Postcards created by Peta ~ "imAGinAtion"


Hi Everyone......
Upon arrival home tonight I found 2 postcards in my letterbox, one from Tracey from Theodore and the one that I posted back to myself from my first set of seven for the first round! Well done Australia Post!

Tracey has chosen "Home" for her theme for this round....it's a theme I love...I've already begun thinking and planning what I can do....the unadorned card is lovely in itself with one side painted a bronze with a repetition pattern all over it, the 'front' is addressed in groovy handwriting with the theme running along the top of it..

I have spoken to a few collaborators clarifying the whole process...hopefully everyone is now on the right track...if you're unsure or unclear please ask me questions!

Happy creating

Peta

Hi Everyone,

I'm really looking forward to seeing what will be created by us all through this collaboration. My first lot of postcards are ready to go...feeling a bit nervous if they'll be Ok, but just have to get over that! My theme is 'Home': whatever or wherever you feel safe, secure,nurtured, sheltered and protected...doesn't have to be a building, could be a person, an activity, a town...a state of mind?!

Can't wait to start receiving cards...I'm wondering what my very conventional post office man (who is quite lovely) is going to make of all the fun mail coming into my mailbox!

Look forward to hearing from you all and getting to know everyone...

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!!!
