Tip: The paste dries fairly quickly but you can speed up the drying process and keep the paper from buckling by drying it with a blow dryer on a low setting.
Now...a look at her finished product!

Ads You'll Never See Again! (Awesome Ephemera)

I was emailed this awesome collection of crazy and sexist ads from the mid-century and all I can think of is using them to make stuff!  Offensive?  Kinda...  Hilarious?  Definitely.  

Enjoy!

GMO Boycott Pocket Guide

Hello readers,

I was recently emailed this article by the Organic Consumers Association, which was a followup to an article that they released that called for Boycotts of "Traitor" brands.

A traitor brand is an organic and natural brand of the parent companies that spent millions to defeat Proposition 37, the California Right to Know GMO labeling initiative.
Brands like R.W. Knudsen, Naked Juice, Odwalla and others want to keep our foods that contain Genetically Modified Organisms from being labeled, thereby preventing consumers from making informed decisions on the foods that they buy and eat.

If you're on board with GMO labeling and want to boycott traitor brands like Honest Tea or Hunts Organic, OCA has provided us with this handy little pocket guide for shoppers to take to the grocery stores with them.
