90% Recycled

 

Today I am once again joining Erika and her bird theme at Art Journal Journey.

Everything here is recycled except the black ink and the glue.  Even the substrate is recycled from a piece of watercolor paper that was a failure. Detailed images are below.







As most of you who are frequent visitors know, I watermark my images.  However, when I tried to do that last night, my PhotoShop program shut down.  After 3 attempts at restarting, I gave up.  The top stamped birds are Inkadinkadoo.  The first and second bird postage stamps are from Sami in Australia, who many of you know from Monday Murals.  The stamped bird on the left (one I use a lot) is also from Inkadinkadoo.  The stamped bird on the right is Tim Holtz. The last postage stamp was one I received years ago and is from my stash.  All of the backgrounds are from security envelopes from my stash.

Thank you for visiting.  I appreciate you dropping by.  You will also find me over at Art Journal Journey today.  This is Day 10 of 22 leading up to bEARTHday.

I'm guessing the blue backgrounds are from the inside of envelopes? Wow, if I'm right, there is such a variety. And they look good. And I like those colorful stamps. I know nothing about Australian birds, but I like the egret in the US one. I don't remember seeing that stamp before. Thank you for not only recycling but for also joining AJJ my friend. hugs-Erika
