When I was a kid, way back yonder in the 1970s, I would come home from school, sometimes bringing one of my friends with me and, in addition to eating hot dogs my mother made for us and watching reruns of "Batman," we would draw pictures. Usually of Batman. And we would draw them on paper plates.
I don't know why we used paper plates. Maybe we didn't have any drawing paper, that's a good guess. Maybe we did, and we just preferred the feel of a paper plate underneath our pencils. Like I said, I don't know why we used paper plates, but we did and it was fun.
Occasionally I grow nostalgic for a time in life when I was free enough of spirit to be able to use paper plates as an artistic tool. We used what was available, had no pressure to be perfect or to show off anything to anyone, and we were simply creative in a simple way. Those days are gone forever, over a long time ago, oh yeah.

Yr never too old to embrace yr creative side. Perfection & snobby art skills are overrated. You only go around once - enjoy it!
