Harry's slides arrived the other day. I'm using his slide cover sheet as my banner for this year's Summer arty slides. Love the lettering! I have never exchanged anything with Harry before and I see from his profile that he considers himself mainly a photographer. I love the crisp feel of Harry's slides, the way he uses text and design!

This slide has eyebrows on the brain. When I took 35 mm SLR photos and did all that stuff with the baths of chemicals we filed our negative carriers so there'd be a wonderful black lines around each photo, eyebrows of sorts - proof that you had composed with intent. I guess slides can have eyebrows too. Love the way Harry's car goes downhill while his text goes uphill too. Thank you Harry.

Not surprisingly, many of the members of the arty slide group turned outdoors to get inspiration for our summer slides. Sarah seems to have captured the good and the bad of summer with her slides and envelope... flowers, decorative watering cans, snakes and lip balm! I love the way Sarah asks questions in her arty slides as well as in her mailart. and she's used plenty of one of my favourite colours- CHARTREUSE!
Christine sent me bejeweled and
pressed flower stamps! Anyone who would share her fridge magnets with me is awesome. And yes, blue does give me joy. Love the washi tape and all the sparkly bits too! I flattened Christine's packaging here... she sent her slides in a first class mini parcel box. Love the attention to detail, the bouquets and the April calendar with its tulips. Thank you so much Christine!

My first slides arrived from Stripygoose. I love the way she captured the emergence of summer with her joyful raindrop washi tape and her flower slides. The colours delight me and Stripygoose has made a padded slide holder. On the grey days of early summer, Stripygoose's slides sat on my computer table shelf and gave me hope and reminded me of summer's eventual arrival! Many thanks Stripygoose and Sarah!
Stripygoose and I were thinking alike! I take tons of photos and when I was thinking about the summer arty slides I thought to use some of my closeup flower pictures. I trawled through my hard drive and made stamp-size images that I matched with my fused plastic frames. I made sets for the summer artty slide group and then had such fun pairing them and thinking colour that I sent off another 8 to other friends. all 14 sets are quite bespoke.
And that's the thing about arty slides, and IUOMA in general. All of you wonderful people inspire me and help me take my ideas in new directions! Thank you all.
