Week 3 of Index-Card-A-Day or ICAD

 

It's Friday and time for ICADs.  I'm joining Nicole for Friday Face-Off and Gillena for Art For Fun Fridays along with Tammy Garcia at Daisy Yellow (Index-Card-A-Day).  It's also Juneteenth, a Federal holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States.

Day 13: Dance.  Background is encyclopedia.  Red, blue, and green dry erase colors.  Postage stamp from Christmas 2000.  Names in purple Micron pen.
 
Day 14: Fancy.  Background is Russian text.  Blue dry erase color.  International (French) postage stamp.  Names in blue felt tip pen.
 
Day 15: Map.  Background is crossword. Blue and green dry erase colors.  Postage stamp is 150th anniversary of Lewis and Clark expedition.  Names in green felt tip pen. 
 
Day 16: Drive.  Background is Spanish text.  Blue and brown dry erase colors.  Postage stamp is Electric 1917 Automobile.  Names in blue felt tip pen.
 
Day 17: Fly.  Background is encyclopedia.  Blue and green dry erase colors.  Postage stamp is William T. Piper, aviation pioneer.  The famous Piper Cub plane is shown in the stamp.  Names computer generated.
 
Day 18: Jazz.  Background is encyclopedia.  Red and blue dry erase colors.  Postage stamp is a jukebox on a presorted first class stamp.  Names in red felt tip pen.
 
 Day 19: Justify.  Background is sheet music.  Blue and green dry erase colors.  Postage stamp is Thomas Jefferson.  I would like Jefferson to justify how he could be the primary author of such an eloquent document as the Declaration of Independence and still hold slaves including one, Sally Hemings, with whom he more than likely had sexual relations and fathered her child, Eston Hemings.  Our names in blue felt tip marker.
 
 
  I'm creating ICADs but am not on the sites where Tammy posts.  Therefore, this is the only place you will find Bleubeard's and my ICADs.  

Today I'm also joining Nicole at Friday Face OFF, and Gillena at Art For Fun Friday.
 

Friday Face OFF   

Thanks for visiting today.  Bleubeard and I hope to see you at these art blogs, too.  We are delighted you dropped by.
 
Friday Smiles will be posted this afternoon.

  2. Fancy ones, wish I could dance, Elizabeth.
    Sadly with my job-situation still open I don´t feel arty...

  3. ...Elizabeth, you don't have to justify having a fancy dance to the jazz music!!!

  4. You gave me. A great idea . I need to find some crosswords to use on some of my pages. Perhaps I can find some that have been worked on, or even finished.
    Thanks

  5. Your ICAD's are fabulous once again. I love your use of color and line. I got some index cards, and started working on one yesterday. However don't think I could find the time to do one a day. Happy FFO!

  6. Your ICADs are always so creative and full of interesting details. I love how you mix old texts, stamps, and colors to tell a story on each card. The “Justify” piece really makes you stop and think too.

  9. These are just brilliant! I was reading some of the news print and that what you choose for these adds to how clever you are with your art. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a lovely weekend.

  10. You're really keeping with this challenge and the result is great. Thank you for telling me about ICADs - I don't think I will jump on that wagon since I simply lack the time and there are so many other things I still want to do. But I enjoy seeing yours and am always looking for the stamp on the index card.

  11. Lovely ICADs! Love them all. Wonderful post and I will try to post on Tuesday. It's been a busy month. Birthdays and my daughter's graduation. I hope you are well Elizabeth. Lost of hugs and positivity your way!

  12. With the World Cup going on, your ICADs remind me of international flags.

Your thoughts are very important to Bleubeard and me. I appreciate it when you care enough to stop by and even more when you leave a short message letting me know you were here.
