Don't throw out the styrofoam trays used to hold ground meat and other frozen items, they are great for making original prints!
Cut the sides off of the tray, so you have a flat piece. Draw a design with a ball point pen, making sure that your pen makes an indentation in the styrofoam.
Apply ink or paint to your styrofoam with a brush or roller, place on paper, burnish and lift up to reveal your print!
