WE--TOGETHER...

56 ArtiSTeemians have created 259 

COLLABORATIVE ART JOURNEY MASTERPIECES!!!

Even in the midst of trying times, the artists on Steemit come through.

They give from the heart what they are best at giving, and do it with a joyful spirit.

The loving energy infused in these collaborations is beyond measure,

and we couldn't ask for a more positive experience

being created together from around the globe.

One of the things that inspires me most about this collaboration,

is that it is not a competition.

The artists do not play here to win or to receive compensation.

I offer no rewards for participation or for being the "best"!

Every artist who has participated doesn't just make a simple comment,
but actually engages by DOING something to create valuable content.
They make a post about their process, follow the other artists, support,
engage in positive exchange,
and are even beginning to offer up their own work for collaboration.

I am honored to be surrounded by so many good feeling people.

This artists' community inspires me and I am grateful to be a part of this journey.

LET'S PLAY AGAIN!!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

This is how we do it: 

1.

MY OFFERING 

I offer you  "  S L I V E R ' S   E D G E  "  

to be used as a base for the collaborative piece.

I will tell you what this photo is taken of in the FINALE post.

You can throw out some guesses now if you want to.   

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, a book, 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).

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
Sunday, March 26, 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 (www.intothegardenofeden.com).  

(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 my Steemit Best Undiscovered Author  award winning post about children's lives at the Garden of Eden.

Here is what we're up to right now at the @gardenofeden:
Ethical Merchantry: The Isness of Our Business
A few words of  Support

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.
