Mailed to Truman Bentley Jr.
Yesterday was the first day of Mailart 365, and while others have been bursting with excitement, I was feeling utterly fatigued. I started a daily mail art project 7 months ago, and I never thought it would take up so much of my time and energy. Don't get me wrong - I'm so happy that I started it, and I have no intentions of stopping. But at the same time, I can feel my energy and some of my enthusiasm flagging. So I'm happy that I have joined this project, and by extension, joined a community of people who are going through the same experience.
As for the image itself, I have been experimenting with how little you can show of a person's face and still get through a feeling of personality.
Mailed from Montreal, Quebec.

We'll all probably be feeling that fatigue in 7 months time. It's really useful to know in advance though and it doesn't look like it's dimmed your creativity at all Keira

Sorted it! For some reason you had some code in your post that turned the whole thing White. I just deleted this for you

Yeah I reckon that may have something to do with it too Keira!
I'll take a look into the background thing as soon as I get to my desk. I did notice it before but thought it was your idea!

Aw, thanks Andy.
I think some of the fatigue also comes from moving to a new country, setting up house, and starting a new job. (which strangely coincided with the start of mailart 354.)
As a sidenote - do you know why my post is on a lighter background? I can't figure out how to fix it.
