For those of you who like recycled art, altered art, mixed media collage using found treasures, etc etc AND for those of us that get to experience all of the strange questions (“what kind of art is THAT?”… blank stares and “oh my” facial expressions from friends and relatives – my mom actually sent me email saying “it’s so original” on one of my best pieces… ouch!) here’s a one-up for us. I’ll count this article as a proverbial feather in my cap so to speak…. altered art, recycled art, found treasures and every other catch phrase that’s been thrown around to describe exactly what kind of art we’re trying to do is being celebrated everywhere. Take a look at some of these pieces of art by very famous artists, and yes they ARE very good! So excited to see so many people taking part of something so fun to do. I think I’ll pass this article on to mom, too <g>
