Unexpected Find of Art


Made from tissue paper

Recycled Bottle Caps


Fallen Leaves

Hanging Art

So it's been quite some time since I've last written a blog. This is much due to settling into a new home and relocation of residence. As we moved from 6th Avenue downtown and into suburban life into a home, I've been EXTREMELY busy with interior/exterior design, planning, scheming colors, palettes on paint and most importantly been researching into thrify, budget saving decor since I am planning to use a lot of the inventory we already possess.

When James took me on one of his work board meetings, I met some pretty important/influential people but it was the unexpected scrap art that caught my attention. The art pieces displayed above were made from children who are enrolled in the art educational program in the facility.

I couldn't help but be inspired by these children who made their own masterpieces of ART from scraps of NOTHING. By nothing, I mean to say, recycled items, things you can use that's available from walking outside the door and NOT into a BED, BATH and BEYOND or a PIER 1 IMPORTS. Not to say that this unexpected factor is 100% responsible to convince me to make my own art decor but I have to give credit on the research and readings on MANY home improvement magazines. I am very happy I came with James to his meeting. It was the push I needed to make my own art pieces to personalize our new home.
