Supplies:
women's magazines
scissors
glue stick
4x6-inch index cards
clear decoupage
medium
paint brush
Directions:
1- Tear and clip out headlines and oddball phrases.
If you think the headlines in some popular women's
magazines are ridiculous, just imagine how crazy they
sound when they're taken out of context.
2- Find an image or series of images to glue onto the
index card. (Skip this if you want to cover your
index card with wall to wall headlines.)
3- Glue your headlines and text clippings over the
image you glued to the index card.
4- Paint over the entire surface with clear decoupage
medium and put it aside to dry.
5- Scan your postcard into your computer and e-mail
it off to a friend. Or, if you prefer, mail it with a
stamp the old fashion way. If you decided to share
your art via e-mail, you can place you're original
art in a plexiglass frame and hang it on the wall.
Cut and paste away!
Note: If you make
a postcard I'd love to see it. Send your artwork
to me along with your name, age, city
and country of residence. I'll post the responses
on my blog and link to yours.
