I ♥ paper!
Posted by u l a n on Monday, June 13, 2005 at 5:50 PM.
So, I've gotten through the first week of my ATC swaps and I've got to stop for a bit because most of the cards have already been traded. The ones that have been left are the ones I'm reluctant to let go of, like the portrait series and a couple of new pixie cards in collage. [Cards here]
I also made new ones during my late lunch at The Chocolate Kiss Cafe. I usually sketch the flowers on my table in my journal while waiting for my order, but this time, I did so on blank 2.5"x3.5" cards. I rather liked the outcome, in all its crookedness, so I thought to keep the cards and not put them up for swaps. I even wrote my journal entry around them, thinking I'd stick them on the page.
I figured I'd better just get them copied at SC, so that I could trade them and keep the copies for my journal. I walked over to SC after lunch and found a nice non-crowded stall with a color copier. I was going to have them copy the cards in color on regular paper, when this girl dumped a stack of glossy boards in front of me. So, I had them do the copies on board!
When the copy came out of the machine, I gasped and said out loud: "Ang saya!!!" And the copy-guy laughed.
I went home happily clutching my 11.75"x17" poster of ATCs hehe.
Now, my dilemma is whether to go ahead with my original plan of cutting it up into small cards. It looks so nice as a poster. =P
