Fast Food

 

Today is tax day in the States.  I hope yours are either finished or you are working on them, because you only have until midnight tonight to get them filed.  

Bleubeard and I are here today with another entry for our recycle, reuse, repurpose theme we are hosting this month at Art Journal Journey.   We had planned to feature another entry today, but time was not on our side, so it will have to wait for me to get it together, hopefully by tomorrow.

We named this Fast Food, because almost everything here can be eaten with little to no preparation.  We have some detail images, too.

I didn't buy these cookies, but I found the label in my ever growing stash of recyclables.  I added the sheet music by pressing packing tape against a small piece of vintage sheet music.  When I lifted the tape, the music notes stuck to the tape.

By now you probably know I collect labels from bananas.  I have so many of these, and I seem to get more each time I shop for groceries.  Foreign text made the backdrop for the banana labels, as well as the recipe for Jammy Waffles.  

Why not use this raspberry jam over the Waffles.  Of course, Eggos would be even quicker than waffles, I suspect.

 

My dear foodie friend Sally lets me rifle through her recyclables and I found this cardboard box that originally held cans of chili with beans.  I thought it made a great background and was solid, too.

I called the spread Fast Food.  I recycled the circle that was left over for a previous spread.

Everything I used on this spread was either recycled or repurposed with the exception of the small amount of packing tape, the gold Posca pen I used to outline the Jammy Waffles and the pink Posca pen I used to write the sentiment.  I found the raspberry preserves in a magazine and I've already explained where everything else came from.

Bleubeard and I are delighted you dropped by today.  We look forward to seeing what you recycle, repurpose, or reuse and sincerely hope you will join us at Art Journal Journey.
