

@edel, there is so much going in your “renew” piece! Scrappiness, sewn stitches, a bird! Lots to love and look at!

All the sentiments on the pieces so far are just perfect!

I am the lucky recipient of one of @Smmarrt’s pieces! I completely forgot she was sending to me so it was such a nice surprise in my mailbox!

So much awesomeness I had to capture it all. Here’s a close up of the art:

I love it! Thank you Smmarrt! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Just popping in to say that the tissue paper is from a Joggles order. I love opening packages from them - first for the goodies I ordered, but secondly for the tissue paper!

I picked the mail up on the way to picking up Hubs and found this beauty from @Edel.

Common blue damselfly in ink and watercolor. They represent transformation.

So in love with it and it will fit right in with all my pond life tchotchkes when I’m home again.

@Cindy - your doodled pieces really pop! so fun and zingy with the bright contrast

@LuckyXIIICreations - the paint pour piece is so pretty and delicate! The painted border around the heart has a lovely lacy effect

@Lynx - the ‘imagine’ piece is super cool and vibrant - full of energy! And the foggy mountain is lovely - so atmospheric!

@pioneer9 - another gorgeous figure! I love your colour schemes

@Abbeeroad - the layers of colours in your pieces are fabulous! The way you’ve filled the space with the spiral works so well - really eye-catching. And I love all the different kinds of marks in the circle piece - so much to look at

@Smmarrt - your pieces really make me smile! fantastic layering and composition, and such fun subjects

@Edel - the texture in the ‘renew’ piece is amazing! so organic and tactile. And the damselfly is just beautiful! love the shimmer in the wings

Everyone’s art is wonderful to look at!
