POSTCARDS FOR SALE
The Rural Studio Bonus Album by Cynthia Connolly. Cynthia went off for the 2002/03 year and was an outreach student at the Rural Studio. She designed and built a vegetable stand. The stand is not included in the bonus album, but ten other sites of the Rural Studio, including the Butterfly House, the Glass Chapel and newer sites like The Antioch Church. Stapled together, The Bonus Album has a postcard with a small version of the postcard on the side that is perferated. The user rips off the postcard and keeps the mini version on the bound side as the souvenir. As more of a bonus, the postcard and the little card each have directions to the sites, and the postcard has more information including the designers names and dates of construction. Photos are taken with the "half frame camera" so there are two images per card. This set has an ISBN of 0-9620944-1-2 and the cover price is $8.50. The cards are $10. postpaid in the US from Cynthia Connolly. ($12 outside the US)
