Yesterday, I got together with a group of Mom's and their 9 and 10 year old daughters to make Monsters from recycled sweaters. They were given very simple instructions and then given full reign of the materials available to make their monsters. They had sweaters, afghans, buttons, funky clothing scraps and embroidery thread. They were all stuffed with my big bag of scraps from projects I had worked on the last couple of months.
Some Mom's made their own, others helped their daughter with her project, but each daughter walked away with a Monster. All of the monsters were unique and showed the personality of the creator.
I will be teaching a
recycled arts class at the
Columbia Art Center in Hood River during the Trash to Treasures exhibit this month. Join us on January 28th from 9am-noon to make a monster and wallet, all from recycled materials.
