Sometimes I just have to get my hands messy and play around experimenting . I had gotten these cookie molds out junking and decided I'd make paper pulp and use the molds to form something I could use in other art work.
Take 6-8 plain, cheap paper towels and tear them in small pieces. Put the pieces in a blender or food processor and cover with water, I used about 2 cups. Run until it's mush. Scoop out and pile into molds. press down with your hand over a sink to remove most of the water. Press firmly and evenly with a towel to remove even more water. I then put mine in the oven on the lowest setting until they were dry about 5 hours, or you could put them over a heat vent. Gently use the tip of a knife to remove the image and let dry.
The resulting form is the exact shape of the mold. The results will be revealed later. Hmm what can I make? A valentine, a picture, can I water color, stamp, decoupage or add other embellishments? Check next week. What would you do? Send me ideas I'd love to hear your ideas.
