Over the last couple of months, we've been really slow in updating the World Art Gallery, or "WAG", the exhibit space that is spun-off our "Snail Mail World Postcard Art Show".
We've been receiving entries in gradually, however we're lacking volunteers to scan them in and get them online. Then, once we got them online, the display space was lacking until recently.
The cases were built with about eight lines of fishing line attached to either side of the case. Then on the lines, we have little centimetre tall clothespins, holding the postcard-sized pieces up. Only thing, it was amazing how much of a bend this high-grade fishing line had to it, and everything just always looked slightly droopy.
So we finally had a chance to do slight refurbishments to the cases, getting rid of the fishing line, replacing it with silver wire. It's a long drawn-out process, it's taken two days already, but it certainly works a lot better.
We'll be taking pictures of the cases in a little bit, and hopefully be getting a volunteer to go through the newer entries, and upload them to the WAG site, so that we can get those entries to the cases.
For those unfamiliar with our World Art Gallery, people from about 20 countries have participated, sending in postcard-sized artwork, or reproductions of artwork. Entries must be 4 inches by 6 inches, no bigger, no smaller. The entries stay online permanently, and in the display cases semi-permanently, until we run out of room, and have to start replacing.
