http://curezone.com/upload/Members/Mayah/Eco_Art_Fall_Birds_02_cz.jpg
A family member is an artist who uses acrylic paints; she had an extra set of paints and I traded with her to get them. I hadn’t used acrylics since childhood--won’t tell you how many years ago that was! Used the acrylics to paint the background for ”Fall Birds”. The canvas board itself is made from 100% recycled materials, distributed by Michael’s Art Mart. The background forest photo is reused from a magazine; the birds are reused fr ... read more Animal Eco Art Cards 9 y

Eco Art Card ”Bee One”
Eco Art Card ”Bee Two”
Eco Art Card ”Bears”
Eco Art Card ”Sea Turtle”
A family member is an artist who wipes excess paint onto napkins or paper towels; instead of throwing them away, the paint-covered wipes are used in my Eco Art. These wipes are embellished with small photos of animals from magazines and junk mail and glued onto new card stock to make greeting cards. non-VOC glues/acrylic

Eco Art Book: This is my first altered book. It started out as just the cardboard hardcover of a very old children's book, with all of the pages missing, that a friend and fellow artist gave to me. Working intensely for the past 10 days, the hardcover has been transformed into "The Book of Mysteries"
Eco Art Book: ”Book of Mysteries” All art and photos by mayah(c)2015 Top: Front cover; bottom: back cover 6” X 4”
I had the little empty cardboard book cover sitting on my art table since last year; suddenly last week I felt inspired to make a book. The book cover was covered with recycled Rhimax paper; the pages were made out of the same, with two sheets glued together to make the pages thick, then sewed together, and finally glued into the book cover. Each 8” X 6” double page was then decorated with a theme and has a ”mystery” to it.
Initially, the book pages and bi ... read more Art: Mandala Mobile 9 y

I took some photos of my watercolor art and nature years ago, had some small prints made, put them away and forgot about them. Rediscovered the photos and have been making art cards all weekend.
Art Card ”Backyard Flower” 6” X 5.5” Eco Art by mayah(c)2015
You can’t see it from the photo, but I put a cardboard cut-out in the shape of the flower underneath the flower in the photo, so that the flower sticks out from the card for a bit of a 3-D effect. Hand embroidery around the flower petals/stems.
Made an envelop for this card out of unbleached wax paper--this was stitched on the sewing machine.

This one was fun to do: after embroidering it, glued the photo onto a piece of recycled cardboard and put it on top of layers of colored bubble wrap inside of a recycled plastic container (can’t even remember what was originally in the container--some kind of small electronic some-thing-or-other?). This one is hanging in my bathroom window as a sort-of light catcher.

The top image is the original photo I took of the last bloom on an orchid plant I had in the house; the orchid was actually purple-hued like this, but when I printed out the image, the flower came out more red-toned. Hand embroidery around the petal edges. Mounted on paper a friend made for me out of mesh layered over gold-toned paper. Dried orchid flowers. Frame re-used from Goodwill Industries.

There are 18,000 animal and plant species newly discovered this past year. This one is my favorite of the 10 featured in the online article.
The Artistic Pufferfish
Scientific name: Torquigener albomaculosus
Elaborate circles with geometric designs have cropped up on the seafloor off the coast of Japan’s Amami-Oshima Island, a la Signs , for the past 20 years. Scientists finally solved the mystery—the circles are created by a newly discovered pufferfish. The male pufferfish drag themselves across the sand to create these nests with the hope that they’ll attract female pufferfish. The ridges formed in the sand reduce the ocean current in the circle’s center to offer some protection to eggs that ... read more |
