Feeling postcards

When I was working on the 99-feeling project, I often got asked if I would print any of the pictures onto postcards. I love snail mail and I do think that feeling postcards would be a fun card to send someone. As I won't be able to invest in all 99 feelings at once, I have decided to start off with 6 cards. It was hard to choose which ones though but I think with these 6, one can cover a lot of occasions... What do you think? Is there any missing that you think: 'I would want to send that particular feeling?' :)
I can still change my mind as I only just now sent out some price inquieries for printing. :) Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
Can't tell yet when they will be available but if you subscribe to my newsletter or blog, you'll find out first! :)

    super idee ! I denk dat ik de feeling met de stropdas ook erg geschikt vind.

    Ik zou achteraan ook eventueel een tekstje uitleg geven over de 99 feelings.

    Oh yes Martice & Petronella, I do think that the one with the tie and tear should be part of it. I think I'll leave the free and mean one out then...
    Fleur, I add a link to my website 'cause it's too much information to put on there I'm afraid. People should still be able to write something, right? :)
    Thanks haptree! :)

    Art, maybe in a few lines that they are part of a bigger collection, you are addding also the feeling on the card aren't you?

    it would be good to have a little text as a kind of teaser, so that people are tempted to go to the website...
    well,my humble opinion...:-)

    A smart idea to add the tear I think! But I like them all so much I don't know how I'd ever narrow it down to just 6! (luckily that task falls to you!)

    Good idea though Mitsy :)

    Fleur, I'll add on the left corner for example 'Feeling special?' and then in the vertical middle of the card I'll write '99 feelings by ArtMind'
    On the bottom it will say ' C 2009 www.ArtMind.eu
    Do you think that will make people more curious?

    Mitsy, it's a lovely idea! I agree with Fleur, a little text wouldn't hurt :) But you are planning to do that, so... :))

    To choose would be impossible for me, thay are so appropriate for so many occasions. A great idea it is and I am glad I am not the one choosing :-D

    Great idea! I would photoshop the pictures a bit as they are a bit greyish, to make them fresher!

    Very nice Mitsy! And great that you'll be adding a little text on them, it really makes them individual objects instead of promo tool only, I think. People will be happy to send and receive these, I'm sure. Good job!
