One great thing about art is that you can make it out of anything that you have. You don't always need the most expensive paint, or the nicest paint brushes, and the fanciest paper to be made. While those are nice and do come in handy with some things, I have had to create a way to be an artist on a budget. In my soon to be broke art student status and from then countering the staving artist stereotype I have started to notice other ways that you can create art with a few basics and some imagination. In all honesty just go around your room, go around you house, find things that you don't need, that need a little TLC, or just look like they could use some fixing up.
Art can be anything that you make with your hands. You don't need to paint like Van Gogh, or be the next Chihuly of glass making. Sometimes all you need is the leftover paint on you paper plate palate to be inspired.
Hope you have an Inspired rest of 2013!
Also Merry Christmas!
