fauxposte: Timmy Boy

The Faux Poste Project

THE FAUX POSTE PROJECT
Frankly, I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but I think I'm onto something. I'm creating fictional postcards, sometimes the story is on the card, sometimes the story is about the card. Most of the elements on the cards are things I've photographed or have created myself. Occasionally I'll use copyright-free elements, but for the most part, they're all my own stuff. I'm including the "back story" for those of you who are interested in the overall process. It's fun for me, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories.

If you have any thoughts regarding what I can do with this idea (maybe a book?), please let me know. Truly, I'm kind of floundering. In the meantime, I continue making the cards, writing the stories, and having fun. — Carol Leigh

Timmy Boy

"Timmy Boy" is the name of a fishing boat here on the Oregon coast. The duck stamp was made from a picture I took of a mural in Salem. The poppy stamp is one of my own poppy photos. "JC" is, well, you know who you are. The white triangular things are from a wall in San Diego. "McGinnis" is the name of an old friend of mine. ©Carol Leigh
