I came home, and just decided I HAD to cut up a coke can...with the intention of using it (with a rolled edge) for the back of an ATC...but I soon found out it was too soft for this....sadly...Anyhoo...I DID cut out the DAILY VALUE chart and used it in this doodle, while siting down trying to relax after a semi-crazy day...and this is what came out of it. Some people actually get value out of using cactus for medicinal purposes, and I think this tall planty-looking thing on the right side of page looks sort of cactusy...but maybe more like some sort of Euphorbia (which is actually a succulent). Once again I am selling out to the succulents (in general), rather than the cactus...(sorry CM group)...
I drew it on page 2 of the Christmas journal I made. I am ignoring the fact that it is themed for the wrong time of year, and just proceeding ahead with whatever...because who the heck actually gives a flying flip what I do? I know I don't!!! :)

Thank you Julie! Now my succulent has a name. : )
Love your doodling there. Purple and blue are a pretty combination. Need to work that into a few of my cards. Have a great day.

On my recent trip to Mexico for an art workshop we learned to cut up and use colorful soda cans as elements in our found object projects. It was easier than I expected, and I actually cut up several without serious injury! A lot of Mexican folk art makes use of the cans as well as the pop top tabs. We riveted on the tabs to the backs of our creations for hanging.
Love your creative ideas!
