While im here a quick work about cleaning wipes. Yes i do use them, i favour the ones that have no holes or patterns pressed into them and use then to clean up my excess paints. Then i dry them out naturally...you get some stunning patterns on them and once they have been pressed several times, they retain enough colour to be used in their own right as panels on journal covers or to make flowers etc.  No waste just lost of fun.
