Eco Art: "Feathers and Seed Pods" by mayah(c)2016 9" X 7"
Eco Art: "Eagle and Feathers" by mayah(c)2016 approximately 9" X 7"
Eco MaGs by mayah(c)2016 Each approximately 1.5" in diameter
Eco Art pieces are made from reused paint palette, found feathers and seed pods, thread scraps, junk jewelry, acrylic glaze, reused magazine photo, reused frames from local thrift store, recycled bottle caps and cardboard for MaGs.
"Eagle and Feathers" has the found seed pods glued to the outside of the frame. The picture of the eagle is reused from an NRDC* newsletter, pasted on cardboard scrap; he is flying on the outside of the glass and sticks out for a bit of a 3-D effect. The eagle photo was initially used on another piece of art that didn't hold up well so he found a new home on this art piece.
I had some left-over paint palette circles after making "Eagle and Feathers" so turned these into MaGs with sturdy magnet backings to hang on the 'frig.
Eco Art and Eco MaGs by mayah utilize recycled components and earth-friendlier materials whenever possible.
