Repurposed Paper Towels

Here is my latest experiment after seeing the possibilities on YouTube tutorials.

This is how I made these post cards.  First, I dredged the waste paper basket for paper towels I had used to clean acrylic paints off my Gelli Printing Plate.  I flattened them, ironed them, and over-stamped them with rubber stamp inks.

The post cards I spattered with rubber stamp ink.  Then I cut the paper towels into shapes, and using a glue stick, I attached the pieces to the ink-spattered post cards.  I machine stitched around each shape with variegated thread, and- Voila!  I'm hoping MMSA will have a Repurposed Paper Towels Swap sometime.
