The first piece you do whatever you like to it printwise. Then you continue to work on each piece as it arrives before forwarding it on to the next person. The process begins this week and you have no more than 2 weeks to work on your piece. Please keep the same envelope and adapt it as it is sent round.

I got the lovely bird print and have abused it and spilt something on it and added some layers. i hope you kept one like this as it is now very different. I sent it on. I'm still waiting for my third one. I made a print and sent it on a couple of weeks ago. Haven't you had anything yet? who's mean't to be sending you something?

It's very exciting to get a print through the post and i enjoyed working on the envelope almost as much as working on the prints themselves.

Hope you get something soon.

I've got your Robin........he isn't recognisable anymore!  It was such a shock to see him in his current state that I haven't been able to bring myself to work on him..........Watch this space!

I got two prints through yesterday and i've just sent one off to jan.

I found the image so beautiful as it was that it was hard to know what to do with it. I decided to scan and photocopy and tried to create variations on the image, i have included all of these variations in my letter to jan.

The second image was easier to work with in some ways but i've kept it for a while to think about it. also i thought jan would like a bit of time between images. i have found that the best way to tackle this project is to set to work immediately on the postcard as soon as it comes, so that i can actually strike while the iron is hot.

I know some people are still waiting for an image to come through. Nichola still hasn't got one. I'm on my fourth!!!

The Jester is somewhere out there. He set out holding a frame waiting for someone to make something of him. Will he be revealed or concealed for ever?
