Okay, so when most people see an empty egg carton, they think, okay, time to toss this in the recycle bin, right?

Or maybe, if she’s a crafty mama, she wonders if it can be used for some school project with her kids…

But I think Oh, I like the pattern on the bottom of this container! So I test it out on a magazine nearby…

Then cover a canvas with a solid pale aqua and…

Add some white, light aqua, and dark aqua gradated on the bottom of the egg carton…

Stamp it across the canvas…

Connect the grid…

…using the tip of the foam brush…

Blot with a paper towel, and call her done!

Of course, I never seem to call a project done… So I added a verse… And then called it done. Again.

So, anyone else use unexpected tools to create art? Do tell!
