Can you contribute? Can I think about his for a while?
There are (at least) 2 possibilities: i) I have 'guest' envelopes, but that might destroy both the integrity and the uniformity of what I'm trying to do; ii) I have an exhibition within my exhibition which welcomes external contributions -- I have sufficient space for this.
Let me think about it for a while, BUT...
in the meantime you can always send me an envelope, and I will, of course, send you back one in return.
Regards, Val

Can we contribute to this Valentine? I'm getting REALLY into pimping envelopes right now!

Got mine today Val.
Besides the A-side, an aside on the B-side - like the comments

Hi again! It's a good idea. How would you get the Friend IN the envelope? With a photo, a drawing, or...? Would the Envelope be sent to that friend? What would it contain -- personal memories, thoughts, etc? I once considered writing a book about 'The 20 (or more or less) people who had most influenced me in my life to date' -- an open and frank account as to how they had impacted on my life. I discussed this with a friend (who was one of the 20) only to be told that i would probably be faced with 20 court cases for, inter alia, libel, slander, defamation, etc. (Well 19, as one was already attempting to mount a legal action against me -- but he didn't, tee hee!) But the idea lives on in my head (as does the sunflower). That's all! Val

Dear Lauriana, I had to laugh at this! Now I really know why I don't eat MacDonalds'. It takes all sorts. Reagrds, Val

Dear ainssomeone (and Snooky and Lauriana), perhaps I should be providing a big self-addressed, pre-stamped Envelope so my Friends could attend? Then there could be a parallel Exhibition -- "A Friend a Day in an envelope'! Regards, Val

Thanks Snooky. I'll start with the complimentary wine and pastis provided by the Mayor and the Council, and then hit the catnip: or pocket some for Bianca and Trouble;

Thanks Lauriana, and sorry that you can't make it to the Deep South (of France). I have had a similiar project in my head for a few years, and that is to take a photo the same sunflower at the same time of day everyday from when it first breaks through the soil to when it dies. I'd chart it's growth day-by-day by propping a measuring device (like you see on archaelogical digs) on one side of it, and on the other a little blackboard with the date on. One day, perhaps...
Regards, Val
