I feel like I've been around the world, but in three, not 80 days, but more on those adventures another day. So this entry seemed perfect for Try it on Tuesday's Transport theme for this fortnight.
I was inspired by Chrissie's TioT entry where she used copies of postage stamps. Mine are not as pristine as hers, because mine have all been through the USPS and have those horrible cancellation marks on them. But I used them anyway.
I went through all my postage stamps and found a few that I could use for Planes and Trains. 
The next group was not as easy to classify, but since they all had wheels, I thought they were great examples of various forms of transportation.
Finally, the automobiles are represented. As I was deconstructing the slides, I found one that had a girl with an automobile in the background, so I used it, too.One final look, where I used paint, pan pastels, and chalk to color the deconstructed slide mounts. I backed the postage stamps with failed gelli paper, then added the individual postage stamps of various denominations.I'll try to catch up with everyone tomorrow, but for now, be aware I'm very grateful for your continued support of my art and your visits. And please don't forget to visit, and join me if you like, at Try it on Tuesday where you'll find wonderful mixed media inspiration on transport.
Beautiful page. I always like real stamps with cancellation marks, it shows they have really traveled. You have used a nice selection. Thanks for joining us at TIOT, hugs, Valerie

ReplyDeleteFun re-use of stamps. Makes me think of the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles with John Candy and Steve Martin. I have a nice collection of old stamps, got to get them in some collage pieces too. xox
ReplyDeleteThese are great! And I think the cancellation marks only add to the charm!
ReplyDeleteI like the cancelation marks on the stamps, show that they are REAL stamps. Clever idea to use slid mounts for them.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well.
Fun page! That's a funny movie too!
ReplyDeleteIf you are still looking for planes, trains and automobiles, I'll look through the old stamps blogger Linda sent me. Pages and pages. All kinds. It's a great idea for a them!

This is a great page for many reasons. Travel pages in general are pleasing to me and I also love stamps as they are just mini works of art. Lovely work as always. x
ReplyDeleteWell..OK...if it has postage stamps on it, you know I am going to like it .... and I do. Plus I agree with some of the other commenters...I think the cancellations add to the charm. Very fun!

Nice page Elizabeth. I'm a sucker for stamps - especially with cancellation marks! Great that you were able to find them to match your theme. Please don't tell me they are all sorted by subject! :)
ReplyDeleteI just noticed the slide you used...it was one I sent to you. I know this because the woman is/was my dad's ex wife. HA!
ReplyDeleteLove your transportation piece. Sounds like you have had quiet a lot going on. I am dragging in the hotel this morning and thought I might catch up a bit before we head out today. Hope your 3 days around the world were fun and exciting and not terrible! Hugs and smiles.
ReplyDeleteTerrific pages you've created with these stamps...love your take on the challenge!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a good idea using postage stamps.
