"Flower Tic Tac Toe" 10" X 12" © mayah 2014
These remind me of postage stamps--my dad was an avid stamp collector and I used to collect stamps when I was a kid. Each "flower stamp" is approx. 2" X 2" The flower photos came from two junk mail advertising brochures from a local dentist office, glued onto a junk mail envelope (yellow background) and art paper (green--I just love this color and use it a lot!), then hand embroidered, and glued onto reused cardboard backing. They are coated with non-VOC acrylic glaze. Used two-sided tape to adhere them onto the recycled bubble wrap taped onto blue art paper. The frame is recycled too--from Goodwill Industries. I buy a lot of frames there, as they are inexpensive and I like the idea of repurposing the frames. Each "flower stamp" has a "mate"--one done with yellow background and one with green background, except for the middle flower stamp, whose "mate" is one of the Eco MaGs already posted here: "Stitched EcoMaGs" http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=2143075
