Kitchen postcard swap - postmark by August 11

Here's your challenge:
Find something in your kitchen and use it to make a post-card sized piece of art.
(and using food packaging in a collage doesn't count this time)

There are lots of ways you could interpret this.
Here are just a few ideas:
  • use a fruit or vegetable as a stamp
  •  use a kitchen tool to apply paint
  • make a gelatin block for gelatin prints
  • use a food ingredient in a creative way
  • involve one of your appliances (shrink art anyone?)

You can use plenty of non-kitchen items as well, as long as something from the kitchen is used in your process or imagery.

SWAP DETAILS:
  •  Create a postcard, no larger than 4"x6"
  • Write a message on the back explaining how you used a kitchen item to create your postcard
  • include your name and contact information (address and/or email and/or blog) so that you partner can thank you or find out more about you.
  • leave the address section blank
  • Stick in in an envelope with:
    • a stamp (don't adhere to the postcard in case I need to send yours to someone out of the country)
    •  a mailing label with your name and address on it (I will stick it on the card I mail back to you.  This keeps me from having to decipher handwriting on the envelope you send me, and saves me time when swapping everything and mailing it back out) 
  •  mail it to me no later than August 11th:
             Karen Isaacson
             PO Box 532
             Shrewsbury, MA 01545
             United States

  • Feel free to make more than one ( you can send them to me in the same envelope).  You'll get back the number of postcards you create.  Make sure to include a mailing label and stamp for each post card you create.
  • If you live outside the US, don't include stamps, but send me $1 for postage via paypal.  email: iamrushmore@gmail.com
  • I will post your work to the blog when I receive it.  If you would like your image linked to your blog, or flickr account, or facebook page, or etsy shop (or whatever) just send me a note telling me how you want it linked.  (this is a great way to meet other artists and make lots of new friends)
