The GPP Street Team Crusade this month is Cheap Tricks. I posted earlier in the month about my supplies of reusable materials that I collect to use in arts and crafts. I've now made a small art journal entirely from reused materials on the theme of Cheap Tricks, Green Tricks. It's made from a promotional CD and cover, with the collages made from office waste paper and cuttings from magazines and publicity fliers. It would be nice to think that the CD was a DVD of the wisdom of Crafty Green Poet but actually, underneath the collage, its still a computer company publicity CD!
Juliet - I love it! A whole journal made from re-purposed stuff. Cheap tricks indeed! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I especially like the green feet and the headline/tagline on the second one. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThis is so great! And the owl and green feet look cheerful too.
ReplyDeleteEvery so often I think about making an art journal, but really I have enough things to do already! I like yours, and in these days of shops full of scrapbooking and art making supplies, I love what you have done with reused materials
ReplyDeletevery creative -- typical of you!
ReplyDeleteWhen the DVD of your wisdom does come out, let me know, oh wise one. ;)
