Do you ever feel like a old dried up paint rag, laying on the floor – waiting to be thrown away? Discarded. Finished. Used up?
Sometimes I do feel like that, but not today.
I just wondered, because I needed to share this photo with you guys!
Isn’t this dry paint rag beautiful?
So life can’t be too bad.
That’s what I’m thinking.
oh this IS gorgeous hanna! i can kind of see a face on the right side-in the orange-ish color. thanks for sharing. also, i can’t believe i never saw the facebook link at the bottom on the right! i would have “liked” it a long time ago. i love getting your blog updates in email and now your facebook posts! double the fun and inspiration :)
Thank you Jenny, so glad you’re enjoying new (and old) blog posts and sharing your enthusiasm with me – it just makes my heart sing with you. Thank you for doubling my fun too! :-)
Paint and dye rags, especially if they are paper towel or wet wipes, are great for collaging and making paper-cloth (see Stitch Alchemy by Kelli Perkins).
Thanks Michele, I don’t own that book but I sure know about recycling things. I hearts; that! This paint rag is already in my stash of collage papers! Yay, for pretty papers, right? :-)
I love pretty papers. I think you’d like the book. I’ve made some of the paper-fabric using kitchen towel that I’d mopped up procion dyes with, and then glued it to muslin with a 50/50 mix of PVA glue and water. There are pictures on my Pinterest boards. Drop by and have a look.
Hej. Man kan se ngot vackert i allt om man bara rtt glasgon p sig. Du har den kunskapen och dom rtta glasgonen, var stolt fr det.
Ja, vilken glasgonorm jag r. Och att du r hr och hlsar p, vilken ra! Tack mom! I ♥ you!
Oh, pretty! I have used old clean up rags in my journal. Recently used one to make my most favorite spread … at least for now, lol.
Thanks Melanie, that sounds interesting with the rag inside the journal… I will be sure to use this paper cloth inside my journal (or in a collage) too. Love all those colors!
yes, beautiful! You could wrap that around stretcher blocks or an old canvas and have a new piece of modern art.
Spring is coming……..
Thanks Marcia, I love it when you come visit my blog, though I miss your posts as you know. Feels like you and me are old timers in this world. :-) Take care!
Be proud! You are beautiful and do beautiful things :)
Nmen ett besk p min blog, vilken ra! Thanks a bunch and big hugs to you sweet one!
i love this post. :)
Thank you sweet one. Sometimes the simplest things are the best, right? In times like this I love my camera and that I can document the transient things in the world – and on my studio desk!
Beautiful, indeed–a happy accident, but made by you all the same. Unintentional art. I like it. :]
