Jon foster's Comments

^_^...

Thank you Jon! Larger pieces sounds interesting,  A4 size could work for me, but it might take a while ... :)

Hi, that's funny! Actually, I did not want to damage it, so I didn't try before I asked - luckily!

Re the 1961 cancellation mark on your collage: fortuitous: it was the year of my birth ;)

Thanks again! And expect a reply w/ in the next few weeks...

Hi Jon! Thanks for your latest card: weird and wonderful as usual. I'll be mailing you something back in the next few days; hope you are well. Regards, Val

Thank you for the wonderful card!  I really like your collages...

Your Big piece arrived today safe and sound and I love it all the tape transfers and the overlay of the map off the states.

This project is fun would you like to do another?

re: your mail received: Ah, I just realized it probably one piece - a card [not an envelope]?  lmk if you can - Thanks!

I keep reading about this infamous stamp... Anyone have a picture of it to post?

Thanks in advance if...

Hi Jon,

A beautiful envelope came from you today - thank you so much! However, it's carefully taped on all the edges, and I'm afraid to open it - I don't want to damage it! Any advice?

Hi Jon, 'Glad the "blue" arrived ok...there is another "just blue" on the way too.

You can order that IUOMA stamp, with or without a wood base from the Sticker Dude (member here). He sells them for about $8-10, I think still.

Extra-beautiful taped piece from you arrived, Jon--it's a WOW. Thank you very much from one of your biggest fans.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful tape transfer came in today's mail! Thank you so much, Jon! there are a few things in the mail for you from Greece...coming soon!

I look forward to receiving your mail!! Thanks for letting me know it got there safe!!

If the piece is an odd size for a laminating envelope, I use Mod Podge sealant/adhesive over the whole thing after I've used the roll-on adhesive. Although that can, in some cases, smear any ink or paint you've added (I like the effect personally).

I used Tombo roll on adhesive to arrange the collage 'bits', then I run the card through a Scotch TL901 laminating machine a few times; just to make sure there are as few bubbles as possible. The laminating machine was less than $30 at Wal-Mart, kinda pricey, but it keeps the collages intact; & protects anything with watercolors/ink from getting wet.

A JON FOSTER in my Post Box!!! I think the sky is going to go implode.. :-)) - many thanks :-) X

Hahaha, actually no. :) I actually got the tape on etsy. I'll look for a link to send and put it in you inbox!
