Quote from DKult Member Meeah Williams

"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 19, 2012 at 2:16am: Sounds good Steph! [is it ok if I call you that, or do you prefer your full name?]

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on May 19, 2012 at 2:11am: Glad you did, KDJ. Hats off to Andrea Jay.

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 19, 2012 at 2:00am: Thanks DV. Yes, your comment does make sense od course. some of the discussions here of faux trashpo, as it were, suggested the possibility though... nonetheless, this is a gloriously hedonistic group so i suppose my question was a tad absurd...%_^

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 19, 2012 at 1:46am: cradboard. Good one Mink Rancher.

Comment by De Villo Sloan on May 19, 2012 at 1:45am: OMG, I feel so terrible about this 100% Trashpo thing! As far as I know, it's really up to you how conscientious you want to be about recycling. We can see what DK rules on it, but Lord, don't want anyone to get the impression this is some sort of fascism. And there are no rules.

For me, sometimes I'll use trash cradboard for backing & sometimes good paper stock.

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 19, 2012 at 1:02am: ?: I just finished a piece that's all trash except for one element and the cardstock it's on [I NEEDED it for colour! ;)] Is it Trashpo, or must it be 100% pure trash?

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 18, 2012 at 9:43pm: BTW, do you print an image? I'm a digital/web artist, so I cld put something together maybe/if needed...?

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 18, 2012 at 9:41pm: I wonder if there could be a tiny image of some DK creation maybe? It could always just be text, on a Traspo background [of DK creation]...?

Comment by Claire (aka Cleo) on May 18, 2012 at 9:39pm: Ohh, I would LOVE a "Trashpo" button. And there's already quite a bit of D-Kult memorabilia so this wld be nice imo! ;)

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on May 18, 2012 at 9:35pm: KDJ, there is LAUGHING in Maine. "Sorry for blinding you with science"! You know, that line could come in handy about 37 times a day. I'm going to say it to my husband tonight. I'll find a way.

As for the big tooth, I had no idea what the hell it is, even after prolonged study. Now that you've clued us in, you should get a medal for cleverness, though.
