This was interesting -- making an 'edition' of something.Here are the 20 postcards for the exchange I joined drying in one of the bookcases (also a glimpse of high and low reading material that has, so far, survived my six-bags-full "get rid of the books!" frenzy...).
I had my usual trouble figuring out how to finish the pieces and wrestled with the backs more than is reasonable. Next time, I think I will print the backs on the computer, especially if I decide again to use a longish quotation as the message. Penning in "People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things around us --Iris Murdoch" twenty times was more exercise than I'm used to.
Meanwhile, the first of the books for the Australia-sparked exchange has come in -- and I learned that I completely misunderstood the size of the intended pages. So this is a case where procrastination is good -- the pages are half the size I imagined (but twice the size my sputtering research suggested). So I can now get started on that in earnest.

And Frankie's book is not too far away, providing the postie doesn't take one of those detours!
wow! 20???? I'm impressed and would love to see the fronts.
and you shall see at least one of the fronts -- but I think the etiquette of these things is to send them to participants before posting them on your own blog. I could be wrong, but I think that's how it goes. There was a mock up and a pic ofthe fabrics in an earlier post (June 22).
