PIF - Local Ephemera

PIF – Local Ephemera


One woman’s rubbish is anothers…..

I recently sent Joni Owens some paper scraps which included some local stuff including some pages from the Edinburgh Film and International Festivals brochures, flyers for plays being staged locally, Scottish magazines featuring local artists, etc, etc.

They caught my eye because of the images and colours and thought they could be used in a multitude of ways, to be cut up as part of an ATC or inchie, used as the backing, or maybe just to inspire us to go interpret a design in our own way.

The added element is to send them international. This will be our chance to pick up pieces which we wouldn’t normally be able to do, unless we were travelling………

Have a look around you, most of this is free, and some of it is well designed and can be inspiring. Remember it may be everyday to you, but it is likely to be unusual to someone else!


So who wants to play?

I offer some local pieces from Edinburgh and Fife in Scotland

[ScramperSue]

I'll have to start collecting stuff :)

[amyfaerie]

so, a really great place to gather this sort of thing is at the local library, at least around western PA.

i think it's an awesome idea! i'll take your scotland stuff, Bright-Spark, and offer some Pittsburgh, PA stuff from the United States!

[Ibus]

Great idea! I''d like the Pittsbueg/PA stuff please and offer some more Scotland/Glasgow and surrounds stuff

[HHC]

I'll take your Scotland/Glasglow stuff, Ibus, and offer some Bellingham, Washington and surrounding area stuff. :)

[Bright-Spark]

I'm going to jump back in and pinch HHC's Washington stuff.

I again offer Edinburgh, but with a dash of Rotterdam this time!

I work between the Netherlands and UK, so now I have started this ATC malarky, I will be keeping my eyes peeled whilst I am travelling and pick up bits and pieces. I managed to pick some up yesterday, so these can be included this time round.

[Ibus]

Rotterdam sounds interesting, but you need my Scotland stuff as much as I need yours! :D

[mrubyjean]

Bright-Spark ~ I would love your Edinburgh/Rotterdam stuff!
I offer some Seattle WA (city/waterfront/neighborhoods) stuff.

[Polar Art]

Who wants some Canadian stuff?? I work in Toronto, but live in a small town east of the city (Whitby), so can provide things from both areas.

Also....does anyone want anything iin French (I frequently travel to our office in Montreal, Quebec)???

[mrubyjean]

Polar Art ~ do you want my Seattle WA stuff?
I don't want to send stuff to you if you don't really want it, but usually in these swaps, you take the offer of the person before you, then make your own offer. It keeps things running smoothly :D

[Polar Art]

mrubyjean - yes, I'd love your Seattle WA stuff. I'll PM you.

I again offer Toronto / Whitby / Montreal stuff.
