I'm guessing here but I think the background is glossy cardstock, with decorative edging, on which Linda has stamped some fish with clear embossing ink and then brayered over it with a green ink - it looks like a resist technique and is very effective (I'm going to give it a try). On the background Linda has mounted a cut out image of a stylized cat sitting with a fish in front of it. She has embellished this 3D image with squiggles of very fine coloured wire. It arrived in a clear envelope (which the Canadian P.O. seems very reluctant to accept from me!). A very nice way to brighten my day. Thank you, Linda.

I keep seeing messages about "postoids." What are they?! > >Thanx! - ------- Candi, The following is an explaination that was posted to the list a while back, by Gretchen Davey. If you'd like to receive a little color brochure of my postoid designs, for a 32-cent stamp, just send me your snailmail addy and I'll pop it in the mail for you. :) Sheryl (aka Postoid Artist) "Postoids" by Gretchen Davey Postoids, “Faux Postage Stamps”, Artistamps, Mail Art - all of these are names for a fun hobby that’s been around for a long time, but hasn’t been all that well known around this area. These neat little “postage stamps” can be extremely elaborate, resembling real stamps very closely, or they can be quite simple and very easy to do. Some are made on the computer, or using a copy machine. The techniques we will cover will exclusively use rubber stamps, doing each postoid individually. Postoids are a fun way to enjoy stamping when you don’t have a lot of time or space to do a large item. They’re a great portable project because a lot of it can be done ahead of time. The finish work can be done anywhere - on vacation, in the car, in a waiting room, or anywhere you can color, glitter, or cut! Finished postoids make great envelope decorations and are great for “swapping” with other postoid enthusiasts! Postoids are usually gummed so they can be stuck to envelopes as a decoration, so peel-&-stick paper or gummed paper is a great thing to have on hand. You can also make your own adhesive and paint it on the back. Since this tends to curl the paper, you need to let it dry completely and then iron it flat with a DRY iron (using a cloth). Of course, you can also individually apply glue to each postoid to adhere them to the surface, but if you want to exchange postoids with others, you need to have the adhesive on them in a way that lets others use them easily. The three techniques we will cover are: 1.) Pre-made postoid stamps, 2.) Empty postoid frame/tiny stamp postoids, and 3.) design-your-own postoids. Method #1: Pre-made Postoids. Many companies carry pre-made postoid stamps. Hero Arts, Peddlar’s Pack, and All Night Media are just three companies that carry lots of fun designs. With these, you just stamp the postoid on your surface, color it in, add glitter or other special effects if desired, and cut out. The “Stamp Edgers” from Fiskars make a great postage stamp edge! You can also stamp your postoids right onto the envelope and color them in. This is a great way to decorate your envelope when you don’t have time or the materials to make full-fledged postoids. Sometimes you can’t tell if they’ve been stamped or stuck to the outside of the envelope! Materials needed: Gummed or Peel & Stick Paper Postoid Stamps Coloring markers Glue Stamp Edgers Method #2: Fill a Frame Postoids. Empty postoid frames are carried by a number of companies, such as Hero Arts & TooMuchFun. You then take one of your tiny stamps (didn’t we all start out buying a bunch of those because they were cheaper, but now don’t know what to do with them?) and stamp the image inside of the empty frame. Depending on how your eye is, some prefer to stamp the frame first and then fill it; others stamp the tiny image first and then stamp the frame around it. After coloring the image, add a “postal saying” and “value” and, voila!, you have a postoid! Materials needed: Gummed or Peel & Stick Paper Postoid Frame Tiny Stamps Colored Pens Stamp Edgers Method #3: Design your own Postoids. Sometimes you see a stamp that would make a terrific postoid, but it’s too big for an empty postoid frame. You may have a great idea, but you’ll need to combine a couple of stamps to achieve the results you want. This is where your creativity can kick in! On a piece of paper, play around with your stamps, trying different placements and combinations. When you get the image you want, draw a plain rectangle around it and see if the finished product is what you want. If it is, duplicate your design a number of times on a piece of adhesive backed paper, color and decorate as you please, draw the frames around them, and cut them out with your stamp edgers. Some of these “do-it-yourself” postoids are the neatest of all! Materials Needed: Gummed or Peel & Stick Paper Small stamps Colored pens An extra fine-tipped black pen (for the frame) Stamp edgers Recipe for Adhesive: 1 Tablespoon white glue (like Bordens or Alene’s Tacky Glue) 1 Tablespoon white vinegar 1 drop peppermint (or other) flavoring This can be stored in a small plastic container to have ready to paint onto the back of your paper with a small paint brush. If you want a larger amount, just keep the proportions the same: 1 measure of white glue to 1 measure of white vinegar. Remember that the paper will curl as it dries, so be prepared to iron it flat when it’s dry (or flatten it under a heavy book). - -- Sheryl Davis aka Postoid Artist ICQ# 810266 - - ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 21:26:03 -0800 From: "Ellen Gengler" Subject: RubberTown: Christine and Non glossy sticker paper Fellow Addicts: I have recently found a great quality of self-adhesive paper.
