[Request] Postcard Art Project - Random Acts of Cards [China]

Hello, people of the world!! ^^ My name is 2park! I am a China-born Korean - Australian artist, currently living in Paris!

I am working on a project that is very similar to the idea of this particular community! Randome Acts of Kindness! ----- To write postcards to strangers!

It's a relational art, the artwork that directly related to the people and audience! It's my third round of sending out postcards. Last week I've started in front of the Notre Dame and now I also want to make it to online as well!

Bascailly I've collected people's address and their stories online (mostly in China) and asked other people (friends and strangers) to write a response postcard to one of them listed receivers!

If you are interested in please DM me! If possible, I'd love to make this a long-term project as well :)

You can also DM me on insta ; 2park.postcard

Thank you very much!

Warmly Regards,

2park

p.s. Am I allowed to ask fundraise here?

[Offer] Difficult Mother’s Day? Let me send you encouragement [US]

Mother’s Day is a wonderful day and I’m sure there will be lots of amazing offers to enjoy for those wishing to celebrate. But it can also be a really difficult day for some of us.

Whether you’ve experienced infertility, loss of a mother figure, or longing for relationships to be different than what they are… there may be many reasons why Mother’s Day isn’t so fun for you.

This offer is for those that feel like allowing me to send you some words of encouragement and empathy.

Personally, I know that I would appreciate some gentle kindness on Mother’s Day due to my own experience.

No need to share specifics but please comment below if you’ve submitted so I can judge how many cards I will be putting together.

This offer is open to anyone who needs it and I will do my best to send to all who submit this form

[Thank You] u/melhen16 and u/jaimekj

Thank you u/melhen16 for the pretty Thank You card and stickers. I must admit - thanking you for a thank you card seems rather redundant 😊 Thank you u/jaimekj for the happy Hello Sunshine card. We have been busy outside in the garden, enjoying the sun
