Here is a fun little blast from the past.  Talk about never knowing where the inspiration is going to come from here are some fun pieces that are made from junk mail.  That's right!  Junk mail!  I always felt badly about how many trees had to die for all that useless junk mail I would get.  Then one day the old innovation bulb went off and I decided to make art out of it.  

I would pulverize the mail down in the blender until it was a fine pulpy sludge.  It was a great molding material.  Great for sculpting relief artwork and in this case frames for some pastel paintings.    I built a frame and included a sheet of glass and then mold it on screen so the water would drain out. Once it was dry I would gesso the raw piece and then paint them with acrylic paint.  The frame actually became a part of the artwork.  That junk mail is not so useless anymore!!!!

What caused your innovation bulb to go off today!!!!

Be Innovative!!!
