It's official.  I have mailed my first two letters.  I will upload images of all the letters I send weekly to this page.  I have generated a list thus far of about 75 people, and the list, of course, continues to grow.  I am not quite sure as to how in the lords name am I going to acquire all these addresses, when I even loose track of my close friends.  

Though, this just forces me to be a bit more creative (and hope people are able to physically "forward," out of the goodness, of just....?).  I was excited to discover Anthony Doerr writes a bi-monthly column for the Boston Globe- YES-an address.  Publishers, record labels, and universities- let's see what delivers.  

I am quite surprised by the mix of emotions I have already experienced.  Nonetheless, I am focused.  This project is not so much about me, as it is about everyone else.  The recipients.  Mail.  And it's not a baby announcement or an invitation to a wedding of someone you barely know. 

I am working with only found and recycled materials, and each letter is hand stamped and sewn with a blue thread- the signature of the project.
