Challenge - Recycled Materials As Art?

Example: Water Bottle Flowers!

What recycled materials could you use to create art?  Post your ideas in the comments section! 

"Green" Easter Art Installation - Come Join Us on Saturday, March 31st for Bringing It Together!

As many of you know we have been working on a GIANT community art project that will be unveiled at Easter at Lakeside Church. Today alone, I think we had more than 300 water bottle flowers "bloom" before our eyes with the help of many hands.  Thank you to everyone who has participated thus far!  If you've joined us, you know how enjoyable it has been to see water bottles, headed for the trash, be transformed into beautiful creations. 

Next Saturday, we will be getting together for a work/play day to start putting everything together.  Come join us!  If you want to work on your own projects, that's fine too.  It's creative time and space.

Be A Part of Something Big...

Artichoke by Lisa Magruder

February 2012 Open Studio is a Big Deal! 

Why?

First of all, because it's our first anniversary.  (Woohoo!)

Second of all, because we are working on a big project!  I'll give you some hints - it incorporates recycling, creating, and collaboration.  It is something that needs a lot of hands and will continue over the next few months...the final product will be unveiled at Easter!  Come be a part of something big, and beautiful, and meet awesome people in the meantime.  All skill levels and ages welcome.  (Adult supervision for small children, please.)

Come to Open Studio this weekend for more details, and bring as many plastic bottles as you can find!   

As always, you are welcome to work on your own creative projects at Open Studio whatever they may be, but you are also welcome to join us in what will prove to be an awesome collaborative project.
