Hrm... something went wrong.
Hey, bad things happen to the best of us. Don't worry, the gnomes have been dispatched. Maybe try again in a little while.

Ok

Pendants!

January 29th - via: kickstarter.com
Now drying on my work table: 15 sweet postcard pendants.  The glass tiles are slightly domed on top, so the way the image looks in each pendant changes, depending on the angle of the viewer. It's sort of an unexpected design feature, and it's kinda... (Read More)

Postcards #031 - #041

January 27th - via: kickstarter.com
OK, here are the next 11 postcards:  #031-#033 are to solve the "everybody loves the balloons" problem. Those of you who previously selected #016 as your favorite may get one of these instead. #041 is for Noah, who made a special request for a card... (Read More)

Pendant Rewards Closed

January 27th - via: kickstarter.com
This morning, I've closed the rewards that contain the postcard pendants. Those of you who have selected one of those rewards can still remove yourself from them, but no further backers will be added at those levels. They're closed because I'm just... (Read More)

Print Postcards Closed

January 25th - via: kickstarter.com
Just a heads up: I've closed the two rewards that come with printed postcards, because I'm just about ready to finalize the designs, and send them to print. I'm hoping to do that later today, or tomorrow. Those of you who have chosen either the $35... (Read More)

About Those Numbers...

January 24th - via: kickstarter.com
So, here are all 30 postcards I've done so far:  I'm keeping track of the numbers everyone has been throwing out. Don't be shy about asking for three or four different designs. I'll do my best to get you something close if the ones you want are... (Read More)

This Weekend's Postcards

January 22nd - via: kickstarter.com
I finished up another 15 postcards today:    As always, if you'd like me to set aside a particular postcard for you, just comment with the number. If you'd like to see all 30 I've made so far, the photo is on the Kickstarter page. As of today, this... (Read More)

Postcards #010 - #015

January 20th - via: kickstarter.com
Here's the next group of postcards. They're a little less sweet than the last bunch.  As with the previous bunch, just leave a comment with the number(s) of any postcard(s) you'd like to claim. Be afraid of the postcards I have in the works today.... (Read More)

Postcards #001 - #009

January 19th - via: kickstarter.com
I've been making postcards this week. Here are the first nine:  They're all signed and numbered on the back side, so I can keep them straight. I think this first group is mostly sweet designs. Since I just finished watching How to Sell a Banksy on... (Read More)

Protected or Postally Used?

January 19th - via: kickstarter.com
12 days to go. Over 1100% funded. 35 postcards claimed. I have a quick question for you today: Would you prefer to receive your postcards in clear cello envelopes, or postally used and unprotected? Mail art postcards are traditionally sent through... (Read More)

A Quick Update

January 16th - via: kickstarter.com
Two weeks to go. 30 postcards claimed. I'm thinking that unless Kickstarter makes this a featured project, or tweets it, we probably won't get to 100, but that's OK with me.  The bails, chains and glass tiles for postcard pendants arrived:  They're... (Read More)

A Handful of Hearts

January 12th - via: kickstarter.com
I spent part of today cutting out enough hearts for 40 postcards.   It looks like the postcard blanks will be here in tomorrow's mail, so I can do some backgrounds over the weekend. Meanwhile, we're over 800% funded, with 25 postcards spoken for,... (Read More)

A Little Update

January 11th - via: kickstarter.com
 20 days to go, and just short of 700% funded. Thanks to those of you who have pledged since my last update! 20 postcards spoken for. 80 still available. When you have a moment, please help spread the word by posting a link to this project wherever... (Read More)

Well, OK Then

January 8th - via: kickstarter.com
I think we're about two hours in, and the goal amount of this project has been met. Thanks to you early birds who pledged to make that happen. OK, so the goal amount was only $50 this time. I intentionally set it low, because even if only a handful... (Read More)
