Recycled Cats

I have been recycling again this week. Toilet roll holders, cardboard packaging, old book pages and the insides of envelopes.  There is something really liberating about painting on recycled material, perhaps it's because it does not cost anything other than time, and you lose nothing if it doesn't work out and you want to throw it away.  I also find that these are really quick to do once the card is ready.

After my recycled owls I have come up with my recycled cats.






I think that I can feel some recycled dogs coming up!  This link is for the Show and Tell week on Artists in Blogland, check out what everyone has been doing.

Good weekend to everyone!

    They are brilliant! And such smart ways to use up stuff you'd otherwise through away. :)

    These look like really fun to do! I like the effect of using book pages and having the words come through the paint! Patsy from

    Awwwww, your cats are adorable Linda. There is something very 'freeing' working on a surface that didn't cost you an are and a leg..... As well as satisfying, working on something you made. I look forward to your recycled dogs....... Have you thought of creating recycled butterfly's?
    Anyway, I hope you are well and are happily creating.
    Hugs,

    Sort of like 'repurposing' old clothes. Love it. They are so adorable. Blessings, Janet PPF
