my moo cards came – the 100 batch that I paid for, not the 10 that were free.
They are fun- and interesting to look at and think about. They are a long thin shape. Some of the images work really well, some are pretty awful. I think I like partial faces the best. The colors work in some, not in some others. I will use them for tags- they are perfect for that. A bit small for business cards, but maybe okay.
I was having fun, clicking around Sharon’s Saturday blog round-up, and came across this great blog- Woof Nanny. Two postings really caught my interest. This one about making children’s clothing from tablecloths. It is so interesting because I am always trying to use vintage table linens in my work. I also like this post about old children’s books, especially The Make-It-Book. She talks about pouring over it as a kid. I had this same book when I was little, I still have it and like hers, it is held together with old yellow scotch tape. I think it was probably the most used book in our house (by me anyway) until I was about ten. Well, actually after that I started using it for babysitting ideas.
I worked on the swaddled babies today and fixed up what needed fixing. I’ll post them again tomorrow.
I got mine, too (thanks for telling us about them!) and I would agree with you. Great for tags. Some colors and images work better than others. I like that they can all be different.
I have the same Make it Book from childhood, holding together with the same yellowing tape. I also have the companion volume–THE DO IT BOOK.
Real treasures!
Cool. I like the partial faces, too.
Thanks for the Moo cards, Mimi! They’re much smaller than I imagined from your blog pictures, making them all the more precious. It must be fun to have 100 of them to shuffle and fondle. If I had them, I’d put them in sweet little container and draw one out every time I got stuck. Then I’d look for a solution or inspiration within that card. This gives me the idea to make my own Moo cards…
