Nancy’s Notes : Protest Kits and Stamps

In craftbombing, Etsy, Zazzle on December 7, 2011 at 3:08 pm

What fun!  Today Corrine and I created another stamp on Zazzle.  The last one was Corrine’s little black button bird.  He is a black bird with attitude on a deep red background. She had made that image for a Christmas card a couple of years ago. I love it so much that I  keep it out all year.  That bird makes me happy.

Today, in honor of the newly reopened Antioch, (and my son Brendon’s first year as an Antioch student,) we made a second postage stamp out of a drawing that I did.  It’s the Main Building on Antioch Campus in the snow. ( It was a really cold and crunchy, feet crashing through piles of snow kind of day when I went out to get that image.) The stamp looks wonderful and what a hoot to have an official postage stamp!  Please pass on the info about it to any Antioch alum who might like to give a shout out for the reopened Antioch.

We also managed to put 2 more Mini Protest Kits on Etsy.  TWO!  That is a record for us.  In between each kit we went and helped Corrine’s daughter Claire put up her joyful show at the Sunrise Café.  I fell in love with a beautiful, serene painting of a mother and child.  It gives the feeling of medieval art, lots of golden highlights and 2 gentle, grace-filled faces.  This one you have got to see, it’s gorgeous.

So back to today, hmm what did we put on Etsy?  Oh yeah, 2 Yarnbombing kits, one Peace Poppy with a peace tag and a knitted Protest Poo.  At our Hairy Art Palace shop on Etsy, we have pictures of the way the kit looks when you get it, all the parts of the kit laid out and a photograph of what the yarnbomb will look like when you are done.  And each kit contains 2 Jafagirl Yarnbombing postcards as a gift from us to you.

That’s 3 kits now available on Etsy.  Only 4 more to go!  One which will be  a Roach Rage Kit (three rubber roaches, and supplies to decorate them, a tag, etc)

It’s amazing what you can do with Rubber Roaches :)

They seem to delight children and “some” adults alike.
