ALTeReD ART SuPPLiES

Hi-well count me in! What don't I like? I especially like nautical/beach/ocean ephemera and in other areas I like bright colorful things, or girly things (like pinks and purples). I'm not much of a sepia person unless it is for a swap. I like a bit of humor. I use transparencies, rub-ons, clip art (esp. children), old postage stamps (colorful), stick-on gems, vintage color ads or postcards. What else? I have to think.

It would be easier to say what I don't like in the world of ephemera! But my favorites are anything Halloween, or spookieookie. I also like images of Paris or France. Victorian ladies, orange fluffie cats (well black cats too!), masks, Phantom of the Opera type stuff. Playing cards, Tarot cards, charms for jewelry, bottle caps, game parts and pieces, wooden bingo chips, old keys (rusty or not), Mermaid and fish images and stuff. Sky charts. Fave colors are Red and Pink, and black! Transparencies. Old hat flowers and veils. Photos of "Haunted Houses" or old cemetaries with lots of headstones. I'm looking for some of those miniature brooms I've seen people using on PaperBag Witch books. I live in a crafts store deprived area!!!!! Just don't send me anything that's MODERN and I'll be pleased!!! Antique type and old (reproductions or original) is what turns me on! Oh book pages with French writeing is great!

I looove vintage ephemera (who doesn't??), vintage buttons, vintage/reproduction photos or postcards, ATC blanks (but not glossy stock) , old vintage text pages, (german or spanish text I have a hard time finding!) tarot cards, unique papers, Halloween witches & kids, old bingo cards, winged collage sheets, ...there's just too much to list! Basically I love vintagey-type stuff and am not into the modern "cutesy" type look and I love to be surprised!

I am fond of wine labels, food labels from healthy foods only (international food labels are especially welcome), advertisements for healthy food, menus, old cookbooks (especially those with photos of unhealthy food!). I like vintage, though despise Victorian, even if it is real vintage Victorian. I like anything with camels. And bees and honey are a passion. I adore anything to do with reading. I like pockets and small envelopes. Textured paper thrills me. Your small hand-drawn creations that you will allow me to use (with credit) in my artwork would be a treasure item. I like interesting clothing tags. I'm always looking for more tiny chunky books I can alter. I love the letters Z, A and M.

I don't like "kawaii" at all, but I love to hear cute stories about your pets, so you can get your cute out with a little story :-)

I absolutely LOVE anything with a Halloween or Witch theme, anything with a black CROW or RAVEN, Vintage Halloween/Witch ephemera, vintage Bingo cards, blank white ATC cards, blank paper bag album, Scrabble letter tiles, plastic letter tiles, Tarot cards, bottle caps with images, ribbons & fibers, vintage paper ephemera, vintage photographs, collage sheets, Typewriter alphabet stickers, spooky charms, Tea-Stained shipping tags, Walnut Ink or Walnut Ink Crystals, old rusty keys, vintage buttons & funky beads, Library Pockets & cards, altered popsicle sticks, and vintage postage stamps.

PostMuse....I mailed Tues....let me know! Gina

PostMuse- I did raid the recipe box of my late mother, who was born in 1922, but did not part with anything of sentimental value and am so glad you will enjoy it and was so glad I had some of what you were looking for. I had also purchased already some 1930s and 1940s issues of Vogue, McCall's, Better Homes and Gardens and one other for fashions for a project and heads to alter and some color ads, but had tons of pages that had no plans...and now they do. Enjoy!
