Recycled Lightbulb Vase

Okay, I love learning new things. Aristotle wrote "Wisdom begins in wonder" and some days I take that to heart a little too much. I get so excited everytime the new class list comes out at the parks or libraries or at the LSS and so on.

But, I love the inspiration and the motivation it gives me.

Monday night I took a Recycled Art class at the library and Susie showed us how to hollow out a lightbulb and turn it into art.

We painted them there, then I brought mine home and added my own wire and beads.

This is what I got and the chickeepoos were kind enough to go out and pick me a few daisies for it.


Now, maybe it's just me.....but can you imagine these with alcohol inks? Ooooohhhhh.....pretty! I'm gonna have to find me some more lightbulbs and play!
