For Valentine’s Day my sister Martha gave me a box of 100 Pantone® color postcards. They seemed to cry out for some kind of special activity. Sooo, on Facebook, I asked for volunteers to receive these postcards, randomly selected, stamped and addressed to me. The 99 other makers will then consider the color they have been given and do something to the postcard in response to that color and put it back in the mail to me. The only restriction is that the postcard be able to pass through the US Postal Service.

Eventually there will be an exhibit at CSPS, Legion Arts, in Cedar Rapids, IA USA. Check the POSTCARDS page through the links to see the postcards as they come in. I will also post the images and names on the Pantone Postcard Project page on Facebook page.

The postcards are due April 22, 2013.
