Cards to scare, shock and stun

Handmaking Birthday and Christmas cards has always seemed fairly natural to me and seemed a good way to creatively relieve the stress of a science based day job. Throughout my card making stints I have always tried to stick to a theme of the month or year when approaching peoples birthdays and tend to stick to concepts that couldn't be conveyed in notable purchased materials (probably because it would end in the proprietors being arrested.) Throughout my time I have made many quite a few years worth of cards but many I do not have a record of (at least some i will try to hunt down as apparently friends still have them). Many of the cards reflect events that were occurring within my friends lives and might not make sense to an outside audience and where possible will have a bit of back story.

Notable cards in my time have been paper craft daffodil scenes, a dystopian future blank thought crime situation card, mathematical puzzles, fuzzy sheep, minimalist and cubist, a Scottish haggis, another fuzzy sheep and probably my favorite convincing a friend he had a long lost Uncle in a far off island.

... some of these are probably lost forever but others I will ask around and try to salvage where possible. Newly made cards and themes will also be shown.

I will also occasionally drop a review of some electronic/techno/dance/IDM vinyl reviews as either I find them in a second hand store, have the money or feel arsed. Current collection over 200 so should keep me fairly busy.

Card making material piles mostly bought from "the works": (materials re-used where possible)

I also tend to use scrap from magazines, junk mail and old naff postcards of the queen where possible.
Updated sporadically! More cards and details to appear soon!

If you have stumbled across this blog and find the cards funny, would like more information of what was written inside or feel like collaborating on your own card adventure please fell free to drop a line.
Also, if you are a fellow techno vinyl nerd and would like to gass about specifics that no-body else would care for (for example, sweet lilting TB303 lines in Wob glass, what makes InSides so goddamn special and how the hell is it possible for Rei Harakami to be so musically perfect) I will gladly oblige.
