Recycled water bottles
Yes I'm kind of on this recycling kick. Of course that is not a bad thing. My work is giving out water bottle this week to people that come in. Alot of empty bottles are ending up in the garbage and I thought, what a waste. So I took some home and thought what can I make out of these. Well here is my first attempt at flower. I used oil paints to color the pedals, which really took very little paint to coat. I wanted retain some of the clear transparancy so I didn't want to completely cover the plastic in paint.
Update: So I figured out today that oil paint is not the best type to use on the plastic. I goes on good but takes forever to dry. Still wet in the morning. I tried paint that is used on ceramic and glass. It tried really quick for me. I'm also going to try using some alcohol inks. I saw it used by someone else but not sure how fast it will dry.
