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

Do not write . . .

Did you think I'd forgotten this project? Nope, it's still viable. There's a Danish saying, "never talk away the magic." I think that's what I did. I began discussing the project before it had solidified in my brain and the magic went away for a long time. No one understood (with a few exceptions) what I was doing, so I knew it wasn't clear in my OWN mind. But it will be there, patiently waiting for me to come back around, smarter this time. ©Carol Leigh
