These ATCs were mailed out to Raleigh, North Carolina today.
Are you asking what an ATC is? Here is the explanation.
They are miniature works of art about the same size as a baseball card. Originating in Switzerland, the ATC movement was a spin-off from the mail art scene. Produced in a variety of media, the cards are traded or exchanged.
The small group orchestrating this swap picks a monthly theme. April's theme was rain. I browsed through my rainy day photographs and paired them with a Bob Marley quote -
The top two photographs are from New York City this past March, the one below is from San Miguel de Allende in February 2012.
While the quote is generally attributed to Bob Marley, research indicates the words may originate in a Turkish poem entitled I Am Afraid by Qyzzirah Syeikh Ariffin.
As often is the case, once you start looking at the background story, it gets more complicated.
Ah well.
