Somewhere along the mail art trail I crossed paths with Linda Gibbons and we've been very informally swapping postcards back and forth for a while now. These are two recent ones from her. Thanks, Linda and I'm sure I owe you one now so it'll be going out this week!

| The three images are packing tape transfers over a painted background. I love transfers cause the transparency of them allows the background to lend its own color and texture to the transferred image. I really like the minimalist black of the drawings made all the more insubstantial by being transfers. |

What fun postcards these are. Would love to see a post on how to make these. Have you done one. Lots of fun to exchange these
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them, Leslie. I am enamoured with packing tape, both magazine transfers and using it on the gelli plate to create top layers that are both painted and transparent. I can't stop!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards!
ReplyDeleteI swap with Linda sometimes too and always enjoy her creativity. I think I owe her one as well. These are great and I've never tried a tape transfer....maybe it's time....
