i had this great idea...a brainstorm as it were...but my dumb and
lame printer ran out of ink. of course, that is actually my fault
as my printer cannot replace its own cartridges...so much for
the 21st century!
so, i got to thinking...sheesh! if i didn't print up so many things and
then merely use of smidge of them...i might still have some dadblame
ink left!
and that's when it happened...i got all "green" and birkenstocky {but
always with shaved armpits! i do have my limits! ;} and decided there
must be something i can make from all those srcaps on my floor...
{you think i jest...they really are on my floor...one day i'll show you a
picture, but i'll warn you first so you can administer your Xanax drip! ;}
and as you see..i made itty bitty widdle butterflies...
with tiny seashell tummies...
just what this world needs!
and attached them to clothes pins for pinning...
and peat post 'cuz i'm potty! {once again, using the British definition here! ;}
{how do we feel about the starfish "lashed" to the pot?
seemed like a good idea...bit then it kinda seemed like
something the Spartans would have done to Starfishicus
Maximus...creepy or cutie...you decide! ;}

Great job! I love how cute the clips are now, and to think that they were inspired by the scraps on the floor. :) Very nice!

Yes wouldn't be great if those printers could replenish their own ink? I like what you have made -- very creative! Makes me think of other ideas ...
ReplyDeleteI would luv to have an ink cart that doesn't dry...
