GOTIJ from Dean Marks.France.01.06.12

[Amy Irwen]

A very unexpected surprise showed up in my mailbox today....Dean, I can not keep up with you!  haha...I'm like 3 behind..Love your minimalist approach.. love the lone barcode on the gold...

I promise I have already begun work on a surprise coming your way...  *o*

[Amy Irwen]

I buy mine from the local craft store...Michael's or JoAnns...they also sale it at Target and Walmart...

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

So Amy, please feel free to change the title name of this one to; "The thing I really wanted to get for Christmas".  Which was actually a pair of Bessey VarioClippix XV5-170 to use for Mail Art.  I have been told that the salesman at the store thought it looked like something they use in hospitals for delivering babies!!!!  He suggested to the person buying this for me to look in a hospital supply store!

Where does one find E6000 ( sounds like sodium nitrate to me ;-)

And we have countdown... 19 days to go:

[DKeys]

that's hilarious! yes, E6000 is the best glue I've ever found!

[prettylily]

Dean, you scamp!!!   Actually, I think the card is hilarious but I haven't been posting or blogging anything, the past few weeks.  I fell off of the mailart wagon during the holidays and haven't caught up yet.  Will be back in action soon though.

 

Amy, your card may be missing a lot of barcodes. however I happen to like it when the PO takes a bite, I think that adds extra appeal.  I prefer naked mail - for that very reason.  I think the one Dean sent you looks great! 

 

 

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Sorry, it was Diane Keys who told PrettyLily and myself about E6000.  I sent PrettyLily this card entitled, “I don’t’ come cheap” .  I don't think PrettyLily blogged it.  Would you blame her?

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Yes, Alicia Starr already told me about E6000.  I sent her this, but I don't think she ever blogged it.  Don't blame her!

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Here is the original:  They are the barcodes from all of my Christmas gifts.

[Amy Irwen]

Oh my! Kinda like the "lone gunman"..
I have found that regular glue doesn't really bond well to the slick bag paper.
I use a bonding glue called "E6000". Works super for that lasting hold. It is for jewlery but works on everything!

[Dean aka Artist in Seine]

Hi, Yes, I like the lone barcode as well, but there were 9 when I mailed it.  I do not seem to have luck when I mail things from the UK.  I'll send you a photo of the original later.  At least you got some of it.  Mailed from London.
