Dear writer from the other side of the ocean or from the street corner,

the card you're going to write will land in… a ladybird mouth !
yes we have a strange mail box ;-)

I like to be surprised, in life in general, and in my mail box for sure !

If you find a postcard you never saw before, if it's round, if it's not in paper, if it's shinning in the dark, if it's a game, if there's sthg strange about it or if it shows something unexpected from your country, you can be sure this card would be a nice surprise for me :-)
I like mutiviews especially if I need a magnifying glass to see the pictures (with a lot of pictures it's great : the more they are, the best it is !)

I like kite flying, poetry (haikus), star gazing (I know a part of the constellations in the north hemisphere and I dream about seeing the one from the south hemisphere one day), I like shells, and can spend hours on the shore to look for them. I like finding a landscape in a stone, a shape in the clouds or in the lines of wood.

I appreciate nice lettering, and everything about typography. I'm a graphic designer, interested in colored pictures, unexpected combinations, delicate drawings and well designed things.
If you post from a non latin country I will enjoy to discover your alphabet.

The picture is only one side of the card, each card counts and is welcome, and remember that the written side matters ;-)
For example, you can tell me why you chose this card, share your favorite recipe or a poem, write something about you or something not well known about your country or your life (if you have an uncommon job...) you'd like to make me discover. And if you don't know what to write, you can draw me what the weather looks like or anything you like to draw ;-)

I'm looking forward to seeing how the ladybird is going to be fed.
Do it as you like, as long as it's done with heart :-)
Thank you !

a few words after my first 30 postcards and 3 months in participating in postcrossing

what I like with postcrossing is above all that this project allows people to connect.
I participate with my heart which means :
-> I'm very disapointed if i receive a non written postcard or a printed text saying the writter is too busy to write because (s)he sends a lot of postcards per day...
-> in case I have to send a postcard to someone very demanding, it totally kills my will to share something.
