Trash or Treasure?

 

"Failed to Publish" has once again reared its ugly head.  One minute I could leave comments, the next I couldn't.  You will hear from me when blogger sees fit.   

This art work was first shown in April, 2015.  It was called:

 Trash  or Treasure?

I've explained to a few people who've asked, it's hard to create NEW recycled, repurposed, reused, reclaimed, or upcycled art every day for 22 days after I've been doing it for several years.  The particular type of art using recycled or recyclable materials I see on the internet can, for the most part, be placed in two distinct categories: high end and kids crafts.

Neither child craft nor high end, this mixed media piece I made one year shows how I recycled a can lid I burned in my chiminea.  For the background and owl, I used magazine images.  Over the body, I placed a found metal spacer and two found bird feathers that reminded me of an owl's feathers. For the legs and feet, I used calligraphy pen nibs. The bottom color is a bit distorted due to my previous scanner.

This is Day 12 of 22 and I recycled art from April, 2015.  Thanks for dropping by today.  I appreciate it.
