Making styrofoam prints is an easy way to fill up an art journal page.

Using styrofoam packaging and a ball point pen create designs. I decided I would design frames to use in art journals. Using frames is a great way to break up a page into smaller pieces that are easier to fill.

I simply brush on acrylic paint and press them onto the page.

I collected the styrofoam…from vegetables and take out.

This is what the styrofoam looked like after using a ball point pen to create the simple frames.
