ART AND SOLE POSTCARD CHALLENGE

I showed you guys a couple of weeks ago a video on a postcard book I am making for a project. The project is the Art & Sole Postcard Challenge.

My friend Teri and I decided to do it together. It involves visiting 52 countries over the year while maintaining a Griffin and Sabine type postcard communication. The first country visited was Austria. Teri started the project by sending me this postcard as Darcy Higgins. This is the front of the postcard which Teri (who draws beautifully) drew for me!


This is the back of the postcard:


My country was Spain. Ms. Melody Riggs is currently visiting Barcelona. This is the front of the card:


And this is the back:


Since I of course am sending Teri the originals, I am making color copies of the ones I do and putting them on really thin chipboard so that i have one continuous story. I will post pictures of the journal as I do it.

  1. Oooh I love this! You did an amazing job aging the back of this card, and the flamenco dancer is dreamy.

  3. What a great project - wish I had a someone to partner with - looks like a lot of fun and you actually can learn something about the country if you are sending a postcard. Diana
