These objects for my Postcard Project were inspired by my wondering what would be the most unlikely things to send as postcards through the post - in theory these could be - but I wouldn’t…
So far four of these have been made, each a collaboration with another maker - they are credited in the captions - the materials chosen have a slight reference to the location of the postcard
