It's on again the Wingtip press leftovers mini print exchange and exhibition

 and this year I have finally gotten my act together and printed my very own mini print to send to Idaho to be included :) I am very excited as in return for my 14 prints that I send I will be sent in return 12 prints from 12 other artists

 I love getting this kind of mail :)

all dried and covered with protective acid free velum read for packing

all packed and ready to be posted to Idaho :)

The history of Leftovers:

Leftovers began in 2009 as a result of finding too many scraps of leftover printing papers jamming our flatfiles. We put out a call to artists to use those scraps to create an edition of prints no larger than 5" x 7" and receive a random dozen prints in 

return.  We have grown from an initial 60 participants to 155 in 2012.  Artists now produce 14 prints, receive 12 in return. Of the two remaining prints, one is used for exhibitions and the second is featured in a Silent Auction to raise funds for Hunger

 This popular portfolio has become international in scope - not only with international printmakers but with exhibitions in the US, Wales and New Zealand. This year's 2013 Leftovers IV portfolio has been invited to Australia!  They hope to continue the exhibition schedule to include Wharepuke Gallery in New Zealand and Swansea Print Workshop in Wales and welcome the opportunity for additional exhibitions so if you are a gallery and would like to support this then please follow the link below they will be very happy to hear from you
