Scraps Into Art

Turn Your Keepsake Papers Into Works of Art

Browsing through news headlines often gives me some interesting topics. And, one in particular has really earned an honorable mention: "Scraps of Paper Become Works of Art" by Molly Gilmore-Baldwin.

She wrote about an artist who turns scraps of paper -- like advertisements, flyers, envelopes -- and creates layered art pieces.
“It’s about finding beauty in what people normally would consider trash, and it’s about finding something new in what people would consider trash,” said (Mark) Schultz, now of Tacoma, who’s been creating the collages for 14 years and has had several solo shows, most in California."
Finding beauty in trash ... I don't think I would've ever thought of that! But, that's what I call creative recycling! And, it takes me to another thought: what about turning your boxed-up keepsakes into works of art? That would be one way to display and appreciate them, now wouldn't it?

Oh, the wonders of creative thought!
