Analogue Notes

Analogue Notes is my 2020 community art project.  It’s designed to encourage handwritten correspondence via a handmade work of art.

The General Idea

Draw a picture or create a hand-lettered piece.  I will turn it into a cyanotype postcard, and return it to you with a stamp ready to mail. You add a handwritten note to someone special along with their address and you (or I) can drop it in the mail .

It’s also a collaboration.  Together we will celebrate the long tradition of handwritten  correspondence send through the mail on a piece of art.

How to Participate

To participate, email (ironically) a scanned or photographed line drawing that you make to pam@analoguedragon.com.

The line drawing should be made on white paper (copy paper would work perfect) using a black marker.  Markers will produce smooth, graphic lines which will translate better as a cyanotype print.

Within 10 days, I will print the drawing as a cyanotype and have it ready for pick-up at the my Hillsdale County Farmers Market stall.

The price for each postcard is $3 and includes a postage stamp already adhered to the card.

A Community Exhibition of Analogue Notes

This project will conclude with a fall public exhibition of the Analogue Notes produced between July 1st and August 31st.  The exhibition location will be announced at a later date.

First Week of the Hillsdale County Farmers’ Market!

Join me at the Hillsdale County Farmer’s Market (Hillsdale Courthouse parking lot) for an authentic street portrait experience and for demonstrations of historic photographic printing processes.   I’ll also have handmade salted paper prints, cyanotypes, albumen prints and more available for purchase!
