    Carolyn,

    My husband has a frameshop/gallery so I get tons of foamcor scraps. I use
    it constantly. It is great for sculptures (slotted or hot glued), as a
    backing for heavy media, to make small easels out of to support miniatures,
    as the core of a wrapped mounting board to display jewelry, mobile material,
    standing signs, as a base for paper sculpture, etc., etc. I could go on and
    on. the stuff is great, and once you get used to it, almost indispensable.

    Have fun and let us know what you come up with.

    Andrea in Pa.
