This passion was ignited whilst studying 'Interior Design' with a project called 'Reclaim Reframe'. \n\nThe scope of the project was to source materials that were recycled from one item and re-purpose them into a new item with a new function. My interpretation at the time was to **reclaim** the cables from *old-skool* playstation guns and **reframe** them into *actual* skipping ropes (oh,<br> the horror..!)\n\nThese days,<br> I have an abundant supply of dog food bags and for months,<br> I've been trying to think of a way to re-use the plastic. They make excellent paint catchers for when I'm doing my fluid art but I always felt they could be put to a much better use,<br> somehow...?\n\nWell today,<br> I think I may have found that use - I've been holding back from making stencils over the past couple of weeks,<br> only because I didn't have anything suitable to cut them from and when I emptied the 'Lucky Dog' bag this morning,<br> I looked at it and thought,<br> 'I might as well give it a try'. (*I mean,<br> who doesn't like free art supplies?*)\n\n---\n\n![Imgur (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/EqpsuOS.jpg)\n\n<sub>Yellow: design used as a mask (ghost print - top right)\nPurple: stencil design applied with a sponge<\/sub>\n\n---\n\nAnyhoo,<br> the results are positive... overall,<br> I think the stencil turned out pretty good and the plastic cut very easily... in fact,<br> the only problems I had,<br> were due to my own errors,<br> such as working with a dull blade and some flaws in the design causing problems during both the printing and stenciling process (*but wouldn't be an issue if I were screen-printing*). The only negative was the plastic might be a bit flimsy for some uses but I already have some ideas about how to fix that.\n\nSoooooo,<br> will I be exploiting this unexpected freebie in my creative quest through the (sometimes very expensive) world of art supplies? \n\nWell,<br> frankly,<br> YES..!\n\nToday's experiment may not have produced the perfect result but I can definitely see the potential.\n\n<center>\n\n![Line (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png)\n\nThanks for stopping by and reading my post,<br> I really do appreciate your time.\n\n### And remember to keep smiling,<br> it makes people wonder what you're thinking...!\n\n<br>\n\n![Kindest Regards (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/VBf96Pj.png)\n\nIf you enjoyed reading my post,<br> please follow,<br> comment and upvote.\nAll photos,<br> stories and graphics are my own work unless otherwise noted.\n\n<br>\n\n![Imgur (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/nPCnREd.png)\n\n![Line (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png)\n\n[![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/80x90\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/st-nicholas2018.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/80x90\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/level.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/80x90\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/postallweek.png?update) (http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/board.html?user=alphaccino.art)\n\n<sub>Make your own steemitboard footer with [this post (https:\/\/steemit.com\/steemitboard\/@arcange\/steemitboard-how-to-create-an-awesome-footer-with-your-awards) by @arcange<\/sub>\n\n[![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/50x600\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/posts.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/60x70\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/comments.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/70x80\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/votes.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/70x80\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/payout.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/60x70\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/commented.png?update) ![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/50x60\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/voted.png?update) (http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/board.html?user=alphaccino.art)\n\n![Line (https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/u7Do3Kd.png)\n\n![ (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/80x90\/http:\/\/steemitboard.com\/@alphaccino.art\/dw-early.png?update)\n<sub>Looking for some fun games to play on Steemit?
