the way things go

The other day a friend of mine, who I had sent a postcard to, had mentioned that she read the note but hadn't noticed that there was anything hand-made on the picture side of the card. The note went straight to recycling. Yesterday, another friend told me that I am always with her at the computer since my postcard is posted right next to it in her office. I have been curious about the question of what happens to these cards after I drop them in the mail. Some might end up as shredded paper, while others will be treasured for a while. A small number won't even make it to its destination since the address was old or the mail carrier got it mixed up in a magazine. Does the destiny of the card change the production? I believe the answer is twofold. On one side, I am trying to make the postcards stand out more so that it can be seen as an artcard. On the other side, I become a little more attached and am at times hesitant to let go. 53/365, Seattle, WA
