Collage: untitled (Mod Podge experiment)



Until just now I thought Mod Podge was called Modge Podge, you know, like hodge podge. ANYway, it is a sort of crafter's varnish that you might paint over any manner of paper-y art things, like tacky collages. Behold:

More than once have I considered giving a typewriter the mod podge treatment. I think one would look excellent covered in strips of a Chinese newspaper.

Strikethru, she temps me. Not another craft hobby to engage in, NOOOOO!!!

This reminds me of, I think it was 5th grade, when we did decoupage, I found an impressionistic painting reproduced in a magazine, did the burnt edges trick, decoupaged it to a nice piece of dark stained walnut. I was so proud of that piece, until my step mom, she tosses it out a few years later. I should still be in counseling over that.

Boy do I like this piece you've done, Sheryl. Especially the fortune cookie message being delivered by the robot. Cool stuff.

My fortune: I can see a trip to Hobby Lobby in my near future.

Boy, if I had a nickel for every pot of mod(ge) podge that the Genevieve purchased over the years, I would be living in a nickel house and driving a nickel car and wearing a hat made of...felt. Not nickels. It would be too heavy.

Word verif.-"collepse," what your head does under a hat made of nickels.

MPC, I would totally try that. You're just the guy. You may need to talk to Mrs. Speegle though, since you'd need about a gallon of the stuff.

Joe V, sounds like the perfect project for yourself and the Line Writer.

Ted: I like robots almost as much as typewriters. Almost.

"Your ideas will be totally acceptable."
Most mildly awesome fortune ever.
But, really, you wouldn't expect superlatives or sentimentality from a robot, I guess.

I am going to work "mildly awesome" into a conversation.
