I’d like to add a few house hold items. The plastic needlepoint canvas, really inexpensive for 1 sheet, cut in a square or rectangle. You can use the sides, or lay it flat and get a grid. Kids toys are awesome, Barbie shoes, matchbox trucks roll over like a highway, you get cool treads. Combs, construction tape, also gridded. That paper that fruit comes in, bubble wrap, pennies, keys, grommets raid your kitchen and garage!

Great prints. I absolutely love doing foliage prints. And my next fav to that is duck feathers. We have a lot of ducks around my area and I'll go out to the lake where they are and just collect feathers of all sizes. I wash them really well and blow dry them, etc. and paint away with them. The paint builds up on them just fine.

Laurel...to make gel plate backgrounds animal themed, you can use old dog/cat toys, edible milk bones(the paint can preserve them for a longer use, but definitely not for dogs thereafter)...and the silicone chew toys can be used and cleaned through the dishwasher! Perfect for Rainbow Bridge cards!

One of my favorite things to use in a printing session is the tube from paper towels I put the circle end into the paint and then squidge it to the side about a half inch or however, and you get these really cool tube impressions. Also pink gramma curlers are great, and you can use those affinity cards all the stores give out and trim an edge and you will get lots of designs. I even bought a package of rulers, and cut the edges into designs and you can brayer over it to get cool designs on your plate too.
