I am super thrilled to be playing this collaboration game
with other Steemian artists.
Together we have been churning out some amazing artwork and building a strong artists community within the Steemit community.
The finale of our most recent collaboration
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Shattered Rainbows"
included
*** 17 artists ***
and
*** 31 collaborative masterpieces! ***
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
!!!!! @firepower has now blessed us with our very own chat room !!!!!
There we can display all of our collaborative pieces, including all other Steemit collaborative pieces that anyone works together on on Steemit, not just those I have instigated. There will be easy access to our post and view our repertoire, and you'll see the other art collaborations on Steemit you may wish to jump in on. We can also chat about them and spur on the sharing of more collaborative possibilities. Invite your other artist friends to join us.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's time again to play!!!
~*~*~*~*~ This is how we do it: ~*~*~*~*~
1.
I offer up this creation to be used as a base for the collaborative piece.
This is a photo I took of my drink with floating chia seeds, inside a faceted glass.
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, poetry, a story or other imaginative play.
You can make as many versions as you'd like--we wouldn't want to stifle ourselves because of number limitations either.
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
Sunday, January 1, 2017 at Midnight CST.
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.
(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.)
7.
I will be donating rewards from this post to my favorite and most honorable group doing humanitarian works, @gardenofeden. The @gardenofeden eco-village will be featured on MTV this coming week.
(I am a full-time volunteer at the @gardenofeden, building a new world based on 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!)
8.
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!
9.
Upvote, resteem, share in chats, and make comments to help spread the joy of our artistic endeavors. Supporting each other is truly some of the greatest beauty of this platform. Please take note of other artists' participation and give them some extra love.
10.
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 note that by participating in these collaborations, all artists hereby grant permission to have their art shared in some other way (perhaps a show, printing them, making a gift of them, or otherwise). I will give updates as I figure out how best to use them, and of course, give credit where credit is due.If you don't want to give permission, please don't play.
I'm excited to receive more beautiful gifts from you.
I'll send it back in love to you ten fold.
