Penpals, Scrapbookers, Postcard Artists and Other Creative Types

[Gemme]

Your talents are wanted here!

I've been a penpal for a few years now and have completed some artistic endeavors through group rounds with great success. I find the artistic expression of the people I've had the pleasure of knowing and corresponding with to be exemplary.

This is a thread for those who would like to connect (or reconnect) with other artistic types, whether it be by penpalling, swapping small craft projects or coming together to design new ways to share our love of pen, paper, glue and glitter.

Happy creating, all!

[little man]

is love of glitter a prerequisite?

Not at all! I've seen your work and it's fantastic.

i've been making postcards of late and have grand plans for some x-mess cards.

anybody wants in, drop me a pm with mailing addy. especially you, ms. gemme....haven't heard from you in a while. :)

[evolveme]

I used to do all of these things.

I still have boxes of magazines (like The Sun and Art Forum), special paper and nearly a house FULL of favorite pens (my favorite thing to shop for) just for this purpose. I crafted my hand-written letters with these things along with leaves, flowers, small found objects, etc.

I really should get back to it. It was a pleasure.

(Not a fan of glitter here.)

Some of my friends turned me onto Postsecret.com and I love the concept of putting one's most secret thoughts and desires onto a 3x5 or 4x6 card and revealing them to others, sometimes anonymously.

Glad to see your interest!

No worries. Glitter is not a requirement...just the urge to create and the willingness to keep in touch with others. That's it. :)

i'm tracing my hand and making construction paper
turkeys and gluing them onto paper plates as we speak.
and i have glitter in an autumnal palate for the haters.

My birthday is on Thanksgiving this year.

My dad used to call me Turkey. (He thought this was quite clever.)

I should like to celebrate with a crepe paper Turkey.

A giant one.

Or just some of those little hand ones like Ben-Her is making.

I don't want to set myself up to fail or anything.

[girl_dee]

my hobbies have changed through the ages

As of late I am into making photocards out of the pictures I take at the resort here... It's an amazing place... I get to sell them when we are open for the season.. I would like to expand this one day...



The link in my sigline has samples..

I also like to crochet to keep my hands busy and keep me out of trouble.

Wil your postcards are great

no no to glitter

It may take me six (or twenty-four) months, but eventually my guilt and need to create will get the better of me.

Yes, please.

Dear me.

So so sorry.

I guess the only thing we can do here is have you post a pic of one of your turkeys. Next to something. For relative comparison.

Say, a bread box?

Thanks for sharing.

I'm wondering if there is a Turkey pinata around? You could whack the hell out of it....would that give You some closure? Especially if You filled it with chocolatey goodness? :D

I can't imagine You failing at anything......

That sounded like a veiled attempt at sucking up, but it wasn't. I've had therapy. :twitch:

[PinkieLee]

Hey everybody count me in! Staying in Diva's scrackroom last weekend, made my crafty mind start running AMOK. She showed me some of the amazing artwork that she's received... I was in awe of the talent.

I look forward to seeing this kick off!

*laughing* Yes, Gemme, I stuck my hand up next to the screen too! :cheesy:

Now y'all have me thinking papier mache... big balloon, couple cereal boxes for the chipboard to make the tail, old newspapers--or junk mail!--hmmmm... paper towel roll for the neck, small balloon for the head... can you papier mache a latex glove? Gotta make the comb out of something similar, maybe stuff it with wadded paper towels to get the right size and shape?

The wattles..... hmmm.... old sock?

This is terrible... y'all know I'm not gonna actually make this thing, but now it's on my mind and I just know I'm gonna start scrounging for the materials, sheesh. :doh:

*peeks in* Mind if I come in and join what appears to be the party over here? I'm dying to start sharing more of my crafty side. I can barely crochet, do digital art, starting to get into scrapbooking with my girl, am majorly into bead sprites and am trying to get into needle felting as well!

So can I join the fun over here?

I would like to say, however, that once the holiday season is over and the new year begins, I'd like to start an art project here. One like many of us are used to doing elsewhere. So, everyone who is similarly-minded, please be thinking of ideas. Perhaps we could all come up with something and vote on what project to start with. Sound fair?

