PAINTING ON FURNACE FILTERS

I am always looking for new arts and craft things to try so I have tried painting on a furnace filter. I do not know if others have tried this strange canvas? If you have email me and let me know your experience. I used spray paint and craft paint with a small bush. It was fun to play with shapes and lines. I am going to do some more experimenting, but I find it like painting on air and hard to do any detail. Click on the picture for a closer look!

STYROFOAM ART

Everyone is probably aware that when working with styrofoam you never want to spray paint your work because the propellants in spray paint melt the styrofoam. But I kind of like the effect that is created when the spray paint etches into the styrofoam leaving holes and cradders that are colored and kind of crystalline in appearance(click on the attached photo and have a look). So I have been experimenting and here is one result. I thought I would through it out there to everyone as something you might enjoy. There are a couple of things that I have noticed, different brand paints etch deeper and the more dense the styrofoam the less effect the spray paint has. I am going to continue to experiment and will keep everyone posted if I discover any other fun stuff from this craft.
