I mailed my postcard this morning. I forgot to take a photo of it, so I'm looking forward to it being posted at the tumbler page so I may show it to a friend of mine.

Good idee with the map. I hope that you soon can put a needle on my little country - Denmark-

Hey minneapolis gnome--what a great addition to the project! Enjoyed reading about your process for re-creating the card.

Hi Diana--really like the map of participants' location--makes a great visual. Use it in the exhibit if it comes to pass. Thanks again for initiating this fun project!

I am sorry, Erin.  Good news is that I have one with your name on it.  I will send one in the morning.

Hi Diana, So still no postcard in the mail :( 

If you still have any left please feel free to resend... Stupid post office. Losing all kinds of art :(

Dear Diana

I poste my contribution to the Philpott Lake Project tomorrow. I think you may have it in a week or so.

Kind regards

Birthe

M eV nF, I still owe you lots of art, no rush.  If anyone is curious, here is a map of where the cards have come from so far (approximately).

      I think an exhibit at Philpott would be a great idea and I imagine the folks there at Philpott Lake would be excited to see it and know that people from around the world participated.  

        You're right about how I made the postcard - I took one of your digital photos of the postcard and went hunting for appropriate pictures of fishing gnomes.  I used pixlr.com to re-size the gnome photos and erased everything around the gnomes from those pictures.  I did a little bit of digital drawing on poles, fishing line and fish and erased some of the gnome in the boat to let the tree branches look like they were in front of him.  I printed the photo, then glued it onto the original post card and used white out tape to create the white border after feeling like my white gel pen just didn't look enough like a post card one might buy at a shop.

       I've never done an "art call" before and I really liked this.  I hope you consider doing more projects like this in the future because you did such an awesome job with this one.  Like I said, I love the fish envelope, etc. that you sent - just so awesome.
