[ARTful] Salvage: December 2010

ARTful: using or characterized by art and skill

Salvage: to rescue or save especially from wreckage or ruin

[ARTful] Salvage was born from a love of creating, repurposing and salvaging. I simply abhor seeing perfectly "useful" items headed for the landfill or tucked away in a cardboard box, never seeing the light of day. I believe there is always beauty to be found, even under a layer of rust or a coating of dust. I see scratches, dents or imperfections as badges of honor to be worn proudly. I have a great love for the history, story and life of a piece. We lovingly dream up ways of restoring new life to these discarded and neglected fragments of life. I am glad you are here and hope you will come again often. Please make yourself at home; friends are always welcome. I'd be thrilled to hear from you and get to know you better.

New ART to share....heading to a show

Finally had a chance to make some new repurposed ART. Made about a dozen new pieces.....looking at them as a group it seems I was in a blue mood! LOL They are heading with us to Lakeridge Winery for a 2 day show tomorrow, December 11th. The show is a fundraiser for the Annual South Lake Animal League Arts & Crafts Show. Here you go....for your viewing pleasure! :)
