I made a 2 page tribute to all the bloggers who sent in cards... I needed another few pages for this purpose actually... but you can imagine space was limited. And I must mention there were quite a few other bloggers who were simply wonderful and went to the trouble of spreading the word about this mail-art show on their blogs... I put a little tribute to all bloggers in the acknowledgements page.

Well... I did try to fit them all in... in the book they are a LOT easier to see... and I have suggested to readers they come and read all about who sent cards from where at this blog!

Imagine if you asked everyone you knew...!

I'll add more pages here or there. Been at the studio all day and half the night... I was stuffed so came home and have had a lovely time popping in and visiting bloggers here and there. I'm inspired and decided week after next I want to try and post an image from everyone's blog that I frequent...so if I come knocking...!

Just spotted your blog and love the color and pattern of your work. Very beautiful.
I'm thrilled to see my postcard there, you have such a wonderful variety. I love the cover and the 'seed lab math' is fabulous, circles are my favourite shape and this piece has such a beautiful composition as well as colour and design.
Thanks Lisa...

Hi Ro!
Lovely to hear from you! Im looking forward to the wonderful cards getting more exposure ...much deserved... how lovely that people got involved in homage and now it will live on !
Im glad you liked the cover... working out all those things is quite a process. Circles are incredibly pleasing ...I agree... its funny ...do you find when you get immersed in a shape you just get drawn in more and more?
ciao,

ahhhhhhhh! i LOVE the cover! you chose well Soph although i think you made the point nicely. if you'd asked everyone you know each would find something REALLY lovely amongst your paintings that they would strongly feel worthy of the cover. hey that's good news!
and thx for the little visual shoutout (she said as demurely and with as much modesty as she could muster.)
when you're sorted, and recharged, i've tagged you to list 15 of your most meaningful authors. i only managed 14 but i'm sure next week i'll remember who i left out! xo
Hi Sophie,
Thanks so much for letting me know about this and for including my postcard (and envelope! :)
Your cover image choice is wonderful - I love the tactile quality of your paintings and would really like to experience some of them 'in the flesh' one day.
You're no doubt super-busy with preparations for your exhibition this weekend - good luck with it all, and enjoy!
Best,
Suzanne
How lovely to come home to read a message from you MP .... after the total exhaustion of everything and a surprising pleasant night (openings can be funny!) ... totally wrecked and ready for tropical island and swimming all day... better move some of those paintings... then... maybe tropical island...etc!
Sweet ... glad you approve cover ... what a pleasure championing the bloggers to all through the book! Delighted to showcase your wonderful photo... it does make people really look at all the seeds!
I love the idea of doing 15 authors...what a darling thing to get asked to do!

Hi Suzanne,
so delighted to have this chance ... the postcards brought much delight... so the energy lives on!
Thank you for lovely comments... tactile... yes... the raw thing is something I wish to bring to the work... seeds are earth... soil and nature and its raw ... so the paintings have that quality where possible.
Crazy busy few days...but a little exchange here is very relaxing... thanks for all your good wishes Suzanne!
LOVED your cards!
Sophie
