Eco Art: "Spirit Owl" by mayah (c)2012

This was an Eco MaG that I decided to refurbish and frame. The piece is attached to the front of the frame so it can "stick out" in 3-D effect, rather than be put behind the glass. The rippled cardboard is packaging from an old light bulb--they don't make light bulb packaging this way anymore and I miss it!  The background photo of the forest from a calendar is wrapped with plastic from packaging; the owl sits on top of the plastic and sticks up for a bit of 3-D effect.

Eco Art: "Meditation" by mayah (c)2012

This one is a companion piece to "Three Buddhas": http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1924123
Picture is a collage from three different catalog advertisements. The picture is wrapped with reused shrinkwrap and sits on top of a silver candy bar wrapper-covered piece of corrugated cardboard so it has a "3-D" effect of sticking up from the backing. It's hard to see the candy bar wrapper as the photo makes the piece look flat; if you look carefully on the left side of the collage picture you can spot a bit of silver.

Both pieces are made primarily from reused materials: photos from calendars/magazines/catalogs; plastic and shrinkwrap from packaging; candy bar wrapper; corrugated and other cardboard; reused frames from Goodwill Industries. Construction paper, nontoxic glue.
