Vintage 1970s Artex craft inspiration in one 4-magazine lot. These VOA – The Voice of Artex booklets were the in-house magazine for Artex Hobby Products, showcasing liquid embroidery, sand & salt painting, non-woven projects, decorative bottle and candle ideas, and more.

You’ll receive four complete issues from 1971–1972, each packed with step-by-step project write-ups, photos, and Artex promotional content. Topics inside include cake toppers, graduation and wedding gifts, rustic wall accessories, mosaics with Artex, holiday candle holders, and other retro home-decor crafts.

Overall the magazines are in good vintage condition with typical age wear: light cover rubbing, minor corner/edge wear, and some small marks; one front cover has handwriting in pen. Interiors are legible, intact, and nicely preserved with no known missing pages. These are perfect for collectors of vintage craft magazines, pattern researchers, or mixed-media artists looking for authentic 70s graphics and project ideas.

Ships bagged and boarded in a sturdy mailer to help protect the magazines in transit.
