Dropping Art

Last week on September 2nd was World Art Drop Day. I had so much fun getting two of my prints ready to hide in the library!

The one above is an older print of mine that I hid in the picture books with a note. I heard that several of the librarians saw it and would have taken it, but they left it for a patron. It was finally taken the day after I hid it. Hopefully it's gone to a good home!


This print was one I did a few years ago as a submission for the Rocky Mountain SCBWI. They had text to be included, so I left an area above and below blank on the print, scanned it, and added the text on the computer. Then for years I had this print hanging out in my WAAAAAAY too full flat file and it just looked incomplete. I quickly added some hand lettered text while Tessa was eating breakfast and  brought both prints when we went to storytime. This one I hid back in the area that librarians use to prep for crafts. I gave the librarian a hint and told her it was artwork for the library. It was found and it sounds like it is much loved!


This is how it turned out- I like it with the hand lettering!

  2. Thank you, Mousy! It was fun to give away- especially because I hid it. It was like a treasure hunt!
