You Never Know...

when you're going to find something to turn into art. We were cleaning out the back room and I came across a whole bag of tiny little coffee filters; I think for a percolator. They are only 3 inches in diameter. I hit them with some alcohol ink and folded and cut and came up with a flower, leaves and butterflies.

Vacation is very good for the mojo...very clever!

[troublesmom]

Wonderful art for sure.

[Jenni Benni]

Very cool. I love the flower.

[bethrich]

Yup, that flower is my favorite, too. What a great way to repurpose those!

[Paula]

Nice!

Awesome Idea!!! Rachelle, I used to make those little yo yos (gathered circles) out of coffee filters. I think I saw it on Carol Duvall. The colors were never vivid enough for me so I think I am going to pull them out and re ink them with AI's! Thanks for the tip!!

[pamcook]

So, I need to pull that stack of filters out of the recycle box?

What a great idea Rachelle! Thanks for the photos.

I love how you are finding fun in the most mundane of chores. Way to go Rachelle!

[azemigh]

thank you all! And.....

would anyone like some of these? I have 280 of them. I could certainly slip 10 or 20 in the next thing I send out in a swap.

very resourseful! I just was reading the new Take Ten and they have an upcoming challenge on using recycled items, you should submit!

[clamscrapper]

That's using your imagination. Great idea, thanks.

[Monica]

Beautiful! I love that you're recycling to create these.
