have not been on in a while -

i got 3 beautiful cards during the week . . .

Sandeha - wonderful double exposure  ;)
Piet - bedankt voor de mooie kaart! love the transfer, something I have yet to try.
Miles - great b+w card, i like your innovation - works well.

thanks so far guys - love the script on the card telling how and where the images were taken.

I have been shooting some colour and b+w over the last 2 weeks so hope to develop the b+w today and probably not going to get the colour done for a week or so.

...so the DIY cards most likely will be b+w and sent out next week.

great idea to wrangle this together - again - thanks becky!

Cool variations on a theme.

Mine are now at the mercy of the mail. I've got a couple of spares thanks to Moo's minimum quantities so if anyone has got a small crack they need to cover let me know ;)

All sent out, ran out of paper and chem... Hopefully they will arrive in good shape. Much harder to do on small postcard size as I needed more precision, as I was cutted up larger sheets of paper, some a bits skewed. Would have been easier and constant if buy already made sized, but what fun will that be? Looks like I was on the UK list... was expecting more from other countries. ;)

And today I got my first postcard. Finding it's way all the way from Canada to Sweden. Thank you Francois, the card is beautiful! And in good shape as well, so the canadian postal service must have been in a good mood.  ;D

Thanks Becky, that's not bad to to to the US of A timewise.

Japanese camera from the 60's that someone took to Cuba, that I bought and loaded with film from Germany, took back to England, developed and printed and then sent out to America.

Sorted !

I can't fault their customer service to be honest - they sent a refund as soon as I asked for it, no messing about. I'll happily use them in the future for, say, business cards (I love their little half-size ones) or stickers. Maybe their machines are having a bad week.

Now there's a coincidence, Miles.  I also received cards from TK and Urban.  Great stuff.

I am not thinking about awarding points on this, but the cyanotype of Christy has huge impact.   ;)

Jackpot day!
Three cards.
Francois' totally rocking, get you in the Olympic groove card.
Diane's very cool pinhole with an uber cool stamp and Urban's nice B&W card with a stamp on the back nearly as big as the card.

Thanks all!
You guys are awesome! :)

got urban card safe but got a torn and rough looking one from diane in one of those plastic sleeves and a sorry note from the postal service. I wonder how they know where to deliver it as the address area is barely readable. Odd but it actually looks good with wear ;D

Over the last fortnight, I've been on the receiving end of a steady stream of bleedin' lovely cards from all over the world. Thanks everyone. I really need to get my act together and send mine out. Well, get it printed first....after working out which one I am going to use....and then finding out who I have to send them to.

Sorry!! I've not exactly been on top of it this time.

It's been a bit manic at work - and not in a good way, unfortunately  >:(

Anyway, the shot is chosen and Moo are in the process of printing them. I got an update saying that they anticipate they should be with me 29/06. Hopefully, I'll have a better experience than Ordinal. First time I've ordered anything from them. Easy enough process but I'll reserve judgement until they arrive.

Off to Manchester for 3 days from tomorrow - so it'll be quiet from me until weekend. I've received some stunning cards so far from Britt, Shaun (Harvey), Becky, Urbanhafner and Francois. I'll be delighted if mine get anywhere remotely near that level of quality....

OK! They're finally starting to pour in!

I got a very lovely laundromat from Urban and some nice Lunarias from Harvey!

All in pristine condition! They probably didn't get to go through the sorting machine that's equipped with the ever famous mail smashing robot  ;D
