INVITATION: Collaborative Art Journey..."Wisdom of the Ancients" -- This is your invitation to Collaborate! Whatever your expression, BRING IT ON!


We are doing profound works.


Our most recent collaborative art effort "Rejuvenation"


included 23 Steemian artists creating 25 amazing masterpieces 


from one single image.


The finale of  "Rejuvenation" 


 will be shared in the next day or so.  


Check in soon and see all of our new additions to the repertoire.


 ~*~*~*~*~NOW~*~*~*~*~

It's time again to play the Collaborative Art Journey game!!!

 This is how we do it: 

1.

MY OFFERING 

" Wisdom of the Ancients" 

to be used as a base for the collaborative piece.


I grew up in the mountains so I am naturally a tree person.  I really love how they speak to me.   I am in great appreciation of every part of the tree, and especially love all the personal little quirks they develop over time, showing their own individual personality.   I believe trees contain wisdom of the ancients, standing tall and breathing the gift of life of the divine.  This is a photo I took in the morning's sun of a knot on  the tree beside our deck .  It's a little nook where little hidden faerie treasures are known to be found.


2.

TRANSFORM IT
Print the image or do whatever it is you 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, a gif, a video, or other imaginative play.

You can make as many versions as you'd like--we wouldn't want to stifle ourselves!

We're artists, so anything goes!


3.

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).

***As a reminder--there is presently a gliche kind-of-a-thing happening on Steemit that will somehow keep your post from being widely seen IF you use 5 tags.  So, the solution for now is:  Use 4 tags only.


5.

SHARE IT HERE
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
Wednesday, January 18, 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.

PAYING IT FORWARD
I will be donating rewards from this post to my favorite and most honorable group doing humanitarian works, @gardenofeden.  

Enjoy some sound advice on being responsible for yourself:  If You are Feeling Lonely at the Holidays or Any Day, Consider This: There Is No One to Count on BUT Yourself by visionary and founder @quinneaker.

(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! Here is Why We Live In Community.

8.

INVITE
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.

SUPPORT AND SHARE THE LOVE
Upvote, resteem, share in chats, and make comments to help spread the joy of our artistic endeavors.  Let's help all of our posts and masterpieces have a powerful opportunity to be seen. 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.

POST IN THE CHATROOM
"Art-Collaborations-Links-and-Creative-Inspirations"

This is the perfect place to promote these collaboration posts, encourage discussion, and an easy, all-in-one place to view and support others working together toward building a powerful artist community through shared art.
If you participate in other art collaborations on Steemit, feel free to use this chatroom to share those collaborations as well.   Please use this chatroom ONLY for collaborative work.  No individual posts please.

11.

GRANTING PERMISSION
Important!!! --  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 at my discretion).  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 am incredibly grateful and honored to be playing with this community of high-caliber artists.

I'm excited to see the transformation YOU make to this image.

!*!*!*! Let's Play !*!*!*!
