I started this series because I was gifted with a bunch of vintage postcards with many multiples. I love multiples for making series. I'd been cutting shells out of a book and thought they'd be perfect for this. On the reverse is this story: The towns' people gathered annually on the shores of the Suwannee River to watch the Shell Flotilla (or something like that.)…

I'm going to be hosting a Slow Art Day event again this year, on 11 April. Again, I'll be using the Virginia Museum of Fine Art as my venue. I've chosen 5 pieces of art for people to spend an hour looking at. If you haven't heard of this event before, check out the web site. There may be a venue near you. It's quite fun to participate.

Lovely paper and ink work - but no regular mail addy - I'm always surprised when artists will contribute such beautiful work and not allow reciprocation. I emailed him and requested a regular post address and sent him a digital piece of my own art - yet I feel it lacks the permanence and beauty…

I put an ad in Node Pajomo asking for people to send me postcards upon which they have made a black and white pattern, preferably a complex one. So far, I have not had many responses and I realized I should post about it here, also. For the time being, there are only two results from this project (I add to/change/or re-envision the images sent to me and send them back to the one who sent me the postcard in the first place).
