I recycle packing stuff too, we may have the same bunch of bubble wrap passing around blogland! I use walmart sacks too and sometimes when I am sending a stuffie of soft doll I know won't break I send them in a used cracker box wrapped in something. Thanks for getting us to think about it!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222973139176415369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572273546835628077.post-76219446977183655772008-06-04T19:49:00.000-04:002008-06-04T19:49:00.000-04:00Oh honey I just love your skelly!!! How fun! Ok,...Oh honey I just love your skelly!!! How fun! Ok, so I too am very green conscience with my art. It makes me feel so good about it. Here are a few things..<BR/><BR/>I use paperclay because it is made from volcanic ash. 100% natural no chemicals like polymer.<BR/><BR/>I save all jelly jars and cans and use them as drink glasses if large enough or containers to hold my art goodies. <BR/>Along with reusing packing materials (I NEVER buy new)<BR/>I break down the used Priority mail boxes I get or use new ones if in a pinch from the P.O. for my work surface to paint and sculpt on. (Newspaper is too messy for me) They will last weeks b/c I flip them over and then turn them on the inside to have a new clean surface.<BR/><BR/>I unplug all of my art tools when done b/c even when off they still pull energy when plugged in.<BR/><BR/>When I make my paper mache crosses I use empty wine, olive bottles for my base. I have even used a Heinz ketchup bottle one time and it came out great, I think. In fact all of my crosses are made from found or recycled objects. Here's a peek~<BR/><BR/>http://www.flickr.com/photos/ambitionsdesign/sets/72157603739739566/<BR/><BR/>That's enough for now...;)~dani~https://www.blogger.com/profile/17506968055658472429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1572273546835628077.post-27928154877410302572008-06-04T17:52:00.000-04:002008-06-04T17:52:00.000-04:00Wonderful Green studio ideas!
