Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
11/8: bonding
I received a thank-you note (sent through the post, old school) from my sister today. She was thanking me for letting her know what glues I like best for use in various art projects. My familiarity with glue has been gained through lots of trial and error, and yet it is a topic so unlikely to arise that it was a delight to have her to ask about it and for me to have something to say.
Love this! For my collages, I prefer the silly old Elmer's glue stick for kids, the one that is purple and dries clear. I tried several other more "professional" ones and they just didn't work for me. :) Would love to hear your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteHi, Sandy--I like to use glue sticks, too; I usually get ones that say they're good to use with photos since that kind lets me rub away any excess with its leaving a mark; I'll have to try the Elmer's stick sometime. For other kinds of projects I use Jade book glue or Herma Dotto Repositionable Adhesive (which is fun to apply & doesn't buckle/warp paper). Some people have lots of shoes--I have lots of glues! ; )
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! You've opened up a whole new world for me. :)
