Introducing the Penny Experiment

I'd like to take a minute to give you some information about an exciting project I've just signed up for - the Penny Experiment.  You can read all about the project and the inspiration for it on the Penny Experiment blog, but the general idea is 100 artists each create a postcard that will be sold to purchase food for food banks across the US.  The purchasing will be done by a number of people who are so good with coupons they can make a dollar stretch for days, which will increase the value exponentially.  And it all started when Jeffrey Strain picked up a penny from the sidewalk (to the amusement of a group of nearby teens).  When I read the story I just knew I had to take part.

So what can you do?  There are still 35 openings (as of December 12) for artists who wish to donate a postcard.  And of course when the postcards come up for sale I will post a link to the sale if you wish to purchase one.    

Each postcard will feature a number from 1 - 100.  I chose # 46 (my age, if you must know).  I hope you like it, and hope that someone will buy it when the sale starts!

I loved it so much that I visited the Penny Experiment blog and (hopefully) signed up. I have no idea which numbers are left, but I'd be happy with any of them. What a worthy cause and nice sales job!!
