From the first page: "Warning: During the process of this book you will get dirty. You may find yourself covered in paint, or any other number of foreign substances. You will get wet. You may be asked to do things you question. You may grieve for the perfect state that you found the book in. You may begin to see creative destruction everywhere. You may begin to live more recklessly."

Scared?? I am... but ready to loosen up and enjoy this journey.

Postcard Swap

I have been trying out different group swaps. At this moment I am waiting on a handmade paper swap, a recipe book swap and working on a postcard swap due next week. The theme for the postcards is open but the colors must be silver and blue. I have done 4 of them and working on the last one that I will post soon. Here are the completed four.

I have done these postcards using pages from an old mailing stamp catalog that I bought at the Good Will. There are christmas stamps used in 1964. I painted the pages with glaze mixed with silver metallic acrylic paint; it is a little hard to see on the picture but it gives a nice shimmer to the pages. Then, I stamped the pages resembling a postcard and mounted on a silver postcard. I used the heat gun to give the postcard an aged look. These postcards will be on their way next week.
