I’ve been working hard on packaging up one of my most popular craft show items, the paper potluck! It’s a big scrap pack of assorted papers, color coordinated by me (most paper scrap packs are just a big handful of paper put in a bag, but I’m a little too crazy/fastidious for that) that I sell for $8 – all you cardmakers, collage artists and scrapbookers out there – rejoice!
this one is for sale on my etsy page, but you can also buy it directly from me
As a blog special, I’m going to list a picture of all the ones I have so far, and if you’d like me to save one or two for you before my first fair on November 19th, call dibs on it by leaving a comment* or sending me an email (Ruth at Ruth Bleakley no space dot com – tricky wording to fool spam robots!) Then I can send you a paypal invoice, or you can send me a check or whatever, I just know they’ll all sell out so I’m not bothering to list them on etsy. 
*hey a note about comments – if you have a blog, check that box that says “comment luv” and you’ll be able to automatically post a link to your latest blog post – neat! and it lets me see what you’re up to!
What a fun idea! I love it. I found you today via your tutorial on Poppytalk… I’m a printmaking artist so I have lots of lino block and tools galore but I love the simplicity of reusing styrofoam meat plates. It would work great for the classroom (I teach middle school and have a tiny budget). Anyway, thanks for the idea!
Thanks Pheobe! Yes, I also do/have done linocutting, so I had the tools as well, but sometimes linocuts just take so long, and you want some instant printmaking gratification! I’m happy to share my tip about the styrofoam trays, and I think it would be awesome for middle schoolers (and less likely to end up with a visit to the nurse’s office lol)
