Dismantled

You can't go wrong with reconstructed, recycled, upcycled, reused or repurposed creations. Check out these terrific creations.

This recycled (and oh so infamous!) FEMA blue tarp bustier, skirt and flower choker took 3rd place in the Upcycling contest.




And who doesn't love cupcakes!?!?




And of course this recycled fabric Fleur de Lis pin ties in nicely...

ArtAndArtifacts by Susan McSherry

ArtAndArtifacts

The mosaic art of Susan McSherry is really engaging.

Round 'n' Round Garden Ball is created with a eye for color and composition and with a bowling ball as a base! Fabulous...




Pink Foo Foo Clock is a slide top box embellished with buttons and clock parts. Wonderful AND PINK!




This wonderful bird house is complete with a ceramic bird and leaves and drawer pull feet.

Into the Blystic of Ontario, Canada

Into the Blystic

I love the ethereal quality of the work of Elis Cooke.

This mixed media piece is from the Doors of Perception series




This painting, Pilgrimage II, is beautiful and the use of color is fantastic




This mixed media collage painting is also wonderful and is created with handmade and handcast paper, inks, metallic powders and acrylic paint.



This is a one of a kind, handmade journal. This would make a wonderful gift or a treat for yourself.



Be sure to take a closer look. You won't be disappointed.

I ran across Lange's work years ago and immediately fell in love. What an amazing vision to create her fabulous art jewelry from doll parts. Her current work is equally amazing.

The Art of Mikel Robinson

The Art of Mikel Robinson

I stumbled on to Mikel Robinson's mixed media and digital work quite by accident. This is a wonderful image on it's own and would look great framed. However, Robinson went one step further and converted it to an illuminated art piece.





Here is another example of Robinson's work. It is a limited edition Giclee print.
"ALTERNATE ENDINGS"
2006
18.5" X 23"
(Image Area-Printed on 20.5" x 25")



These are just two examples so be sure to visit Robinson's sites to find a treasure for yourself.
