Anyone Using Recycled Material In Art?

About 75% of my work is based on or created from recycled materials.

gandhi memorial...amazing work....organic art from mother nature -recycling on another level.... . .

Thank you for sending me these pictures of various art pieces using recycled materials..Keep sending me more....love it.

I've begun using wooden pallets to make art. I add sea shells, palm tree parts.
I've already sold these two.

Francesa, you have a real eye for detail and I love your use of pallets

Thanks. It was hard throwing the pallets away that came in to my day job. Many of them were oak and poplar; good, beautiful wood. I just wish they were easier to take apart.

I used newspaper in my art, and also used plywood as based for my art pieces.

Do I recycle? all the time and almost anything. here is one of my latest leaf cut on a bamboo leaf.

Alfred , your work is very intricate and shows much detail. Very neat idea?

I haven't recently...but did use various shells, netting, glass, metals, etc. in various collages...will find images & post later...

This artist's rice plant leaves & straw originals are a marvel -- enjoy Rajan Koshy's creativity at http://www.etsy.com/shop/museumshop?ref=hdr

No color, paint or dye added to the natural color of the materials in most of the pieces.

I recycle my massive magazine collection into these collages.

Shawna, you are a really fine artist. I like your idea of using magazines...great stuff

Thank you Perry. :)

Shawna.... Love those Collages... How's the City scape going?

I can't post all my work here, But every single piece of my work is created from Pre-used Materials... Steel things from every corner of the Spectrum...

I have been working on this Idea for a few days, and I'm loving it as it keeps getting more exciting, but I'm not letting on what it is yet... What do you think??

There are more pieces to it that are not shown, but I couldn't fit all of them in the Picture...LOL

@Dan It's coming along, but slowly, too many other things to do. I am intrigued by this next piece of yours, keep us updated!
