They're done and will go priority mail tomorrow.

Besame*, my projects went in the mail to you this morning with an expected delivery date of Monday.

Arrived today 07-09-2016, thanks so much :)

Hi All,

My package will going out Monday for delivery on Wednesday the 13th. The pieces really needed more time to cure (it's been humid in these parts) so I felt it was better to hang onto them awhile longer and let them air out some more. But, they will be there.

Bèsame*,

FedEx tracking says my package is on the truck for delivery, and you will receive it by 8:00 p.m. today.

Thanks so much for co-wrangling!

A New Sticky Thread for Visual Arts?
 

Let me apologize in advance if it looks like I'm hijacking the thread. This the most appropriate and active discussion I can stick this in. Also, BFP does not let you start threads until you have at least 30 posts under your belt.

This is a painting I did after an intro to acrylics class. I'm a doodler mostly; drawing on scrap paper during breaks. More dilettante-hobbyist than serious artist. This was my first real attempt at a "proper" piece of art.

I haven't done much painting since then. Lately I've been getting that creative itch but I'm not doing much to scratch it. Perhaps I need a little inspiration from the BFP community?

It would be wonderful if the forum had a sticky thread dedicated to users posting their creations. Whether it be a scribble on a post-it note or some epic brush stroke-for-brush stroke reproduction of a work by one of the old masters... or even an adorable bento box lunch. I would certainly be much better to post them in the forum than in the limited space of the BFP gallery.

I would love to see your art!

Oops, after some more browsing I found out there was a relevant thread, several in fact, under the ART topic. :seeingstars:

There is also a section in the picture gallery to post pictures of everyone's final product. Tommi started it I think after I bugged everyone to post pictures.

It really only happened once or twice but I would still love to see the final products.

I am not arty or crafty so I don't participate but it would be nice to see the artwork anyway.

Viewing art is another way to participate (hint, hint).

What are ATC's and Post Secrets?

I am thinking about wrangling a postsecret with the theme butch-femme. For those who do not know, postsecret involves making a postcard or decorating / altering an already made postcard to tell a secret. Examples are available on http://www.postsecret.com . Anyway, the theme would be any secret related to being butch or femme or in our community, whatever. It could be however you interpret the theme but some ideas would be ways you feel like you don't fit into the labels or what it means to you to be butch / femme or how you knew you were butch / femme or a butch-femme sex secret, whatevs. Postsecrets don't always need to be secrets, per se, but can also be ideas you are keeping in your head. The only rule is that they would be postcards (one or more -your choice- for each person who signs up, with no limit on how many sign up). This is a project where you can really artsify it up or keep it simple depending on your own wishes. You can also attach your name to your projects or keep it anonymous. They'd be due to me by the end of August. Please put a like / thanks on this post if you'd be interested in participating and if I get enough "thanks" I'll start a sign up.

Okay, there's already enough "thanks" that I'm going to start a sign up because I am already excited :)

Sign up ends at the end of July. Package due to me along with 5 bucks for shipping by end of August.

Postsecret with butch femme theme (or trans, whatever works for you and your identity or identities)

Size of postcard: not an issue, reasonable

Who: You can attach your name (if you do, either on back of card, or use ziploc bags or whatever) or be anonymous

How many: 1 or more for each participant (your choice of how many you make for each person)

I meant the rules about being late, dropping out of the project, wrangler responsibility, etc. The one that's supposed to be on the bottom of every project. Again, I can't cut and paste because my internet is limited to my phone right now still.

Oh man, I totally forgot! Thanks, will add this afternoon!
