New to You: Recycled Art
I scour the internet for interesting art to share with my readers at Daily Art Muse. Along the way I discovered the world of Recycled Art and I have gleaned quite a bit of information. I've got my finger on the pulse of Who is making it, How they do it and Why recycled and vintage materials are the hottest thing since sliced bread!

It's fantastic to see that there are so many people out the that appreciate what we do. I thought I was just a crazy woman - so many people have made fun of me over the past 35 years for creating art out of garbage. Posted July 25, 2008 |
