This week end we did some cleanup on one of our palm trees and got a several of these palm boots. I'm trying to think of how to use them as an art base for an ATC. They are somewhat flexible, waxy feel to them, about 1/16 inch thick, cropodile punches right through crisply, cuts with my tonic scissors easier than cardboard.

I will probably end up with alot of these once I go through them and find usuable pieces. If anyone would like to try playing with this material just post here and the next time I send something to you in a swap I'll include some pieces. I might be able to get 4x4 out of some of them, but it looks like ATC size is no problem. Maybe a 3x6 if someone was thinking of long, skinny book pages.

I'll give them a try. It'll be interesting to see how they "age", won't it?

OH OH Me please.
Those look so cool.

I'm sure that you'll come up with a really neat use for those. I use to see them laying on the ground down in So Texas and wondered if anything could be done with them.

Rachelle, add me to the list...love the color and texture.
