Can you square it like Mondrian? ~ Due August 28 (non-Australians post by - July 31)

welcome to: Bloodofeve, Amai and TrinaLD. These cards really are a lot of fun

Lorna and Bloodofeve - your cards are great, don't forget to tell me when you mail
 
Yes, the graph is 1/16" squares. I have to work in 200% to be able to see it. I have done many such graphs. These are 2 I did for other swaps. So, is it acceptable for me to join the swap?

I enjoyed exploring more of Mondrians work, especially discovering his representational work - I always find it so cool when people who work in abstract styles can also knock a classic painting out of the park too. I did have some regrets part way through Boogie Woogie… soo many pieces!

I am totally impressed with your collage work - cutting all of those tiny pieces. Yes, I also enjoyed exploring more of his work and really love some of his other works very much.

Thank you - I relied very heavily in my punches to cut down on my cutting 😄

Swap Due Date - August 28 recommended postage date for non-Australians - July 31 I live in Australia - mail will NOT reach me quickly! I suggest you allow at least 4 weeks Number of Cards - 3:3 or 6:6 Number of participants - unlimited Medium - anything I have been fascinated by Piet Mondrian's style for years as I feel that it is something that even I can achieve. On a recent visit to the Museum of Australian Photography (MAPh) in Melbourne I managed to buy a set of playing cards featuring 52 of his designs so thought that this was a chance to see if I could inspire others to try his style. To quote the description included with the cards: 'The compositions of his mature period use only black, white and primary colours, based solely on the rectangle and square, the vertical and horizontal, representing the essential opposing forces: positive and negative, dynamic and static. . . and (in his view) masculine and feminine.' Your mission, if you decide to accept it, is to use this description as the basis for your ATCs. Here are 4 examples from the set of cards showing his descriptions and style over the years. View attachment 830584 View attachment 830582 View attachment 830583 View attachment 830585 You can see here that he included green, grey and orange as primary colours so I will accept all colours as well. Post to the thread to sign up or you can't get fun Rep comments. PM me for my address when you are ready to mail - if you have an address in Robina I am still here. I am an on-time Host so please take note of the suggested mail date at the top of the thread. Postage Australian players: please include a $1.70 stamp International players: please include a well-hidden US $2 OR a Global Forever stamp. ALL players please include a LARGE address label (at least 2" x2"). I will provide envelopes. 1) do your best work - I plan to swap effort-for-effort as much as I can 2) clearly write your USERNAME and the SWAP NAME on the back of all your cards (so you can get fun Rep comments) and on the back of your mailing envelope. I am running a few swaps and do not want to put you with the wrong returns. 3) please mail early to allow time to reach Australia 4) an extra card for the swap Host is greatly appreciated but is not required 5) I will give feedback when I receive your cards and update this post. In return, I encourage you to give Host feedback when you receive your returns, and Rep comments to the artists whose cards you receive. After all, knowing where your cards went is half the fun, I think PLAYERS 0. donnacr - received 1. janae 2. KerensaC 3. LuK 4. Antjen 5. Roekie 6. Lunna 7.

so sorry to have gone missing but we have the 2 grandkids (12 & 7) overnight during the school holidays and, this week it was 2 nights and 2 days as Mum was running in a half marathon with a very early start. We love having them but it is exhausting!!
Antjen, Roekie and leydab - great cards and I will tell you when they arrive. Amai - love your collage, have you mailed yet?
welcome to Dooda and Malina - I have sent you both my address
LilRhody - I am assuming that you want to join the swap. If so - welcome! If you have any questions either ask in the thread or send me a direct message (click on the button under my avatar)

Sympathies! Had my grandson 3 days 2 nights and very nearly did not survive🤪. Thankfully he draws as well so 2 days were fun then the 9yr old snark came out🙄.IMG_20260706_083622698.jpg