That makes the most sense. Maybe later down the road we could implement what I was thinking of suggesting, which is a crafty mash up, like the music mash ups done on Glee. That's why I was asking for ideas. That can be done any time, though, and the timing would be right for V-Day with your idea.

I like this idea. Anyone else?

Could we do Valentinesque postcards? And not just about romantic love, but also about things for which we carry a madcrazywild passion? (For example....I might do a postcard with a music theme, etc.)

We could begin AFter the new year....they could be due Feb. 1st and the Wrangler could get them to everyone well before Valentine's Day.....

Just a thought. I don't mind wrangling.....but I have no ego about it either if someone else would like to do the Wrangle Tango! :duck:

I really like doing the postcards, but I'd like to keep everyone's options open if they'd like to go a bit bigger or smaller. How about our topic simply being PASSION, in whatever form and variation our fellow artists would like it to be?

I think I might like to wrangle again. If not this one, then the next.

I'll jello wrestle you for either one....just for fun. :trampoline:

[Logicaly]

Passion is a good topic! I like that idea alot! And, can I video tape you two jello wrestling? That could be MY passion! :superfunny:

You can wrangle, but I get to choose the flavor of jello.
I know.
I'm a trollop that way. (Isn't that a song?):rockband:


I like the postcard size for several reasons:

*If we have a large group (and we may not right now cuz we're all new & chit), regular-sized postcards are easier.

*Easier to mail

*Easier to put in the SCRACKbook! ;)


So that being said.....You wrangle. :D

Okay, so we'll stick to as close to postcard size as possible, keep the topic of Passion(s), I'll wrangle, we'll wrestle and may I suggest peach or lemon jello as they will be less likely to stain our delicate pale skin? :spruceup:

The first round for 2010 is based on PASSION. Whatever, whoever is your passion....then that is what you need to show us. Keep your creations as close to 4x6 as possible, please, so Diva can put your work in her scrackbook. :giggle:

The postmark should be February 1st. Let's try to be punctual, yes?

The deadline to sign up for this project is January 21st. I don't know what day it is, but I like the sound of it, so :raspberry:

If you have any questions, either Diva or I can answer them, since Diva put me in charge. Boy, are you all in TRRRRRROOOOUUUUUBBBBBLLLLLLE! :huhlaugh:

You are added since the deadline to sign up isn't until the 21st. Please have your art in the mail on or before the 1st of February, though, okay?

I am very excited that so many want to participate in this project! However, if the number gets any larger, I may ask that you all throw $6 in instead of $5. If no one else signs up, no worries, but if more sign up, does this sound feasible and fair to you all?

Hi all!

Hi Rain! good to see you~

The rules and regulations, including deadlines are listed above, ami. :)

If you know you are going to have an issue with being on time, please let me know as soon as possible. I'm not a tyrant (not usually anyway) but I won't hold everyone up for one person either.

Please include $5 with your work for shipping and handling. If your work is an odd shape or is bulky, please include a few dollars extra.

In case my point hasn't been made clear.....

Today is January 30th. February 1st is the deadline to mail your goodies out to me. They MUST be postmarked by that date. No one has come to me to say they will have difficulty making that date, so I'm holding each and every one of you accountable for getting your artistic endeavors to me in time for me to repackage everyone's yummy projects and get them back to you in a reasonable amount of time.

Everyone needs to include $5 with their projects to help with the cost of reshipping them out to the other participants. If you've designed and created pieces of art that are larger or more bulky or awkward than what could be deemed a reasonable size, then please add an extra buck or two since the postage to send all of the packages out will increase also.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to seeing what everyone came up with.

Dropping mine off at the post office on my lunch break today. I hope they survive the trip, ive never mailed this stuff before and some times it can be fragile and break apart easy.

Oh, and as a fun part...I got RainbowChick07 to join me, so we mixed our passions together into one piece. =)

Actually, this is going to be my only post until long after the post office is closed (at least on the East Coast), so if someone needs my addy, I hereby give Diva permission to give it out for the purpose of this project. I'm glad you that took that initiative, Pixie!

