In #CLMOOC we have a postcard project that is ongoing. Kevin Hodgson diverged from the normal physical item that is sent and I received a digital postcard in my e-postbox. He wrote:
What might get lostdo you thinkwhen we move awayfrom ink and towardsdigital and design?
When I received the digital postcard I still wanted to feel the paper. Make it tactile. I printed it in black and white, yet it seemed empty. I added colour and folded a cone with torn edges for a holder for my seed pod collection. In the making, I was remaking, in deconstructing I was constructing, respecting the poem and making a space to hold the seed pods which echo the sentiments on the front of the postcard. In the giving there is gaining, nothing lost.
I love this so much, how the digital became paper became holder of seed pods shared back out again.

As always our connections are cause for pauses and pondering: is digital 'ink ' any different to real ink?
