in celebration of earth day, i'd like to thank the artists & crafters whose use found objects in their work. together, they prove that one man's trash is another gal's whorange.
here are just a few of my favs:
above top: "portrait" composed of found gloves & chair. above bottom: "traffic" composed of found plastics & metals. both by paul villinski.
above top: "trophy" composed of sewn found photographs & found text. above bottom: "la caridad" composed of sewn found photographs, feathers, toothpicks, cardboard & book page. both by lisa kokin.
above top: "sins and virtues plates." above bottom left to right: "white stripes plate," "knob plate," and "flight of the conchords plate." materials: vintage plates & paint. all by trixie delicious of vandalized vintage.
above: "genuine bows" by stephen johnson. materials: second-hand ornaments.

those are really creative and original pieces of craft. That is an example of how we could re-utilize some of the things that we usually dispose of and a great way to celebrate the earth day as you mentioned it!
