I have about a bizillion envelopes in my office, no joke. It's a seemingly endless supply of them. Some have great postmarks, others have amazing stamps, and some are just made out if very interesting paper.So, what happens with all of these? Usually, they are tossed into the recycling bin.
What's going to happen to at least some of these this year? An art journal. Yup... starting this weekend, these guys are going to be recycled into something colorful, creative and wonderful. And I am inviting you to come be a part of the journey and make your own.
Here's what you need to do... gather stuff. Don't make judgments about whether or not it would be "good" to use, just believe it is. Gather envelopes, junk mail, newspaper pages, etc., and come play with me next week. I'll be walking you through the process of turning junk into beauty. I'll be starting the process this weekend, and the first post will show up on Monday. That gives you plenty of time to gather ye goods.
Watch'a waitin' for?
COOL!!
ReplyDeleteGreat! I was reading through old Cloth Paper Scissors issues last night and found a tutorial for making my own paper, so this morning I started cutting up egg cartons and recycling stuff to make some.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing what you do! I'm pulling stuff out of my recycling bin today!
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your new journal...I am overloaded now so I will have to decline this challenge. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool idea! I also like the various layers of paints you laid down on the envelopes. The neat thing about envelopes, they are sturdy! Especially the brown ones..
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, June! Hope it'll be a great one for you. :)
