I was asked to make name tags for the helpers at the AB (Arts Bus) Open House event in town. they are reusable.

just a few days before I was asked for this, a friend of mine asked me if I would use the vinyl bags that came with curtains she had bought, for any art project. I didn't think of anything at that time but here goes, just in perfect timing they showed up to be used !

each name tag slip has
a little butterfly which is made of elephant poop paper.

Cork Dolls : Nature Spirits

this is the one of the things I have been working on for an Earth Day event for my friend where I will also be attending.

I have helped my friend to make recycled upcycled stuff for a recycle museum booth a few years ago, and I am adding more things this year to the collection samples to introduce the ideas what we can do with our resources that we call trash (more on thankEARTH.us) since the ones I made a few years ago are more like crafts ideas for little children, and I had to fill the space with the samples in a short amount of time. I am not professional for this so it is not like I can just come up with the ideas & be done quick. and this time, I could do a bit more for bigger kids.


basic materials on this :

. corks
. cardboard
. plastic water & milk bottles
. yarn
. eco felt
. moss
. feathers
. old fake flower
. acrylic paints

this doll house made with cardboard and can be flattened in order to store & carry.
