Pieces of the Past

Recyc)

I just completed this piece for a challenge from

KC Willis at Collage Camp.

the idea was to use only recycled and used elements.

this wonderful old printers box was perfect for such a project!

most of the pieces are things i have picked up on the ground...

on my runs in the city...

at the beach..or in the woods.

although i must confess there are a few bits of

paper and such that are not recycled...

I couldn't help myself...creative license bonus!

this is one of my favorite quotes.. though i have so many...

but it really described the essence of this piece...

my favorite type of art...

bringing together bits of found treasures from many places

to create a beautiful rembrance. the paper is coffee stained.

the grapevine and beach glass i collected myself.

i've added a couple of old clock gears for a bit of steampunk appeal..

i thought they went well with the brass connectors

on the crossbars of the box.

i found this piece of beach glass last week in Maine...

it reminded me of an old vase.

i always have a closet full of hanging flowers

in the process of drying...

i love using them to make wreaths and wrap gifts.

i made this nest out of some chicken wire and

used a beach pebble for the egg.

the old lace doily is coffee stained.

the driftwood came from the beach

and pools in Maine.
