The Philpott Lake Project

Information

I came across almost 50 unused postcards of an unfortunate looking lake in Virginia at a junk shop yesterday and I think they have potential.

I was hoping that I could send them out to any interested artist, they could alter them as they see fit, send them back to me, and I could publish the responses in any format the group would like. Maybe I could scan them and create a Tumblr page?

No restrictions on the medium or content, first 47 responses, and I will publish as we go.

I am open to any and all suggestions.

I am also a new member, so please correct and forgive me if I don't understand quite how things work yet. Participants will be sent a piece of art from me as well.

Comment by Diana Hale on June 11, 2015 at 1:41pm: Arrived home to find so many fantastic pieces of art in my PO box. Many thanks to you all. I will post photos of received work and send blanks to Stripygoose and Mizael shortly. I am truly impressed by everyone's contributions so far.

Comment by stripygoose on June 5, 2015 at 8:10pm: Hope I'm not too late to join in!

Comment by Heleen de Vaan on June 1, 2015 at 8:43pm: Received the interesting and inspiring card, and wow, such a beautiful envelope, thank you very much, DIana!

I posted them in my 'real weird animals' blog.

As written there, there are some ideas in mind already how to add to it. But I'll let them grow for a few more days before I'll start to turn them into reality.

To be continued :-)
