  1. This morning's gelli plate #printing experiment: two-part prints using a fern frond as a subject. I printed these on postcards. I'll probably polish them off with some beeswax paste I made to protect the color and use them for #postcrossing cards send to folks who like to receive artwork. Not great, but not bad for a first try. The challenge is alignment for the second part of the print. #art #MakeStuff

  6. Yay! I received two postcards today — one from Russia, and one from Taiwan. 🇷🇺🇹🇼🥳

    — Russian card image: Church of the Resurrection of Lazarus, Murom Monastery, 14th century.
    — Taiwanese card translated text: “Once people fight for profit, greed spreads like poison in their blood.”

  11. Well, here’s a fun usecase for AI. @kagihq makes a bunch of AI models available via their assistant. One being Google’s Gemma 4 31B (dumb name, bruh.) Hoping/assuming Google would allow its own model access to maps data…

    ANYWAY. There’s a directory wiki of places you can buy postcards on the @postcrossing forum. So I copied a list of LA-area spots, dumped it into Kagi Assistant and asked which are open until 7 or later. And got a nice majorly abridged list. This is a time saver. Though, I’ll need to confirm…

  16. @user47 @postcrossing I enjoy being able to match up cards in my inventory with what a #postcrossing user likes to receive. I sent the VLA card to someone who likes things related to space and NASA; because she was in the US, I was able to use a moon landing stamp on it. I think that's a double win.

    But I have been disappointed by some of the cards I get, especially those covered with stickers. There was one I found kind of insulting, but that could be just because I hate motivational bullshit.

  21. I just spent 20 minutes preparing three #postcards for #Postcrossing. I like to do them in batches of at least three. I've been getting a pretty steady flow of incoming postcards from all over the world and I really like that. I hang them on my fridge for a while and then put them away. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with them, but it's neat to get them.😊

    Images show my current wall and the three cards I'm sending out tomorrow.

  26. This morning @jillianmarisa are registering @postcrossing mail from the week. We got a beautiful one from north of Berlin and the fellow says in their city they are known for locomotives. Presently the nearby factory is manufacturing trains for Poland.

    Trains from Germany to Poland. 😵‍💫 Not nefarious obviously. Just conjures memories. And makes me sad for how my own country is going.

  31. En postkasse i Tyskland var glad I dag! Et af mine postkort ankom efter at have rejst 3259 KM på 14 dage fra Grønland.

    A letterbox in Germany was happy today! A postcard of mine arrived after travelling 3,259 KM from Greenland in 14 days.

  41. As promised, my newly arrived #postcard. It's #cheese.

    Cheese, Gromit!

    The sender decorated it with cool stamps and washi tape covering some of the interests on my profile, jigsaws and rollercoasters and crafts etc, and her message was lovely too.

    Is it weird to think you and your #Postcrossing match would be friends irl? Cos we have cheese and knitting in common and tbh what more does a beautiful friendship need? 😅

    I appreciate all the cards I've had so far, but it does feel extra special when someone matches the card to you so personally. Pride of place on the pegboard, here we come!

  46. #Postcrossing is now allowing me to send 6 #postcards at a time. Here are the 6 that are going out today.

    I now buy postcards whenever I see them for sale. I have quite a little inventory, so I can often match a card in my collection with something that a postcard collector prefers. The one in the envelope contains the front half of a note card illustrating the VLA in New Mexico; the recipient wanted space related postcards and specifically said they could be put in an envelope. Perfect match!
