My recent residency gave me the opportunity to test out this idea, and at first I thought it had been a colossal failure. People kind enough to come to my reception, were also kind enough to take a present with them as instructed, but weeks and weeks later no photos of presents appeared in my inbox. But then ... pictures started coming in!! Wonderful photos showing where these presents are going and what they are seeing! I am so excited I can barely stand it!
SO.... I've started an auxiliary blog that I hope will continue to grow with new photos! The blog is called Present And Accounted For, I hope you will follow along! The first post is on the new blog now and tells the inspiration behind this idea. The next post will show how the project developed and the photos of the presents and the participants will be posted as they come in!
Also, I have a couple of extra presents if anyone is interested in participating please email me and I will mail you one. Do note, it is a symbolic present, there isn't anything inside, but you can read more about this on Present And Accounted For.
A simple and brilliant idea. What a way to branch out!! This is so exciting! It's as if you are sending little pieces of yourself, your generosity of spirit around the world. A message of sharing, connecting us all, no matter where we are on the globe. I want to be a part of this. May I join in?
ReplyDeleteJust added 'Present and Accounted for' to my blog list. I want to be kept abreast of the traveling presents.
Way to go Queen of Bows!
oh Silvina! Thank you for sharing in my excitement!!! I would LOVE to pop a present straight away in the mail to you. I will email you for your address :) Yea thank you! You've managed to bring tears to my eyes!! :) I PROMISE your slogan for me is seriously an inspiration. I always think to myself.. if I am The Queen of Bows I must work very hard to represent them!! I promise it has helped me push myself in new directions! Thank you!

I really admire your dedication to a meme, and the full exploration of it. Cool. I'm still working on my marks and sigils body of work, and your ideas are part of what inspired the notion to pick something and stick with it for a while. Happy Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteKaren - am I too late? I have a great idea for a present location.
ReplyDeleteThank you Edgar! I guess one day I will run out of things to say or do with the present, but for some unknown reason, I keep finding new ways of thinking about the idea behind the image :) Thank you so much for the super kind compliment!!
