Welcome to February 2009

Greetings one and all! I hope everyone has had an enjoyable Christmas and New Year...for those who have school aged children, I trust that they are all back at school, and well and truely into the routine of their new classes......I am certainly experiencing the "hitting the ground running" type of feeling so far this year!

So, now we are into the second month of 2009...... it's time to review the directions each of you would like to take in terms of this collaboration. I think there are a possible four options, please consider each option and reply by the last day in February, to your group leader or myself your intentions.
Option One: Continue with the postcards as per our original vision

Option Two: Finish with the postcard collaboration and change to a book collaboration

Option three: Finish with the postcard collaboration and at this point decide not to be a part of a book collaboration

Option Four: Maybe someone has a burning desire to present another idea for a collaboration to the existing group, which of course may involve artists not presently collaborating with this group. - I love new ideas!!

Whatever option we each choose I believe it would be great if we could each complete the postcards we are currently in possession of. If artists have fallen behind with sending out their originating postcard themes then perhaps the option of these being completed could be discussed and negotiated within their own group.

I will also send out individual emails to each of you, this may not be until the weekend as I am awaiting a new computer to be put together - (your addresses are on this computer!)

I have just posted off completed postcards to Kym, Rochelle x 2, Kristin and Tracey! I will put some photos up when my new computer is up and running!! I had a lot of fun putting these postcards together!

I am looking forward to hearing from each of you!!

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.
Kym, I would like to thankyou for your wonderful efforts of setting up the blog and continuing to maintain it, it has been a valuable opportunity to share thoughts and art with others and to be able to connect with other collaborators across the country and the oceans - THANKS!!!
To Donna and Olley, a big thankyou to you both for so capably and gently encouraging your respective group members participation - THANKS!!!
Once again......THANKS!!! to all of YOU for your enthusiasm, participation and collaboration!!!
