Recycled Design Media: Lipstick

Video Transcript

"I don't know if you can see but the mineral spirit does leave kind of like an edge like oil, an oil edge. And so you're going to have that here it's going to turn the paper a little translucent so you know, if you decide to work with this in a drawing you need to keep that in mind. I tried it on Yupo too which is that, that sort of plastic surface and what I got on here was, was this more, you're going to see you know, whatever the mark is of the item you're making it wit. And what I think will happen, yeah on this it's just going to take it off. Kind of take it off so this isn't something you're going to use on Yupo but it's a good thing to know you know? I had a piece sitting around, I usually use this kind of paper but I wanted to see what would happen. So you know, hay you got an old lipstick, this is kind of like using a crayon. It glides a whole lot better than a crayon I have to say and of course the colors are, well the colors aren't as limited as they used to be because I guess now they have it in blacks and stuff but you can play, you can you know, use it like a crayons if you have old ones that you don't want to use anymore. You can use them that way and they too will be able to respond to spreading with, with mineral spirits. So this also is a way you know to use up something you've got around, hanging around the house maybe and you can play with it you know, in a wash way or you can play with it in you know, just as a pencil sort of thing. So those are just, you know, they're there why not try to use them."