That's a scary thought, isn't it? :groucho:

Nah....

[purepisces]

How bad is it if I didn't get mine mailed today? I went to the post office TWICE today, but the lines were crazy and I had to get back to work.

I promise to go back tomorrow and wait in line no matter how long it takes and I'll mail it priority so that it will get to you super fast!

Please don't make an example of me because it's not postmarked Feb. 1st!!!

You're going to Hell in a handbasket. The true cruelty? It's NOT a decorated one. Not even little streamers on the side.

*shakes head*

You're fine as long as I get them in my hands by Saturday, the 6th. Those that come after Saturday won't be included, no ifs ans or buts about it. I'm repackaging everything over the weekend and will mail them out first thing Monday morning (Feb. 8th). If something is in my mail on Monday, tough tomatoes.

I didn't used to be this way, but I know I'm not the only wrangler frustrated with folks who blatantly lie and say, "It's in the mail!" (I'm not a debt collector, people!) or "I'm working on it! It's coming...etc" and then NOTHING comes from them. Ever.

There is one person like that who signed up for this project. I hope that that person comes through this time or I will....if Diva and you all ever let me wrangle again that is....automatically take them OFF of any project I wrangle in the future. I will also call this person out for wasting my time, both as a wrangler and as a participant, as well as wasting everyone else's time too since they made a piece of work for that person. Not to mention that it's just not FAIR to any of us who did take the time and effort to complete the round.

Now, understand that I'm saying this after YEARS of this behavior. Years. Not just one or two projects. Years.

So, no....being a day behind won't hurt you. Just please make sure that it arrives no later than 5 days from now or 4 working days from now. :)

I will make sure it's there. I worked way too hard on this to not get to use them now!!!

This is only the second time I've participated, but there was a big delay waiting for one person last time and I was so anxious to see what everyone had done. It's good to know there won't be a long wait this time.

Nope. I've done that before and it's just not fair to the rest of the participants. Besides, if we wait too long, the anticipation dies down and that's not fair either. I like that part the BEST I think! :)

I will post in here when everything goes out so you all will know to be on the lookout for your goodies.

Softness
Pixie
Ami
Tommi (and I can definitely do what you asked!)
Logicaly and Rainbowchick

Everyone (but ami--and she is sending me a handmade card, so neener neener to the rest of you!:spruceup::smelling-flower:) sent money. Logicaly, what you sent should be fine. You and rainbow did great!

Everyone has done something completely different and very exciting. You all are going to be very pleased with your own and everyone else's work.

Fantastic job!

[Logicaly]

Sweet I'm glad to hear that they arrived okay. I hope everyone enjoys them as much as I enjoyed making them.

[Soft*Silver]

this was my first time (blushing over how that sounds..LOL) and I hope I did ok...I dont know how involved you all got into your craft and I tried to do something nice but not overboard. Please give me feedback..!!! I want to be an active member of this so I need to know what is expected or what is the norm..k?

I'm sure you did great softness. It was my first time participating too and it was a little intimidating for me as well especially since I'm sure mine is less paper and more something else. I think its more so about just sharing your creativity with everyone no matter how it comes out and in what form. It is art after all and left open for interpretation.

[julieisafemme]

Hello Crafty Ones. I am not so good with the crafts. I want to be! I am going to read this thread from the beginning so I can understand what to do. My question though is Gemme you are going to the reunion? Could we plan a couple of hours to get crafty there? That would be super fun!

[Gemme]

Mine went into Monday's mail.....so soon, I'm hoping! :D I can't wait to see everyone's creations!

Actually, I got yours today, gorgeous, and they made me teary.

Beautiful!

Softness, it's not about what's the 'norm' around these parts. It's whatever fits in the parameters given by the wrangler and what you come up with. Nothing illegal or dangerous, of course. What you did was lovely!

