Handmade Cards?

[novapsyche.livejournal.com]

I'm in the middle of an artistic writer's block. (I have actual writer's block, but also just a block in creativity in general.)

I wrote in my personal journal that, just like collage--which is recognized as its own type of art--that I could rejuvenate my interest in homemade cards. It's a hobby I was pretty heavy into a few years ago, but because of Real Life(tm), I've been unable to devote any real time to it.

Well, now I've been unemployed for over half a year, and I still haven't made any cards. Lately, I've had the itch. I have everything I need, except motivation.

So I ask you, my friends and acquaintances, for motivation. If you want me to design and send you a card (in snail mail, no less!), send me an email saying so. My address is listed in my userinfo (as well as other responses here and there on my main journal).

I'm limited by postage (did you hear that stamps are going to start costing 37 frickin' cents!?), so if you definitely want a reply, send a letter with a stamp in it, so I can use it.

This is sort of a light correspondence-"club" thing, but really it's just to spark my creative juices again. I know I have the talent and right attitude; I'm just afflicted by amotivation.

Thanks!

a side note for the glass bead magnet coalition

[zindii.livejournal.com]

at the discovery store at the mall they had sets of these selling for $10 for 10

and truthfully, they were lame. the pictures were all the same within the set, and they were grainy and poor (supposed to look like old magazine pictures, but weren't all that attractive).

also, the magnets they used were the thin 'strip' type (verses the heavier duty round type) and i can't imagine that magnets that thin would be able to really hold something on.

cheap and icky!

i have seen much cooler ones posted here and have had extrordinary luck making a set from photographs of a gathering of friends from last summer which i plan to auction off to the same group next summer.
