The Whisper Project

Inspired by the Whisper Project by SAQA Fergus Pod, our members participated in a Guild Whisper Project incorporating previous work on postcard projects that the guild has done in previous years.

This is based on the childhood game of telephone, in which the message gets slightly changed when whispered to the next person. In this case, the art work changes. 

  • Person A – received a photograph and created a 4″ x 6″ embroidered postcard inspired by that photograph. Person A sent a photo of their artwork only (not the original photograph) to Person B
  • Person B – received a photo of the artwork created by Person A and made a 4″ x 6″ piece inspired by Person A’s piece. Person B sent a photo of their artwork which was created to Person C.
  • The project continues until Person E who creates the final piece. Then all the pieces were sent to/or gathered by the coordinator.

Below are pictures of our Guild’s take on the Whisper Project with the order of completed postcards going clockwise starting at the photograph.