I've fallen kinda hard for the "card" type of project. Throw in my recent recycle, reuse, reduce phase and you all are receiving other people's MAIL....only in my style. So, I took postcards and flyers and whatnot that came to my work and home and I played with paint and all kinds of good, crafty stuff and...well....you'll see it when you get it. It's definitely not going to be exhibited in a museum one day, but it's fun and easy for me to do and won't cost a bazillion to mail. :thumbsup:

I'm sure you did great softness. It was my first time participating too and it was a little intimidating for me as well especially since I'm sure mine is less paper and more something else. I think its more so about just sharing your creativity with everyone no matter how it comes out and in what form. It is art after all and left open for interpretation.

I can't wait til folks see yours! I wonder if it will take them as long as it did me to actually "see" what you'd done. :giggle: No telling, though! They are going to have to figure things out themselves or ask you once all the packages go out.

Hello Crafty Ones. I am not so good with the crafts. I want to be! I am going to read this thread from the beginning so I can understand what to do. My question though is Gemme you are going to the reunion? Could we plan a couple of hours to get crafty there? That would be super fun!

Hi, Julie! No need to go back to the beginning, unless you just feel like it. We're coming to the end of the current project. Soon, Miss Diva will announce the next project, as she is the designated wrangler. I, however, am on call for her if some of you ruffians get out of hand. :eyebrow:

So, bear with us for a week or so and we'll have a sign up for the new project. I think I'm safe saying that we would all love to have you participate!

As for doing something like this at the reunion, that is certainly feasible. I will be driving down, so I could bring some basic goodies with me in my car or someone could mail a box of their supplies to the hotel too. It's possible. Maybe we can revisit this idea a little later? I think it has promise.

Ami, I got the card today!

Cara, I didn't receive your work yet, but I had to go into work waaaay earlier than I expected today. It may very well be waiting for me when I get off. Or tomorrow. I'm not worried as long as it makes it way to me before Saturday afternoon! :)

[Logicaly]

It helps if you look at it from a distance gemme but I will leave it at so I don't spoil it for anyone else. However you should try it some time. I've made coasters and others have made jewelry and clocks etc with that style.

Hmm...I sent it via first class mail on Monday @ 5:50:55. So, it probably went out in Tuesday's mail. I think it's interesting that mail from farther away is taking less time to get to you than mine from only a few zip codes away. What's up with that? Hope I addressed the package correctly! :|

I'm not worried. :)

I love this idea, Miss Diva Extraordinaire!

Just got back from the post office. sorry was a little late but i have not been out of the house till today......Rain..:rainsing:

Thank you for letting us know, Rain. If something like this happens again, please just pm the wrangler a little sooner, okay?

If everyone is okay with waiting another day, I can hold the packages until I receive Rain's work.

Today I received purepisces (gorgeous and I love that you already assigned who they are to go to...less work, yanno!) and cara's. Cara, the problem was that there was postage due and I didn't get the card until today. A whopping .34! :blink: But I got them and they are beeeee u tee full! Whoever it was that helped you (a site member? friend? family? scrapbooker extraordinaire?) did great too! Your's is like mine, only yours is what I might deem "sophisticated". Mine's kinda rough around the edges, but I like that way. ;)

Now that I know Rain's is in the mail, I am still waiting on:

Braedon
hippieflowergirl
Kassy
Irish

I know I am very disappointed that there are so many projects that haven't come in yet. I'd like to remind everyone to consider whether they are ACTUALLY going to send something out before they put their name down on a list. We, as participants, take your word....your honor....that you will participate too and so we take extra time, make extra effort and spend extra money to make sure there are enough items for everyone. I think it's terribly rude to sign up and then not send anything or let anyone know if you are having difficulties.

It honestly bothers me enough to not want to do any more projects with people who haven't 'proven' themselves, yanno? Why waste my time and energy when it's obvious that nearly half the people that sign up don't give a damn? Or maybe I just take this more seriously than most people. I dunno. I just know it sucks like Hoover on acid.

Alrighty.........let's get started......

lol

Definitely. I'd like to see you go all MST on the Ts. Really, I would. :blink:

I do understand that life gets in the way and sometimes folks forget, especially since it's been a while since they signed up, but for cryin' out loud! We're ADULTS!

