I have become very fortunate in finding on line artitsts that share my passion of art. I have joined several journal swaps over the years. I am now working in a pass created by Ayala Art (Martha)in a facebook group called "Face in The World and Other Art Projects".
https://www.facebook.com/groups/352215974885012/.
The way it works is : you make a journal and suggest a theme, send it to the next artist, she creates a page then sends it to the next artist. It continues to all the contributors until it returns home to you. I have finished a page in Gina's journal. Her theme is " "How do you amuse your Muse?". I chose to paint Buddha not because he amuses my muse but because his words inspire my muse.
It warms my heart to be able to contribute my art to journals that travel the world and to receive the beautiful gifts of art from the other artists.

This sounds like a neat and fun way for artists to share their work with other artists. Sort like poem writers share on the Internet using blogs? http://withrealtoads.blogspot.com for example (Real Toads in the Imaginary Garden blog).
Do you send the journal using the (snail) mail networks? Are some journals exchanged via virtual media?

What fun you are having and using your creativity ~ would seem like something good to join ~
Wishing you the magic and love of the season

That sounds like a great idea. I don't belong to Facebook so I couldn't log in.
You're part of an awesome joyous group. That's so cool!

Love this idea - I loved the one too that artists were leaving their artwork out for strangers to pick up and enjoy in a random act of kindness last month - both have warmed my heart your Buddha is amazing!

What a great idea! I like Jim's comment and would like to hear the answers to his questions.
Jim and Judie, yes, all done with snail mail.
This is an amazing idea!
And I love the idea of using snail mail. How fun to receive something neat in the mailbox instead of bills!
This creative idea warmed my heart!
Thank you for sharing it.
Happy New Year and...
XOXO
