Extra 10% OFF Select Scrapbooking Brands with Code: NSD24
This item was from a large order. I received everything I ordered. It came quicker than I thought. It was nicely packaged and in the same order as the packing slip. Which made it easy to check.
Loved the quality! I don’t know why I haven’t ordered from you all sooner!
Some of the boys had these guys when I was growing up, in fact they would have huge battles with them in the sand. I was a Lego, Hot Wheels, and Barbie kind of gal. Fifty years later I use a Lego block to stamp textures, love Hot Wheel colors, but the closest I get to Barbie is clipping from the rare Vogue magazine. ANYWAY, these green plastic Army guys are perfect stand-in for all sorts of things in my visual art journals -- comments on events in the news, emotional issues, and my favorite collage practice of big/little surrealism (little Army man vs. much bigger teddy bear rubber stamped image). As for the artwork itself, these guys have almost no detail, just enough shades of green to convey texture, which perfect for suggesting rather than being literal. I've already cut half of this paper up into individual men and stashed them in my die cuts box. My first use was an index card with one of those German tabbed paper roses with a bug on it -- Toot-toot!! Army man saves the day!
It is sooo hard to find papers for boys, young men. These soldiers are the familiar ones my son played with. The paper is aged, even around the edges. The green is soldier green. I need to order more so that I can make pockets and envelopes for other pages in his book.
