I made this card as an example for my craft group in a mental health centre. Card cut from used file cover. Tree torn from used green envelope. Ribbon cut off from an old dress. Gold paper found in trash. And used magazines.
A SIMPLE ACCOUNT OF REUSABLE GOODS FOUND IN THE TRASH, THE SALES, THE KEEPS AND THE TRANSFORMATIONS

The Spinning Wheel
Though it
was not working due to a missing part, as a yarn lover I couldn’t leave this
vintage beauty on the curbs. Not for myself but to find a new home for it. Unfortunately
I didn’t find a buyer so I posted it in a Facebook free pick-up group and soon
found a young textile art student who said she knew people who could help her
fixing the wheel. Her happy face at the door was the best payment after all.
