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."

Love the Trashpo Holiday Card and the little Snooky Trashpo Ornament...however I may use that as a book mark *o*

Happy New Year!!

Comment by Amy Irwen on December 31, 2011 at 3:09am: Received from Katerina Nikoltsou.Greece..

A great little Happy Holiday's card with a recycled goodie bag...

What a surprise....Thank you Katerina *!*

Comment by Amy Irwen on December 31, 2011 at 2:52am: Received this wonderful little trashpo booklet from Diane Keys just before the Holiday's....every page is a delight, from the stitching that holds it all together, the felt hidden in between layers of paper, a fortune that usually shows up in cookies but found it's way into the book, to the cheerful greeting at the end...

Also, Diane passed along some 2nd hand trash for me to use in my next booklet....awesome!

Thank you Diane!!! Happy New Year... *!*

Comment by Amy Irwen on December 31, 2011 at 1:52am: Genevieve...love the color and spirit of your trash book to Thom...and you used my all time favorite thing to use---plastic mesh!!

Comment by DKeys on December 30, 2011 at 10:36pm: Wow! Excellent Trashbook from Genevieve! And i received a fabulous trashpo envelope from you today Thom. Hope your limbs are intact after making that amazing Gotij cheese realistic carved stamp. The crown really made my day-and loved everything else too thank you!!

Happy new Year's you guys

Thank you, Geneviève! This was a lot of effort, I could tell... I hope you had as much fun creating it as I did looking through all your colorful details! I loved seeing examples of your stamp carving, too. Brava!
