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.
