spirograph offer

After living apart for five years, I've been reunited with my super-spirograph set! What a throw-back to childhood. Hours spent spiro-doodling. It's so satisfying even now. Actually, sometimes it's frustrating because your pen doesn't work well or your hand slips and you ruin the creation - but when it's good, it's so good. You remember right?

Here's the deal:

If you send me a real, snail-mail postcard*, I'll send you some kind of spiro-creation back in the mail. Let's do it. Let's be "mail friends" (in the old days I think they called them "pen pals"). Com'on, give me an excuse to use this thing!

(*If you're interested, contact me through the comments and we'll do the address thing... unless you already have my address, then just surprise me with a postcard!)

By the way, this set isn't my childhood set. I got it some years ago at a thrift store. Below is a sheet of spiros that was left in the set from the original owner. "Judy" appears to have been a master of the craft, a a real pro...

Here are some things I made while mindlessly watching/listening to the olympics. Clearly I'm an amateur compared to Judy. Her lines are so fine, her pen never bleeds, she had a gentle touch. I'm a "digger" (it's true, in everything I do I'm hard on the equipment...)
