Eco Art: Summer of 2018 6 y
It has been HOT here in S. California; last week it reached 115F, breaking all records. So, here's an art piece reflecting the sun's heat.

Eco Art by mayah (c)2018 ”Summer 2018” 5” X 7” framed
Made from reused paint pallet (unbleached wax paper), hand embroidery. Background paper painted by LFIRE of ”Dreaming a New Reality” blog ( https://www.curezone.org/blogs/f.asp?f=471 )
This piece of art looks rather simple, yet it takes a long time to hand embroider around each paint blob.

I've been watching a number of YouTube videos and listening to Kryon channelings by Lee Carroll* regarding "new physics". This art project is a result; the title is rather "tongue in cheek" reflecting my own quirky sense of humor.

Magazine advertisement of tulips
Eco Art Card for Spring 01 by mayah(c)2018
Took the magazine ad (above), cut out the tulips, glued them onto a piece of reused paint palette,then onto a scrap piece of orange art paper; white card stock paper in the background.
I like how the original magazine tulips ”transformed” after they were outlined with black ink pen, to look almost like they were painted.

I am procrastinating working on a larger art work, as it is giving me trouble, so I'm focusing on smaller art projects for now.
”The State of Our Beingness” Eco Art by mayah(c)2018 10” x 8”
The background paper was hand painted and gifted to me by LFIRE of ”Dreaming a New Reality”.*
The photos are from magazines; Hand embroidery.
Detail of embroidery
The hand embroidery took a loooooong time to do as the stitches are very small, yet I find this to be very relaxing. Used three different shades of embroidery floss all at once to create the right color to match the paint on the background paper.

”Spiral” Eco Art by mayah(c)2018 6” X 6”
This was fun to do. It’s a greeting card mounted onto an old parquet floor tile found in the garage.
The greeting card has gone through three metamorphosis: Originally, the card was made from a piece of napkin stained with excess paint from another art project. On top was a magazine photo of a spiral staircase, with machine embroidery added. I sent the card to a friend who altered it by removing the magazine photo and replacing that with a white cut-out spiral; she sent the card back to me. Then I removed the white cut-out and replaced it ... read more Eco Art:Tiger Spirit/Electronica 6 y

Every now and then I take apart an old piece of Eco Art and make something new with it.
This art piece has gone through several transformations.
Originally, the flowers were from an advertisement--you can see here magazine advertisement flowers, in 3 separate segments. I cut them out, glued them onto cardboard, layered the 3 images over each other, and then glued them onto a cardboard backing and made a refrigerator magnet out of them (I don’t have a photo of the original magnet--lost somewhere on some old computer?) I was surprised to find the same flower photos used in a magazine advertisement a few weeks ago--I cut them out and you see them here. The original ad w ... read more Eco Art: Squirrel's Delight 6 y
Did this fun little project today!
Eco Art by mayah(c)2018 ”Squirrel’s Delight” 7.5” X 9”
This art project started out with the little picture of the squirrel cut from my current month of February 2018 calendar. I thought she was so cute, with her gaze right into the camera lens, that I couldn’t wait for the year to expire before using her picture in an art project.
Yesterday I went to my local thrift store and found this great frame. It’s heavy, made out of resin, with designs of leaves and stems and seed pods; I thought that it would be great to display some of the seed pods I’ve collected from around the neighb ... read more EcoArt:Acrylic Pour Cards 6 y

Friend and fellow artist LFIRE gifted me with a handmade sheet of acrylic ”pour”; to me, the paint crackles and colors swirling about each other remind me of the ocean, sea anenomes and jellies.
Magazine images of coral and coral fish were added to the first card. The patterns on the second card looked so beautiful I didn’t add anything else to it. Background paper is RHIMAX, a 100% recycled paper product.

Collage art with burlap paper
Cleaning up my art area, found a packet of burlap paper I’d bought many years ago. Been having fun making little collages out of magazine pictures, reused pieces of paint palette, and embellished with hand embroidery. All framed pieces are 7” X 5”; frames were found at a local thrift store:

Found this unfinished piece of art work from a few years ago--decided to keep it as is and just frame it
I recently found this piece of art work from 2014 hidden under a bunch of stuff on my art table. It was sitting inside a cardboard container with skeins of embroidery floss. I’d intended to make more embroidered flowers on it but never got around to it. Looking at it, the decision was made to leave it as is. Glued it onto a scrap piece of off white art paper, and used the piece of cardboard packaging it had been sitting in for a ”frame”; added a braided jute hanger. Done!

A little art project from beeswax and recycled materials
A number of years ago, my friend from ”Plant Your Dream” blog,* Your Enchanted Gardener, gave me some candles made from organic beeswax. Along with the gift came a small chunk of natural beeswax, as seen above. Because it is old, it’s starting to crumble and deteriorate. If you look closely, you can see the tiny hexagons that comprise the wax.
I recently found this little photo of a bee in an old calendar; it inspired me to make an art piece using a small wooden ”frame” that I’d been given by another friend, LFIRE from ”Dreaming a New Reality” blog.** She’d given me an old 4.5” ... read more Eco Art: Cards and Placards 6 y
Making art daily, small projects such as greeting cards and placards from recycled materials
Every year the real estate agents come around my neighborhood and deliver door-to-door note pads with their advertisements on them. The note paper is used for making shopping and ”to do” lists.
When the paper is used up, the cardboard backing is saved to use for art. The 8.5” X 3.5” placards below are the result; they are just the right size to fit into a regular business-sized envelope for mailing:
Placard ”Water” front; cardboard covered with reused bubble wrap; word and photo from a magazine advertisement;hand embroidery around the edges
