I found some lovely cardboard. I know, that sounds funny. But, I am a recycle artist at heart. I love taking something that someone would normally discard, and re-invent it into art. It makes my heart smile, it makes the planet smile and it is just a feel good way to create. What made this cardboard great? it's thick and it has a nice linear texture. So when you apply paint with an old credit card, a nice linear pattern appears.
These are just in the beginning stages. And I am not certain exactly where they are going. I love to work
from the heart, not the mind, so I will trust these pieces will go on their own journey with a little help from me.
I started by cutting the shapes and actually stitching them together with my sewing machine using a zigzag stitch. I loved the sound of the sewing machine needle punching through the cardboard!

And heartbreaking news this morning. I am making cardboard houses and listening to the news from Haiti about the huge earthquake and the hundreds of casualities. If only I could magically send these cardboard houses to that island to be transformed into actual houses. If only.
NOW
I must get to work making a living. :)
