some new postcards--whom to send them to...?

Collage, gelli printing, drips, stencils, stamping and general silliness.  If any one catches your fancy, please let me know and email me your address at logibbons1951@yahoo.com.

What good are postcards unless they are sent out into the world?

ICAD Day 19

Day 19 background is crayon, oil pastel, colored pencil and china marker; globe is from a piece of junk mail, text from a quote site, and washi tape (one of my favorite rolls.)


A one staple ICAD, made with scraps from my desk, embellished with black Sharpie.  I have absolutely no idea what KA is or where it came from...

ICADs Days 14-16

Day 14
was a busy one, not much time to play...dictionary page bit, gelli printed deli paper, washi tape-from Martha Stewart, no less--and cut outs.  Nothing like a man in a pink suit!




Day 15-1
Gelli printed and stamped watercolor paper with circles punched out stapled to stamped IC, face cut with circle punch--God bless 55% off coupons at AC Moore--and a bit of washi tape.



Day 15-2
more circles, more dictionary bits, and I am loving the look of faces torn and re-positioned.



Day 15-3
He didn't quite fit on the IC, so I cut him into bits and stuck him back on.
and I am not sure what I think about the idea of cheese poetry...


Week 3 Prompt--Maps
ICAD 16 

I really think that Canada is probably nicely fragrant--all those pine trees.
REALLY liking cutting things apart and gluing them almost together again.

Oil pastel, washi tape, cut outs from a brochure.  You may remember Dolly, the first cloned sheep.

I decided to try and make a mandala--with STAPLES!  Colored with marker and sharpie. #3 id the reverse of the card, showing the stapling.  Can't decide which I like better.
