Stepfordfemme's envelope came in the mail today, and I'm still enjoying the aftershocks of the Postsecret orgasm they gave me. Every postcard and secret was DAMN good! I knew this femme had that extra something when I met her at the Reunion, and this confirms it. Thanks, Stepfordfemme!
*** POSTSECRET project (closed for sign up, due by end of month) 1. Jennifer/nycfembbw (wrangler) 2. ahk 3. Gemme 4. pajama 5. Bleu-RECEIVED 6. Laneydoll 7. Stepfordfemme-RECEIVED 8. Cara 9. laruss 10. Tommi Info: Postcards due end of Feb (Send me a package with all the postcards, and I'll send you one back with postcards from each person participating). If in US send me 5 dollars for shipping. If in Canada send me 10. Please send me your package without any confirmation or need for signature. It's more likely to get lost at the nyc post office while it waits for me to come sign it than it is to just reach me without all that. To determine the number of postsecret postcards to make, subtract one (yourself) and you will know how many cards to make. PM me your address and I will send you mine IF we've never sent each other anything in the mail before (almost all of you I have before). You can make all the same postcard or all different ones. Secrets can be anonymous or you can sign your name, and you can let me decide who gets what or you can specify by writing it on the reverse side of the postcard (e.g. To: ahk From: Bleu -- or just From: Bleu or just To: ahk). All secrets must be kept secret and sacred, because while some go for light or not personal; some use it for catharsis. Postcards do not have to be 4x6, just reasonably sized. If you want to specify a "from" or a "to" (reminder: you can leave blank if you want, and I'll decide and you'll be anonymous), but you used both sides of your postcard for the project then just put it in a ziploc type baggie and stick a label on it or write on the baggie with permanent marker. For examples of postsecret, go to http://www.postsecret.com or http://www.photobucket.com and do a search for "post secret" or "postsecret"

My grandfather introduced me to the joy of the fountain pen - I have collected several over the years - and even enjoy the magazine (just) for that ... something about how the flow of the ink - glides over the paper ... I've toyed with making my own inks now and then ... and making my own quills...something I've yet to perfect ... but I try it now and again.

I like to rescue them from flea markets and thrift stores, get them functional again... I love the Fountain Pen Network for that, lots of "how to"s including an ink making forum. And then I write long boring letters to my family who never write back... lol |

I got into calligraphy as a teenager. Once I was loading ink into a calligraphy pen and I poked the inner side of my thumb and literally gave myself a tattoo that I still have! It's a little dot of black ink on my top inner thumb.

Pens
Hi everyone. I am in the design mode of my postcards. Now to select the paper.
I have some very old fountain pens in a curio cabinet, and the tips that are fun to write with. An open bottle of ink around my house would be a blotted disaster with the furpkidz who like to help every time I write. Here's the link...to some fine handmade pens from a BFP Mmember. www.virginiafwi.com We have someone here on the sight that makes a most wonderful pen. I have several that are just what I wanted, and with the ink that flows just as I like. Hoping to see a display again at this year's Reuinion. Also a pen can be custom made just for you too. Stay tuned for the next project. It could be a blast. Last edited by Tommi; 02-16-2013 at 10:30 AM. |

This part of what you wrote made me smile. I write, and always have, long chatty letters to my brother all the time and he never writes back or mentions them. We see each other in person and have a good relationship but it's just not his style to say thanks or comment or respond. A lot of letter writing is the process itself, or so I'd guess, because I don't stop writing him

I can very much relate. Who I write to has little to do with whether they are also letter writers. It's just who is on my mind and, I think, who I have a history with. Some people are very kind with "thank you"s and that feels just as good to me.

BUMP. How's everyone's projects going? Please take an extra one or two weeks if you need it. For any of those stuck or pressed for time, please don't drop out. It is absolutely fine to write your secrets on simple paper or already made postcards. Keep it as simple as you want or need to.
