ART FROM THE RECYCLING BIN
Free art materials are everywhere! This blog is dedicated to exploring and encouraging the use of found art materials. As an art therapist who works with children and their families, I am especially interested in the possibilities for incorporating creative play into everyday family life. Using materials we find around us can make the process fun, lively, personal, affordable, and environmentally responsible. So get out there and start collecting garbage!

Found Mask

I came across this mask in a parking lot. It's actually one of those cardboard drink carriers that had been run over repeatedly by cars and looked exactly like this when I found it.  I tried inking it and running it through a press, but I actually liked the original untouched find better.

Thanks--although I can't really take the credit--I found it this way!
