Women's Work

Gingersnap Creations continues its World of Work month with this week's Spicy Supply Challenge: Office Supplies.  The Gingers were very creative this week as they incorporated so many supplies into their art.  Please do pay them a visit:  GC94.   

I chose to make a bookmark for my planner, using an oversized paper clip and some G45 papers.  The final effect includes a couple of scallop punches, lots of pop dotted layers, and some raised dots made with a black glaze pen.

What office supply can you transform into some incredible art?  You have a generous amount of time to post your project to GC94.  Artwork is due April 10.  You may be the next home page artist or Ginger Gem at Gingersnap Creations!

Domestic Goddess took on a new meaning when American women stepped up (and out of their homes) to work in war related jobs in the factories, shipyards, and munitions plants during the 1940's as their men went to war. The evolution of Rosie the Riveter is a fascinating story in its own right.  She continues to be a symbol for the working woman.  I was pleased to see that Graphic45 would include her in their Domestic Goddess paper collection.
