Did anyone get the cards?
Even if you thought it was hideous let me know
Yours was the digital cyanotype, I think? I received it, and thought it was interesting, not at all hideous. Curious: by "digital", do you mean the toning was done digitally, or it was a cyanotype made from a digital negative?

Thanks Robert,
On your month you should have received a cyanotype made from a digital negative; I guess you can call it a hybrid process. To make it more fun, I made a different cyanotype per each person, with motives that each may find interesting.
For this month (my month) I sent a real postcard

My July card to Scott went out early this week (Monday 6th July, I think).
I've received none in the past few months. (The last one I received may have been in February!)

Ah, good, I thought that's what was going on. A good choice for me!

Aha! Today, Monday 13/7/20, I received Pablo's Galapagos postcard (with a half-moon in the sky above
). Yay!
It was postmarked 19/6, so it took just over three weeks.

Good!
It is an "OPUNTIA ECHIOS" a type or prickly pear endemic to the Galapagos, which also acts like a sponge soaking up water
Many animals (and the humans when it was a prison) use the Opuntia as a water source
