It’s an oxymoron, right? My recent shower head purchase came with some useful packaging.

Look at that teeny tiny box that held the plumber’s tape! The main container is nice and sturdy with a hinged lid. It’ll bee great for storage! Maybe, I’ll cover it with gel prints!

I have no idea why that piece of cardboard is shaped like a cutting board, but it should make an unusual sign or collage backing.

There are two big sheets of tissue for gel plating or stamping. Even the strangely shaped pressed paper liner has a sculptural quality!

And oh! Here’s the little spool from the plumber’s tape. It can be used for mark making on the gel plate or in polymer clay. I can even wrap leftover threads or cords around it!

My husband has learned to ask, “Is it for art, honey, or can I throw it away?“