You SAY something, for Pete's sake!

I'm more irritated that NO ONE has pm'd me or come into the thread (before Rain) to say "I've had an issue with this" in any way than I am that they didn't actually send anything. Where's the consideration? The love?

Love ---> :awww: I gots it, but not from those on the list. :eyebat:

*le sigh*

[cara]

glad you got mine! i used the auto postage center so it should have been correct amount. i apologize and will send extra cash-ola next time you wrangle, k? naughty kids need a time out, me thinks.

And not just You as the Wrangler Goddess....but the rest of us made things for them....so it's just all the way around inconsiderate.

Absolutely. Please see my previous rant(s) for that very train of thought.

I do understand about stuff coming up. Just keep whoever is in charge of the next round you participate in informed, okay? It helps a lot! :)

Once I get yours and divvy it up, I'l send the new, fully loaded with goodies packages out to everyone that day if I can get to the post office before work.

If any of the other missing work comes in then, I'll do the same. I won't hold up the project past Tuesday, at the latest, though.

Excellent idea, Tommi! I know the past Craft baskets have gone over very well at previous Butch Femme get togethers. I'll figure something out for this one too! :cheesy:

[Gemme]

On a separate note, hippie contacted me. She's been ill and not at home for a while. As she expressed interest in still sending out her goodies to you all, I recommended that she get our addies when she is ready to do that, so that we will still get a chance to share her work and she won't feel pressured to push herself to finish them and send them out before she's ready.

So, keep in mind that, at a later date, she will need the addies of those that participated in the Passions round to get her finished work out to you all. Also, keep her in your thoughts for a speedy healing.

are you going to send out what you have for her?

If that's what the majority wants, absolutely. I was going to leave it up to you all but I was thinking I would. :)

I'm going to donate a piece of my pottery for our basket....is that ok?

[Gemme]

For those that don't know, Diva makes beautiful pottery! It would be a lovely and unexpected additon to our basket. :)

Okay, Passions round participants!!! Those who sent me your goodies....:giggle:.....I loved EVERYTHING you did! It seems that, as diverse as we are as individuals and as a community, we have some similar passions. Family is big as is the arts. We're so talented! :cheesy:

I got Rain's work this afternoon and will be sending the packages out tomorrow. If I don't have anyone's addy (for whatever reason), I'll pm you or take it from the package you sent me.

If you do NOT want me to send one of your pieces to hippie, please pm me and let me know. This is your work and will be distributed as you all see fit.

Since we had a surprisingly high number of participants bail on us, obviously there will be leftover pieces. Tommi, I think it's best if I send your leftovers back to you but if anyone else would like theirs back, please let me know by pm TODAY (I most likely won't have internet access tomorrow, so now's the chance to let me know what you'd like me to do or not do with your work). Otherwise, if I don't hear anything different, I will divvy it up so we will receive more than one piece by the same person.

Even though this round didn't quite turn out how I expected it to, I have been very pleased with the work sent in and very proud of my fellow penpallers and crafty types. You all do beautiful work and it's been a pleasure to wrangle this round for you that showed me a different (or more personal) part of you.

Please don't forget to pull the green string on Ami's work! I can't remember off the top of my head if she has instructions on the pieces or not, but I do remember that she posted a reminder a while back. :)

I would like to MAKE the basket. I have been a weaver for years and I gotta brag that my baskets are very very nice........ give it a think and let me know! Rain :rainsing:Okay crafty ones...What can we come up with???..

[Gemme]

The packages went out yesterday afternoon. I think I was able to wrap everything enough to ensure a safe journey to each of you. I think that Logicaly's and Rainbowchick's work is the most likely to break out of everyone's and, if that happens, please let me know. I opted to keep the extras so that, if that happens, you can pm me and I'll get another one out to you.

The package to hippie hasn't gone out yet as I still need to get some info from her but everyone else that sent something should have their goodies in the next 3-4 business days.

The packages went out yesterday afternoon.

I can't wait!!! Thank you for all your efforts with this. :flowers:
