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 July 2, 2015 at 11:12pm: Erin, I sent it 6/12, please let me know if you think we should wait a few days or if I should go ahead and send another. I know shipping to Canada can be a little unpredictable. I am sorry that it hasn't arrived yet.

Comment by Erin Young on July 2, 2015 at 11:06pm: Hi Diana, Just wondering what day you sent the postcard to me? I haven't received yet :(

Comment by Diana Hale on July 2, 2015 at 10:59pm: Thanks, Juana. Such beautiful work! I will post several more tomorrow. Apologies for the delay. I was thinking I might start putting together a little pin map as well, it might be interesting to see where everyone is.

Comment by Minneapolis Gnome on June 25, 2015 at 4:18pm: Hi Diana,

Our postcard should be arriving in your mailbox soon inside a white envelope!

Comment by Diana Hale on June 25, 2015 at 4:13pm: Stripygoose, your card should arrive soon. Tiziana, I have one going in the mail today. Thank you everyone. You are all fantastic!

Comment by Diana Hale on June 19, 2015 at 6:00pm: "Erin and Birthe, your postcards are on the way. I hope everyone else has received one by now. If you haven't, please let me know."

Comment by FinnBadger on June 18, 2015 at 8:10pm: Glad to see my little creature made it.

I forgot to add a caption...I like to think of him as an alien on vacation, so he would write: "Wish you were here, this place has the most perfect posing stump!"
