I got some takeout food the other day in a styrofoam container, instead of throwing it away, I decided to make some printing plates from the foam. I just cut the Styrofoam into large flat pieces and carved into the foam with a ball point pen. Then I rolled acrylic paint over the top and then laid the paper over it and rubbed the back of the paper. I then lifted the print off. I should have added a little dish soap to the paint to help it adhere to the foam, it was fun any way.
great idea! The prints turned out great! Maybe I'll order Chinese take out tonight :)

ReplyDeleteGreat work... very inspiring :]
this is great- I love to brainstorm crafty ideas with everyday things we typically throw away- prolly cause there's no stress of messing it up! really looking forward to talking you workshop at Artfest in a few weeks! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are SO COOL! I've got to order too much food tonight so that I can get a box!
