Pay It Forward

As I touched on in an earlier post, I signed up with Mary Klein to carry on her "Pay It Forward" art exchange. These are the rules:

I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.

So I will send small paintings out to the first 3 people who comment on my blog signing up for the PIF exchange. Make sure to send me a delivery address to me at doingart-at-gmail-period-com.

I don't know exactly what I'm sending out yet, but I figure it needs to be a fair step up from the postcard drawings-- heck, I'm already giving those out for free. Small, paintings, as good as I can make 'em. It may take me a few weeks, but I'll get them to you in time for Christmas. I may even throw in a frame!

Dude, you've been cranking out the art..congratulations. Looks good. And I'm totally into this pay it forward since I've been waiting for such a long time (slow melody...). Which address would you like?

And I'm back on USA soil, about to head home.

okay, scrap the previous comment and count me in. now that i go back and read mary's post, i see it's just "handmade gift". i have several color slides i love enough to print, mat, and share. maybe i'll even be inspired to generate new ones.

Lindsey,
Though I wasn't clear, I would not exclude any handcrafted item as eligible for my Pay It Forward exchange. Welcome aboard.

Hey! Four comments, but only two joiners! Me! Me! I'm the third!

This is a great idea. Now, what am I going to make . . .
