Let's Get Started!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

My Name is Kym Simms & I am very excited to be involved with The Postcard Collaboration.

We have a group of ladies in Biloela called BAVA- Biloela Area Visual Arts. We have a Blog for our group, so I was keen to ask Peta, if I could help organise one for all the Postcard Collaborators. The Blog can then be shared with family, friends & interested artists throughout the world.

Everyone is invited to post their stories, photo's & any news they would like to share with the Artists involved in this venture. I would like to put a profile of everyone on the RHS of the blog. Name, portrait photo, DOB, like & dislikes - something to share about yourself. You can email this through to me if you would like to.

Little steps at first understanding the posting and photo downloads. If you have any problems or would like to post some news but are a bit nervous..send through your news of the day & I will be very happy to post it for you & any photo's you have attached. To log on & make comments you have to register for a Google account which is similar to any other web subscription.





So, Let's get started!!!! I received my Postcard Info today & I felt like a child, so excited about receiving my colourful envelope with the Postcard goodies inside.
Now.....Peta knows how many times I read through the details to understand the planning of this great event......Yes, the penny did drop & I am now ready to send off my postcards on May 1st.

I am looking forward to seeing these postcards come to life over the next twelve months & to meet the all collaborators along the way.
Having Fun with ART'08

I hope at some point that we may all be able to come together to share our books and postcards with each other!
For those continuing with the postcards, I believe that Olley has already communicated with you about how you will be continuing with this great project.
For everyone, please if you can, complete the postcards you have in your possession, if this is not possible then simply return to the originating artist as is.
For those who have chosen to change to the Altered Book Collaboration I will send out a group email within the next week to outline the details.

Once again......THANKS!!! to all of YOU for your enthusiasm, participation and collaboration!!!
