on 10/12/2007 Art is a great way to exercise creative recycling! Great article!
on 10/3/2007 Thank you so much for pointing this out! I've discussed this in various art groups I circulate through, but no one could point me toward a specific product. I've made note of it now!
on 10/3/2007 Be sure to warn the buyer on ATC or ACEO or OSWOA artwork that has been created with non-archival materials like brown paper bags, children's art supplies or recycled cardboard. Because collectors keep these in albums, lightfastness may not be as big a problem as when the art is displayed framed. There is also a spray you can get at Dick Blick called "Make It Acid Free" that can be used to render recycled or homemade papers Ph Neutral, which will make them last a lot better in collections. When using non lightfast and non acid free materials, be sure to make a digital record of the piece and burn it to CD. If it's not intended as permanent, it's not a big deal, but when selling art I use archival materials.
