[BKARTS] Lovely to hear of the excellent progress of the cArtalog project --well done !!

[Aine Scannell <aine@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Kristin


It was lovely to receive your email about cArtalog

 As you may remember you very kindly sent me some library index cards about
a month ago ( or perhaps a bit more than that).
 
In the midst of moving house( we are moving up to Edinburgh in Scotland), my
partner becoming redundant from his architectural practice and then a death
in the immediate family - the project of i.e., working on the cards
artistically got way laid to the side.

The works that are so far online look very good indeed and people have
responded in such a variety of ways.

Is it too late now, to work on the cards and send them to the project?

Best wishes

Aine
