Published by Shai | Filed under Crafty Things, Notes & Ideas

I love making stuff. And, I like cooking too. So, I guess it’s only natural that I turn to the kitchen every now and then for creative inspiration. Here are 10 things from the kitchen that I use a lot in my creative projects:

1) Plastic wrap - Good for creating painting textures, preserving ink, and protecting finished products.

2) Kitchen Towel - Great for cleaning up mess, soaking liquid, or for creating textures in painting.

3) Bamboo Skewers - For etching, binding books, installation art…

4) Baking Paper - Collage material, for lining baked artwork

5) Plastic Cutlery - Mixing paint, applying paint, creating paint textures (the fork is especially good for this)

6) Paper (or plastic) cups and plates - As an alternative to a palette, to hold paint/water, craft/art assembly

7) Ziplock / Sandwich Bags - For storing art and craft materials, for organising materials, as a protective sleeve for shipping finished work
Paper Bags - For storage, for creating scrapbooking albums, as a ground for paintings and collage

9) Plastic containers - Storage and organisation, as a way to hold water/paint/ink

10) Kitchen Timer - For timing projects
