Can you tell what recycled item is being used here as an ink palette? Yes, that is the humble baby wipe. I keep these everywhere, in the car, in the studio, in the garage, and even out in my storage spaces as things sometimes can get dirty and they are just great for a quick hand cleaning. I never would have thought of using them as a palette for rubber stamping. I include rubber stamped images in my mixed-media art these days and I can’t wait to try this tutorial on how to use a baby wipe for an ink palette featured at the blog Stamping with Blue Moon Creations.

How to make translucent paper
I recently unearthed my stamp collection and it it was an oversized stamp of an old fashion slide frame. So I went on the hunt for tutorials on how to make translucent images and I found this video on how to make Glassine paper on YouTube by Our Upcycled Life. Pop on over to the video to watch how to make translucent paper in a few ways.

It is not recycling if you buy new materials, use them 2-3 times and then toss them out.

Yes I agree with you. I should have added that I then save these colored wipes and use them in collages, for packing material, and I have been known to dust with them or scoop up a bug. I have a giant Ziplock bag of paint covered wipes and paper towels that I use till the bitter end.
