This week I received take home items from two swaps. One of the swaps was from a get together of local artists/crafters. The other swap was an online game piece swap I participated in through ZNE.
I went to a local get together with 5 other artist/crafters on Sunday. One of the women, Marci, brought see-thru humans and little books. The books have a small accordian file folder inside so you can store notes, photos and other small items. I took a red one. I took 2 of the human bodies. I’ve already taken one of the bodies apart and I’m working on a few things.
I hope to end up with some examples of found object art. The items aren’t recycled, but they are found objects. I will be reusing or repurposing the items to make a few new altered art objects.
The game pieces above are from the game piece swap. I just received my pieces yesterday. This will be a challenge for me. I’m used to doing dimensional pieces. I ended up with quite a bit of paper, so I may do some flat work. I found some beautiful images that work well with some of the items above.
Well, I have plenty of new materials. Today, I need to finish up the cloth folk birds I started a while back. I’m almost done. I’ll probably finish early today with the birds and start on some of the dolls.
