One of my mail art buds, Beth, is doing the sketchbook challenge to the theme of 'postage stamp head people'. (just go look at her blog) She asked if I'd like to contribute a page and I jumped at the chance. I haven't done the challenge ever, for a number of reasons, but was thrilled at the chance to be in someone's book. I spent 30 minutes sifting thru my box of postage stamps (thanks, Rhonda) and found a bunch of heads. Then I paged thru a Vogue, trying hard not to get distracted by the articles, until I found a few bodies that would work, size-wise and with the stamps I had.
Fussy cut the bodies, glued the heads on, glued them to the gelli print background and embellished a little. Wa-la.
They crack me up.
What a crew. Thanks Leslie. Life will never be the same. You'll be checking out the bodies to see what make a good "head" match. LOL

ReplyDeleteHappy holidays.

ReplyDeleteI like to work on 2-3 stories at a time. Simply because for me each story represents a certain issue Im addressing or a particular emotion Im feeling. By having several different stories to work on, you have several different outlets and you in no way really feel pressured.
