I like when I have a subject to work about, because I think the addressee will appreciate more my work. <br><br>I normally use diluted vinavil to paste AND as fixative final varnish. <br>I had torn problems just once, with one of my first works, when I thought the wallpaper glue was a good glue. Actually, It was not for collages!<br>However, when I need to paint (the few times I have the time!), I use a hairspray as fixative varnis.Dr. Brignonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921854655899822980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540266278914019686.post-6861398951890112572009-09-28T05:42:18.995-07:002009-09-28T05:42:18.995-07:00@Dr.Brignone- What a coincidence.

The autumn colors are delicious. :D<br /><br />The partridges are cut out from photos I downloaded from the internet and pasted onto the original card. But I was afraid the collage would get torn off in the post so I copied it onto another card. What do you use on your cards to protect them from tearing?dosankodebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357411708254011194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540266278914019686.post-32011057764964900322009-09-28T05:33:15.137-07:002009-09-28T05:33:15.137-07:00Deborah - thank you VERY much for your Partridges ...Deborah - thank you VERY much for your <i>Partridges on a pear</i>!

I like the 3-D effect I get when I combine etegami with cut-out photos, but I'll need to experiment a lot more before I feel completely comfortable with this hybrid style.dosankodebbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04357411708254011194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3540266278914019686.post-54444371862543814392009-09-21T00:11:18.607-07:002009-09-21T00:11:18.607-07:00I like very much your hybrid mailart greeting card...I like very much your hybrid mailart greeting cards! <br />I personally use normally the collage-style mail art because is faster: when I have 5 minutes free at the office, I cut and paste some paper :)Dr. Brignonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01921854655899822980noreply@blogger.com
