Altered Photo Postcard

This is from "Wide Open" by Randi Feurerhelm-Watts:

1. Fill a large spray bottle about 1/4 full with bleach.
2. Fill the rest of the bottle with water.
3. Fill a shallow pan with same ratio of bleach & water solution.
4. Fill a second shallow pan with water.

• Chose a photograph that you don't mind losing.
• Using a fine permanent marker, express yourself all over the photo just as you would on a journaling page.
• Cover any parts of the photo that you want to keep in their original form with cut pieces of plain paper. Just lay them over the desired areas.
• Very lightly spritz a small amount of the bleach mixture onto the photo and then very quickly dip just a part of the photo into the bleach water pan.
• Just as quickly, immerse the whole photo in the water pan and leave it there until you are satisfied with the look.
• Remove the photo and pat it dry with a piece of lintless material (cotton, muslin).
• Add more text/images if you wish using rubber stamps, markers, etc.
• Add a backing to make it into a postcard.
• On the back write "Altered X" (whatever the photo subject is, e.g., Altered Bridge, Altered Woman). Or you may incorporate the title into the front image if you prefer.
