Inspired by Unruly PaperArts blog, I spent the day making oversized ephemera backgrounds to be cut into postcards, ATCs and index cards for ICAD. Used aeronautical maps, sewing patterns, Asian and Korean text, encylopedia diagrams, school workbook projects, pages from vintage postage stamp catalog, sheet music and yellowed text from an old Reader's Digest book.
"Diese Weihnachtsmotive sind selbstklebend, werden also ohne Wasser einfach vom Unterpapier abgelöst und auf Geschenkpäckchen, Weihnachtskarten oder andere Basteleien übertragen."
"These Christmas motifs are self-adhesive, so they are simply removed from the backing paper without water and transferred to gift packages, Christmas cards or other handicrafts."
