I was so excited to read in the local paper that the Encinitas Library will be mounting an exhibit themed “Reuse, Reinvent, Recycle“… isn’t that our motto! I immediately went online and downloaded an application… after spending the weekend working on a new piece which I might submit! I got the idea from the little rolls I was working on. It started late last year when I got a-bee-in-my-bonnet about recycling toilet paper rolls. (I had done a toilet paper roll project back in high school! In 1974!!!) This time around I am not only recycling the roll but everything that goes on it. I collage and paint and seal! They are all little gems. No two alike. Maybe I am totally nuts, but I think they are really beautiful! So, now I am going to attemp creating giant versions… in hopes of getting into this exhibit!
