Old spray paint experiments were unearthed from the bowels of the workshop yesterday. I've become an efficient saver of scrap. I can usually tell what will still appeal to me a year or two from now. The rest gets chucked. For me, nothing blocks new ideas faster than a pile of crap scrap. One look at those old burst of rays with floral sprays over the top, and I knew how I would construct the postcard idea that has taken root in my mind.
I am going to make 9 or 10 million trillion thousand billion of these. I'm flying to Paris tomorrow. Going to set up shop along the Seine. Take photos by day, cut and glue by the light of the moon, sell neatly bundled stacks of these the following day. Buy a ticket on the old Orient Express. Head to Istanbul.
Oh the dreams that inhabit an idle mind. So refreshing!
Next stop Kansas! Mama Moss and I have a date to watch the Biden/Palin debates on Thursday. She's saving a basket of things to throw at the television. I'm bringing our Hope-Nope-Dope t-shirts. Should be a rollicking good time! Speaking of which, if you've missed any of the SNL Tina Fey does Sarah skits, there's a great one right HERE.
Wow.
You have lotsa followers!
These scraps are really yummy, and you obviously know what to do with them. It’s inspirational.
When they’re posted to your Esty, I’ll buy some!
these are so wonderful!!!Do you ever teach workshops?
Have a wonderful vacation and thank you for sharing your divine images
Namaste,
MB
so glad to be able to continue reading your blog!
(so disturbed by artists who are Palin fans — really? still? sadly, yes — some people are so threatened by issues that do not affect them personally that they’d like the government to push their values on the whole world)
anyway! love the postcards and oh, that plan…yes, wouldn’t that be amazing?
enjoy a great vacation — and keep posting throughout i hope!
These all look great. You have a wonderful imagination. I love the tshirt. LOL Please don’t break the TV. And thanks for the link.
I like your plan! And those postcard bundles look to be wonderful.
love the postcards and the tshirts too. Palin: I don’t know whether to laugh or cry or move to one of those spots Bill Maher is featuring every week. Hey, I’m loving your Playlist. I used Balmorhea in a recent issue of skirt! thanks to you.
Crap scrap, I love it! That will really help when I clear out my art space. I inherited the depression era idea of never throwing anything out, I might need it, or it might look beautiful to me in the future. Nope.
Love the t-shirts, BTW. And the postcards are making me delirious!
Those are wonderful! Man, you have a way with the scissors. The recipients will be lucky lucky folks.
Kansas? Paris? Unearthed scrap? Miss Moss is really on the lam! Enjoy…some for me, too. My ELD lesson is being “observed” tomorrow (like after 32 years I haven’t quite figured out what 6 year olds need to talk about).
yes, indeedy!
Speaking of stencils…I happened on stencil cut sheets of scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby on Saturday (half price, no less!) I found four different cuts. Maybe I shall spray away on journal pages….
“crap scrap”. i like that
I’ll be the tall, mysterious woman in the dark glasses who buys all the postcards and then invites you into her horse drawn carriage for a clip clop around the Seine. Then we’ll find an Indian restaurant and order those big mango whatchamacallits and talk crazy talk as the moon rises. Look for me.
These postcards are seriously wonderful.
Give a girl a cutting device and see what happens…
Trash to Treasure….
The debates:
Me?…I’ll be sitting on the couch biting a pillow and hoping for a repeat of Kennedy vs Nixon. Slam Dunk & swish……
YES!!!!!!!!!!
to all
and to all
the above
and below
I say YES!!!!!!!!!!
well except HER
you know who I mean…
xox – eb.
Oh, boy, these are great! Put your name on the Discovery Tour list and let us all buy them!
Personally, I am taking medication before the debate on Thursday. I don’t think I can stand it otherwise.
Oh man oh man. Those are beautiful. And it sounds like a divine plan (flight, Seine, scissors, bundles, repeat).
I love, love, love, love, LOVE those postcards. Please save me a bundle – will be there as soon as I can.
May I come visit in Paris for a bit?? I need to do some serious shopping …. and eating. I can bring you food too!!
The postcards are looking amazing….
miss you!!
I will be there along the Seine
with a pocket full of change –
scooping up all the bundled postcards 🙂
We’ll head to the Basque region, together,
and do it all again!
