!!! It's great having playmates !!!

All of the art collaborations we have done as a Steemit Artist's Community have been 

ASTOUNDING!!!!

From one of my own pieces of art, over 20 more emerged from our last collaboration!

These are our Steemit Artists at play!!

All made from my original piece of art:

This is a portion of my painting/drawing on canvas with watercolors, acrylics, colored pencils and ink.

The finale of our most recent collaboration is here, sharing the posts from each individual artists, including their process.  I'm certain these pieces will inspire you to join in on this next opportunity for collaborative creation happening NOW!

This is the way to play:

1.

I offer up this creation to be used as a base for the collaborative piece.

This is a photo taken of recycled guitar strings hung in the window in our kitchen.  I'm excited to see what you can do with this photo "No Strings Attached".

2.
Print the image or do whatever
it is you need to do to add to/or alter it.
(i.e., including but not limited to painting, drawing,
adding other photographs, collaging,
altering it digitally or however you wish . . .

or perhaps even adding a tune like @lloyddavis did for our Ned's Head collaboration, or perhaps a music video like @allgoodthings did with the artwork of others.)

We're artists, so anything goes!

3.
Then make a post about it,
sharing your process and anything about it that inspires you.

Note: Making a post is not a requirement to play, so don't let any time constraints or "rules" get your patties up in a wad.  But, if you do make a post about it with your process we can share our works more prolifically and people will likely be intrigued by seeing how it developed.  I know I will!

4.
Tag your post with #art and #CollaborativeArtJourney (and of course any other tag that fits your finished piece).

5.
Copy the link from your post into a comment below.

(If you don't make a post--though I hope you will--please just post your finished piece in the comments below so we can find it easily.)

6.

Deadline for this submission is
Saturday, December 3, 2016 at Midnight CST.

(If you don't make it by the deadline, that doesn't mean  you can't play, it just means I may post our finale piece before you get your submission in to be included.)

After the deadline I will make a post featuring all the collaborations
and highlighting all the different pieces inspired by the same original photo/art.

7.
This round I will be donating any rewards from the post to my favorite and most honorable group doing humanitarian works:  the @gardenofeden. 

 (I am a full-time volunteer at the @gardenofeden, living the vision of @quinneaker, creating a life based on sustainability, freedom and responsibility--holding space for the betterment of humanity and freedom for the children!  This is an incredibly worthy cause I support with 100% of my energy!  Here is a taste of just two weeks in the @gardenofeden vortex.)

8.

IMPORTANT:  Soon I will come up with an idea for sharing all of our inspired works.  I'm not sure how that will play out, but please also make a note in the comments below when posting your art giving permission (or not) to use your pieces in a show, printing them, or some other means of sharing.  I want to be certain I don't step on anyone's toes in finding new outlets for these collaborative pieces and of course giving credit where credit is due.  I will give updates as I figure out how best to use them.

9.  

If you know other artists, musicians, videographers, photographers or others who would also like to play, please share this post so we can get the artistic juices and steem rolling, while expanding our artists' community for all artists, including others outside the visual arts!

10.

Upvote, resteem, share in chats, and make comments to help spread the joy of our artistic endeavors.  

Our artists community is getting stronger and we are building a great bond with one another.  It is so fun to play with all of you and see all the great content we are creating together.  

Visit some of my other posts on art and art collaborations.  I feel you'll be inspired just by seeing what we have done.
