The Frugal Gourmet: how to use, re-use, recycle and recondition your ktchen staples...

In my painting, I find myself recycling a myriad of things......
~a champagne cork makes a great, albeit imperfect, stamp.

~Bottle caps of all sizes make great circles.

~Dryer sheets are GREAT! Shredded, they're a great texture to add to a canvas....they make a nice effect when paint is dabbed through one, too!

~A coffee can lid (plastic) can be cut in half, then zig~zag cut to paint interesting designs ...drag them through the paint for fun designs.

~I have a ruined paint brush that I'm going to incorporate in a piece I'm currently painting....fun!
