ONE PERSON'S QUEST TO RESURRECT SNAIL MAIL!
P O S T C A R D S F R O M D A K: A TRAVELOG OF MY MIND'S MISSIVES AND GRIPES
I have been creating my own postcards for months but decided to begin sharing them in this blog. Most are created with visual scraps found in snail mail for snail mail: There are few preprinted, diecut, acid-free, or otherwise prettified scrapbook paper--just whatever magazines or newspapers are deliverd to my door. Please note that most postcards are in the form of missives (thougtful messages) or gripes ( reflections on various issues). These postcards travel not just through real time and space, but over time will reflect the travels my mind will be taking. I hope you enjoy readindg my occaisional textual blogs and viewing my postcards as I add more each week!
You are correct--it is a shame that more people don't mail letters to each other anymore. I have letters that my mother wrote me while I was in the military that I particulary cherish because she died when I was only 19. There is an entire generation growing up that will not have this important piece of personal history.
ReplyDeleteI like your postcards and look forward to seeing more. Great new blog!
