More wanderers return

A year since this project began, so far 8 Friends & Faux postcards have made it home (the rest are still travelling – no casualties that I’m aware of, so far!).  I’m so happy with the progress of this project and the fascinating artwork that has appeared as a result.  This month – as seems [...]

Friends & Faux – more wanderers return!

My apologies for both the brevity and tardiness of this post.  The first 2 of these postcards returned home in early January and despite best intentions (mostly due to the sudden preparations for moving house) failed to give them the fanfare they deserved upon arrival.  They arrived within a day of each other which I [...]

Friends & Faux – the first wanderers return!

Friends & Faux – beginnings

As the Going Postal project draws to a close (end August), the Friends and Faux project is still barely in its infancy!  For this project, I am sending out postcards, stamped by the Local Post of Tangledom, and asking recipients to add their own faux postage stamp to the cad – then pass it on. [...]
