Eco MaG by mayah(c)2016 "Phoenix" 2" X 2"
"Phoenix" side view
Small magnet made from reused dried tea bags as background coated with non-VOC acrylic glaze over a 2 inch square art canvas; a metallic phoenix icon, and amber and gold colored junk jewelry pieces; magnet backing, non toxic glues.
I get impatient waiting for glue to dry when making art, so while working on the magnet, the two pieces below were made, the work rotating between them as they each in turn were drying.
Eco Art by mayah(c)2016 "Thread Sampler" approximately 2.5" X 10" (not counting threads at the bottom and sides)
Before sewing anything on the machine, I like to test out the stitch length and type on a scrap piece of paper. The green stitch sampler was lying around on my art table and I thought it would be fun to make an art piece out of it; additional stitches were added to it and the threads were left on to dangle. It is glued on top of a piece of light bulb packaging on top of a scrap piece of brown wrapping paper; buttons and machine stitching around the edges were added; backed with sturdy Rhimax 100% recycled brown paper. It's shown here hanging from the lamp that illuminates my art table.

Side view
Made from found nature objects: a piece of dried palm leaf and a curly-cued seed pod, both coated with acrylic glaze to add sheen and strength. The polar bear and eagle images are reused magazine photos from OnEarth (Natural Resources Defense Council http://www.nrdc.org/ ) backed with reused cardboard. Leather hanger. approximately 3" X 7"
Eco Art by mayah utilizes reused and earth-friendlier materials.
