After watching Christy Tomlinson and Danielle Donaldsons' video last week on My Craft Channel I have been wanting to play around with some paint, inks and coffee filters. Coffee filters, you ask? Yep, that's right. Creative play with coffee filters. I had a ton of them stashed in the back of my pantry just waiting for a good pot of coffee to be made. Instead I decided to repurpose them by covering them in all kinds of inky goodness using Adirondack inks, Liquitex acrylics and Liquitex acrylic inks.Oh what fun I had getting my hands all inky and messy! Grab some stencils, some paints or inks and a few filters and get busy. If you do, send me the link because I'd love to see what you make.
The other cool thing about using filters, as opposed to papers, is that if you don't like the side your working on you can flip them over and see if you like the other side. Their transparency lends itself well to bleeding and allows you to create 2 sides at once.
They are tons of fun and are a great size. I may use some of mine as is, but will most likely cut them up and use them as backgrounds on canvas or on my art journal pages.

Let me know if YOU decide to try your hand at some!

Henry and I are gearing up to make a giant snowflake wreath for our front door.
(Henry is my creative son, my little 'mini me') :)
The project is from Pinterest, of course :)
