Earlier today I sent out an email to many of my artist friends outside of CSULB.  I did this with the intention to collect postcards so that we may do something with them soon.  One friend replied with an interesting proposition.  Apparently, she too is in a painting seminar class that needs to be in a collaboration this semester.  Her name is Linda and she is a ceramic major at Colorado State University at Boulder.  Doesn't it sound like a great group to invite into our glob?  Or to perhaps develop a collaboration with.  Anyway, below you will see what I sent and what her reply was.  I thought I would put it out there for you all to consider as well.  

__________message from Linda at Colorado State University @Boulder (grad student in ceramic sculpture)

Hey Claudia,

Yes, this is perfect, we have to participate in a collaboration for our painting seminar!  So, I think I can get three of us grads to send y'all some work.  A few questions:

1.  so, are we making postcards?  2-d only?  or can it be 3-d?

2.  what happens after we send the work?

3.  what is the collaborative aspect?

4.  if we request work, what do we do with it?

ok, we are in!  Linda

original message sent:

Hey,

I am working on a collaboration with my studio mates at CSULB.  We are looking to interact with other artists in an attempt to break out of our circle of influence.  Do you have a small piece you could contribute to this collaboration?  The only parameter is the size, it must be a postcard size piece that is made by hand, mailed to me within the next two weeks:

for those of you that are on campus, you can also choose to put one or more in my box.  And if you would like to be mailed a postcard in exchange, please include your mailing address and a stamp.

Claudia
