I sent it on. I'm still waiting for my third one. I made a print and sent it on a couple of weeks ago. Haven't you had anything yet? who's mean't to be sending you something?It's very exciting to get a print through the post and i enjoyed working on the envelope almost as much as working on the prints themselves.Hope you get something soon....

I decided to scan and photocopy and tried to create variations on the image, i have included all of these variations in my letter to jan.The second image was easier to work with in some ways but i've kept it for a while to think about it. also i thought jan would like a bit of time between images. i have found that the best way to tackle this project is to set to work immediately on the postcard as soon as it comes, so that i can actually strike while the iron is hot.I know some people are still waiting for an image to come through. Nichola still hasn't got one. I'm on my fourth!!!...
