Welcome to the discussion, Matt. So glad you're enjoying these adventures. All the ideas are having the same effect on me. It's good to see new possibilities.

I’ve got to tell you, I’m really enjoying this series on recycling. My mind is just whirling with possibilities. You have given me the courage to attempt mixed media application to a recent work. (Not something I’ve done with any series effort) I used my acrylic medium as my paste and it worked like a charm -drying as clear as can be.

Marty!<BR/><BR/>Let me put you in touch with my Other Chile and Goth Artist, Darla Nunnery! You know the name. Darla is an administrator with Saint Leo University's Prodigy Project!<BR/><BR/>She'd LOVE donations of any sort! I'm just putting together an article on her when this came up, so the coincidence was meant to be!<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>D

Cath, I don't think I would ever have to buy paper or canvas or other supports for the rest of my life if I didn't choose to. I have an amazing stash that needs to be used up or shared before our move.<BR/><BR/>At some point I plan to find a school that will accept some donations for kids' art classes (which I'm learning is not all that easy! We have to go directly to the art teacher of a given

Martha that flower is just so beautiful - what an incredible thing. I am really finding this whole recycle thread fascinating - and challenging too. It's made me think about how much 'stuff' I have and how all-too-easy it is to accumulate more.

Hello everyone - it's been a busy day today, but I wanted to just tell you all that I'm happy you're being inspired by all these artists and their great ideas.<BR/><BR/>For those who asked, the flower in full bloom is approximately 6" across. That's just my eyeball estimation.<BR/><BR/>Hope you all have a wonderful weekend planned!

I was inspired by Helen's use of older watercolors into new and exciting pieces! I must have 2 dozen I can overhaul! <BR/><BR/>And your cereus is amazing! It looks huge!
