Well, I have baking loaves of bread a lot lately. I have been trying to get my boules and batards just right. It's so tricky! Today I am try a whole wheat and rye bread with IPA beer as the hydration. Kind of excited!
The bread was super yummy! I would have taken a picture, but we ate it all! It was pretty hearty, even rustic. The IPA beer was just a hint, not too over powering! Those rum soaked raisins wound amazing!!! I would call that drunkpo for sure!
Well, there's a small Potpo group hiding midst the Drunkpo group, so maybe you'll like that instead! I would definately have the whiskey-soaked raisins, it brings a whole new idea to soaking your seeds, nuts, and dried fruit before you eat them! Har, har, har. I'll do some scanner bread art for you with my next loaf.
The stamp I made for Stephanie was one I made for myself. . . just change the name, an easy fix. Yes, I could make a stamp but you need to be more specific about what you want. Please email me a rough sketch and we can go from there. BF
Actual size 1.5 inches. It took 30 min to do the layout. . . if there are any changes, speak up now. I really don't know what to charge you. What do you think??? BF
I wouldn't fit into the everything Trashpo group. I don't use found objects, my mail is not
environmentally responsible (I use a plastic laminate on a lot of pieces, and everything is printed on an inkjet or laser printer). I have a graphic arts background. I wouldn't have a clue how to make a collage. We all have our own style. Maybe one day I'll try a collage BF
You mailed more then we had decided upon. You have forced to send something extra. I won't be able to make them until later this week. The extra stamps will be unmounted. BF
I don't think they have Cabbage Patch dolls here in France -- although Ithey do, or did; in the UK -- but I don't really know as it's a long time since I've gone shopping for a doll anywhere (about28 years in fact!)
I finished your stamps. . . the "found Object" is mounted with handle. Registered Mail Artist and newspaper boy will be on a padded backing, just peel and mount on piece of wood or whatever. I'll go to the post office on Tuesday. I won't cash your check until then. BF
Yes, I'm very lucky this time. But it happens very rarely. Especially if mail is coming from Russia or Australia. But from Latvia mail never goes fast. And very often get lost
I only mounted one of your stamps, the two are on a padded backing, just peel and put on a block of wood. I hope you have someone to cut some moulding for you. BF
Diane, glad you enjoyed my cushion, very nice definition :)) Yes the list is a list of travels, it's probably my first authentic list, not much trash on the streets in Finland, or I'm just blind!? "Suomi" means Finland in Finnish, I think I heard "half mile away" in a song and then wrote it down to you, MA more or less shortens the distance between our worlds :)
Oh, I am glad you liked it! I have been making stuff again and I am slowly catching up with blogging. I saw you published a book with vispo, but I did not find peace yet to study it properly! Nice!
Oh Diane your inspiration and then that idea has engaged me day and night ever since. I have just made my first plastic trash book to be mailed to a lucky recipient. I'm sure when I look back at your trash quilt I will wince at its naivete.

You are very welcome!! :-)
