Bad News + A Fun Update

The bad news is that I got really sick this week and had to cancel my trip to Euzine. I'm really bummed, because I was looking forward to seeing people, picking up new zines, and experiencing Euzine for the first time. But I think I made the right decision for my health, so that's positive I guess. 

In happier news, I've been wanting to share these postcards that I made for last month's Correspondence Club swap. One of my favorite parts of Correspondence Club is that every month, there's a different themed swap. Whoever wants to participate writes their name and address on a list, then we each send a piece of mail art to everyone on the list. Last month, the theme was Encrypted. I thought about those puzzles with letters representing other letters, cut up January - September in my calendar to get the little pictures, and then made a code. Like most projects, it was a lot more work than I expected, but I was pretty happy with the results! Here are a few of the postcards I sent - want to see if you can break the encryption?

I tried to pick images that would be easy to recognize and name.

My calendar duplicated a couple of images, so two recipients got red dresses.

Each postcard had a couple of my favorite image.

Hopefully, I gave enough letters on the front of the postcard that people could solve the message on the back!

    I like cats, feminism, queers, making things and writing, apparently.
