Postage Due


Here are three new blocks of postage stamps...and just in time. I'm planning a scrappy giveaway starting tomorrow. The giveaway will start tomorrow and I will collect comments on tomorrow's post. I will leave it open for a week and then Molly will pick a lucky random winner. Unfortunately, due to the crazy of cost of shipping, this can't include international participants. But more about that tomorrow...


And yes, I have woefully neglected the "Put a Bird On It" daily challenge. Nor am I willing to fully give up on the vulture because I have a quilt project planned featuring a vulture. Also, I have a yard flamingo waiting for a conversion. That said, June will be the the month of the chicken...Buddy's favorite.

However, if you are missing any of the "Put a Bird On It" adventures, you might enjoy this Old Navy ad that features Noah Scalin, a Virginia artist who had an amazing skull a day project that turned into the 365 day challenge blog and a series of books. He has also worked to develop green graphic design practices. This seems to have converged into "painting" with clothes which you can see in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-izn3B4DyM.

I like these stamp blocks with the various solids. And I giggle as I took time to 'look' at the prints - I have a lot of those! The month of the chicken - maybe that will get me moving on my plaid chicks.

Wow - "painting" with clothes. Who'da thunk it?! (it was pretty darn cool!)

Month of the chicken: Smitty wonders what you’re implying with that choice. He really prefers gopher...when, when you think about it, tastes just like chicken.

I like your stamp blocks!

Hmmm... painting with clothes is a whole lot more appealing than folding them and putting them in my dresser...

That was a cool video! It amazes me how people can create such nuanced images with color (paint, clothes, fabric, etc). So is June “chicken” month or “tastes like chicken” month? Asking for Alfalfa.
