How's this for fun? I was playing around in Photoshop which lead me to creating postcards which lead me to dragging out the England photos which lead me to creating faux postage to go with the faux cards from a faux trip to a faux country that's a cross between England, Italy and France (an English garden on a French "postcard" with an Italian "stamp"). Bellisimabeaupucka.
The top three "stamps" are ATC-sized.

These are all a ruse - fake fake fake but fun fun fun. Wish me were there.
More dumpster art this week - stay tuned. Went to Noblesville after a depressing trip to the local mall that pulled up absolutely no grunge and very little rust. Even the parking lots were crack-free. I never realized how boringly well kept up the local mall was. Not that Noblesville isn't kept up, mind you. It's a sweet little town north of Indianapolis. But it has c-h-a-r-a-c-t-e-r and doesn't mind if its age shows just a bit. Peeling paint, cracks and rusty dumpsters are so much more appealing when one is carrying their camera.
All are marvelously dreamy, Gale! I just purchased and played with your collage sheets for the first time. Thank you for providing us with such quality and outstanding images! I've created a few pieces that I really love. You can see two in my last two blog posts. I have more waiting in the wings for future posts.
Your creativity has enhanced mine, and I am so grateful!
Blessings to you, Gale
Creatively Yours, Laura

"Bellisimabeaupucka" My new favourite word and everything now makes sense. I really like these stamps and the postcards you made.
