Mar 15 2022, Thing made from a gift pack

 I'm on a Facebook group that is focused on using the scraps of paper that we have in our stashes. Part of this list is a pay-it-forward type activity. Today, I received a stuffed envelope from another of the list members. I was inspired to make things from her gift today. Her stuff was gorgeous and here is what I have made so far:

Four cards and a 3x4 notebook

Four more cards

And 3 more cards

3 more little notebooks

March 13 2022 Still More Art Index Cards

 And once again, I present a few more of the backlog of my art index cards.  I'm working on other things, too, and they will appear as I have time.  

March 12 2022 Some "Glue Book" Pages

 What is a glue book?  Well, for me, it is a page in a junk mail catalog that I fill with other images in a large (about 8x10 inches) collage .  These pages are meant to be cut apart and subsequently used in creating ephemera for junk journals.  Tags, pockets, journaling cards, belly bands and so forth.  Sometimes, I can't bring myself to cut them after they are complete, so I scan, then print, then use that copy, leaving the original intact.  I'm that way.  They often are inspired by the art from Monty Python -- scale varies greatly, subjects are offbeat and sometimes just plain odd.  I haven't found a giant hedgehog yet, but I'm looking!  Here are a few I've made; I'll post more as time goes on.

March 10 2022 More Art Index Cards

 Here are a few more of the backlog of index cards.  I'm enjoying looking at these cards again, it has been several months since I made them.

March 7 2022 Some Atypical/Fun Items

 For today, I'll start off with a few fun/funky things I've made.  These first items are not my "usual" style.  A friend gave me a Ripley's Believe It Or Not book and challenged me to make cards or junk journal pages from it.  So, I started with cards and envelopes first, they are the easiest.  Here are the first three cards:

This is a 10-story hotel in China called the Tianzi (Sons of Heaven).  Left to right, they are Shou (Longevity), Fu (Fortune), and Lu (Happiness).  Shou is holding a peach in his left hand, which is actually the Presidential Suite of the Hotel. 

This one is a collage of many of the leftover bits from making the other two cards and the envelopes below.

7 policy-style envelopes that go with the cards.
