The Traveling Exhibit of Letterboxing Patches
| Gather
'round, friends. These patches have a tale to tell... What we are now calling the Traveling Exhibit of Letterboxing Patches was initially intended to be a small display for the "We Live and Breathe Letterboxing" event in 2008. It has since grown to be much more than anticipated. Attendees at that event referred to it as the "wall of patches" due to its impressive size, but closer inspection reveals that the collection isn't just large. It has literally become an illustrated history of letterboxing! |
Our realization of the display's significance caused us to reconsider its future. It seems unforgiveable to present such an exhibit for a single event and then throw it into a closet. In our opinion, this collection now belongs to the letterboxing community and we are merely its caretakers. So, we've commissioned a portable display for the "wall of patches" and are making plans to take it to various gatherings around the country. (Yes, the exhibit will be at LB Con 2009!) Meanwhile, the collection continues to grow. It is now almost twice the size it was when it appeared at Live and Breathe!
