Art:New Life for Old MaGs
(EarthSpirit)
Giving new life to old faded Eco MaGs. What's a MaG? A mini work of art that has a sheet of magnet on the back, so it can hang on the 'frig. These are made of recycled materials.

These are Eco MaGs I made a number of years ago; they were up on my refrigerator and the sunlight coming through the skylight faded some of the colors.
Over the years I've learned that certain colors of paper and magazine ink don't hold up well in sunlight, such as dark blue (fades to light purple), green (fades to blue) and some oranges (fades to yellow) so every now and then I revise old faded MaGs by either giving them new background papers of fade-resistant colors or in the case of these 3 magnets, I painted over the background papers with acrylic paints, so they should last a long time.
Eco Art and Eco MaGs by mayah utilize reused/recycled components and earth-friendlier materials.
