Alternative Stores for Supplies
Making art does not always mean a trip to an Art Store. Often I take Artists Dates to some of the following idea generating alternative supply stores:
Thrift Stores - ideas and cheap materials abound, pots, storage units, furniture, men's shirts
Goodwill Stores - same
Salvation Army - yep, good stuff for art
American Cancer Society Thrift Shops - a bit more upscale than Goodwill usually, but you never know what you can find
Salvage Yards - my favorite, but good ones are hard to find, sadly I do not live near my favorite salvage yard any longer, if you live in Northern California check out: Heritage Salvage
Dollar Stores - I have known artists to buy canvases here on purpose (a cheap surface), also containers, tape, glue, random hardware, wire, or even strange made in China toys to re-appropriate
Fabric Stores - who says you have to stretch canvas bought at an art store, what can you do with alternative fabrics?
Local Consignment Shop - one of my favorite consignment shops sells buttons by the jar full, they actually hire special needs adults that cut the buttons off of unusable clothing and sell the buttons for about $7 - $9 a jar, sadly I moved away from this jem of a store in Napa, CA
eBay - well, you never know what you might need, 100 porcelain kitties, eBay would be a good place to start
I would love for any local Los Angeles peeps to tell me of their favorite Alternative Art supplies stops - I am new here and need some direction. Please comment and share.

If you're just looking to host a "come as you are" style party with family and friends (and lots of fun, of course. Believe it or not, a well-chosen cheap dress colour can transform the ensemble impact from drab to fab. For all but the most liberal or artistic job interview settings, the wisest choice is to cover visible body art and remove any piercings, including earrings.
