Our challenge this week is 'Alter/Recycle' - alter something, or include a recycled element your project.
I was inspired by this item from Paula Art:
Our wonderful sponsor this week is Meljen's Designs, and I have also used her image, "Artist Mug" in my project. I've recycled a coffee jar, and a large sheet of Jasmine's old 'marble painting' artwork from preschool:
This is the underneath - not a very exciting view - but it shows how the paper edges were folded under the jar and covered up with a punched circle:
What I did:
1> Remove the lid and label from a coffee jar
2> Wrap a sheet of artwork around the jar and secure with double-sided tape.
3> Print the image onto another piece of artwork and mount onto a tag. Ink the edges.
5> Tie a ribbon around the neck of the covered jar and attach the tag with a bow.
6> Use the jar for paintbrushes or other art tools
I'm entering my project at:
# Etsy Inspired ~ Paula Art
# Polka Doodles ~ Anything but a card
# Really Reasonable Ribbon ~ Anything Goes
# Challenge Up Your Life ~ Recycling
I'm submitting my 'tip' at:
# Top Tip Tuesday ~ Children's artwork is wonderful to use on all sorts of projects! I ran a piece of painted paper though the printer and it worked perfectly as a background for the image.
EDITED 4/6/11:I was a winner at Etsy Inspired for this creation - and I won a lovely digital prize from Shery K Designs.
