Armistice Day/Remembrance Day/Veterans Day ATART Nov 11 - 14, 2022

Friday started over 5 hours ago in New Zealand so we started to make cards four hours ago . I try to upload some cards soon.

[HHC]

I have some backgrounds ready and some things cut out and should have some cards shortly.

I've had this project of cleaning up the "studio" area - which is also the catch all for my Etsy shop. I have it partway done, so it's controlled chaos at the moment. That is also on my agenda today.

Part of that is going through old saved collage images and recycling... I may find something fun.

My first cards. Nothing to do with anything. I'm just going through my little boxes and using what I find.

Wonderful cards Sniisk!

My first cards ... background is bleached stamped script from LONG ago, found when sorting the art stash. Images are from 1907 postcards.

So you used bleach on a stamp? What a cool idea. I’ve bleach “printed” fabric (with a cut potato stamp), but paper never occurred to me. What type of paper did you use?

jez, this was from a long ago play session with a group of artists and I can't recall if we used a specific type of paper. I don't really think so. Edited to add - this was likely on construction type paper. It is a heavier weight and has tooth.
Of course, you rinse the stamp immediately. The lady who showed us this used to own a craft store, started with just stamps and paper and went from there. She used to stamp and draw with bleach on t-shirts also, made some pretty cool things. I have only used bleach like this in that play session. lol

I'm recovering from this virus and also hoping to go out of town Monday, but I also hope to play a little. And I cleared out my PM box.

Thanks for the info, HHC.
Tshirts are fun and easy. I’ve also used bleach in a spray bottle with home made stencils. And I tie dyed with bleach back in high school.
I’ll have to try this on paper when I have time for a new project. I’m beginning to wish I had more/better stamps.

[HHC]

Jo, your turkey's are fabulous.

Here's a couple more from me. Background paper was made using leaves as the "stamp" and inks, and then I photo copied to get more life from them.

One for me so far:

[HHC]

Great, Cynthia!

So I'm a bit grumpy. My laptop was being glitchy, but still working, so I took it to the tech folks at the local Office Max to be serviced. It's been there since Monday at noon. Really long sad story involving inept in-store tech... and after he and "online" techs worked on it all week, they finally decided it has a bad hard drive. And now it's not working at all. Someone who knew what they were doing would have figured it out a bit faster, I'm thinking. Anyway, I went to the store and picked up my computer and am looking for a local person who can do computer things to "fix" it. The local guy I used in the past retired. And I'm extremely grateful that my son is letting me use his laptop in the meantime.

Onward and upward.

And on a happier note, I came across my twinkling H20's rearranging a drawer, and decided it would be fun playing with them. Who knows what will come of that. lol!
