"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.
This came our great! I love owls and yay to recycling!
ReplyDelete...a treasure indeed!
ReplyDeleteI heard an owl in the forest yesterday!
ReplyDeleteToo bad thisisn't new because with the tree it would be perfect for Gillena's AJJ challenge. Hope you're having a lovely weekend my friend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteIt is so frustrating when technology decides to act up just when you are in the middle of a roll, but reposting this piece was a wonderful idea. That owl is a true treasure, and using calligraphy pen nibs for the feet is such a clever, creative touch that I never would have thought of myself. It just goes to show that with a little imagination, even a burnt can lid can become something beautiful and full of character
ReplyDeleteVery clever and a great piece.
