Craft Barn's Seventh Challenge.

This fortnight (still loving that word), Craft Barn gave us Change or Truth.  Please visit them, because all my links open in a new window, so you won't miss anything here, either.

I realize the DT members also chose Change this fortnight, but I found so much humor in this quote, I simply had to use it.

This is a genuine British coin, brought to me years ago by a friend.  It is 5 pence, which may be about the same as a nickle in the US.

I cut some quarters ($0.25 US) from an old advertisement for the new design.  I used one to signify this is Craft Barn's seventh challenge.

Since I couldn't find an image of a vending machine, I decided to sew around the words by Robert C. Gallagher, "Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine."  I added the dollar image I found in a magazine.

Today is Day 7 leading up to Earth Day.  In case you don't know, my quest is to make art from things people would normally send to the trash.  As I've done with all previous challenges, I used a file folder for my substrate that I cut in half and spritzed with my handmade shimmering mists, cut images from junk mail and a magazine, and took 5 pence out of circulation by adding it to my art.

Please go to Craft Barn for others who are participating in this challenge.  Once again, I visited everyone last time, so if you didn't get a comment from me, it was because I'm either not a member of your preferred application, or your blog didn't allow me to leave a comment.
