Personal printed magnets

With tidying up the house i came across a pack of magnet sheets that i had never used and sort of forgot about.
So with a couple of minutes to spare it was time to try them out.
They are easy to use, just put them in the papertray of the printer and print whatever you want on them. And then you cut out the desired size/shape. I used my cutting board and exacto knife, but i guess you can use normal scissors for this too.

Of course i chose to print an original Ismoyo image for my trial runs. And i printed a vintage image that connects with my Indonesian roots. It's an old advertisement for an Indonesian recipe book. Another personal connection with the image is that is was published by "De Bijenkorf" (beehive) which is a large department store where i, as a young girl had my first official job.

Very Cool! Good Idea. Hey Issey, haven't dropped in in a while and thought I would just say Happy 2007. Lovely to see what you are up to.
Have a good one!

Hehee..another one who calls you Issey (aka Issey Miyake). I'd love to experiment with magnetic sheets, sounds simple to use and lots of fun. That vintage print is cool!
