2017 Topic 7: Found Objects Ali Clifford Well hello everyone, Darcy here with the latest topic, this time we are scavenging, recycling, treasure hunting and re-purposing. Our new challenge is all about 'found objects' and using them in art. This means not not using things that are intended for art, but instead looking around you and creating art with what you can find. Interest in found objects is not new, but instead can be traced back to the 16th century. Items were displayed in private 'curiosity cabinets' these items were not used in art though until the 19th century. The name is a literal translation from the French, objet trouvé, this referred to objects that had non art functions that were then transferred into an art context. This led to a small art movement known as 'the readymade' Picasso used bits of a woven chair on his canvas, Degas used real tutu fabric on his ballerinas. Scour your attics, old toy boxes, sheds and garages, keep an eye out when walking in the park or the beach. You would not believe how many lost shoe buckles I have picked up in car parks! Maria Fantastic papers can be made by stamping with found objects, we will look at a few examples, but I wonder, what have you got in your cupboards and drawers that you could try stamping or painting with? As for painting, why use brushes? what could you use instead. Embellishments too can be found, broken jewellery, disassembled clocks, ornaments, clothing. Pretty soon your eye will be caught by any little object left behind by others, looking at it in a new light, wondering what you can make. So much fun can be had trying to make things fit, so who is up for a bit of Wombling? Before we start, let's see who won the Topic 6: Resin and UTEE Challenge... The winner of Resin and UTEE is: Claire from Claire's Crafty Makes Email Darcy to claim your prize. [email protected] So, to begin any project we need to create a base, with paper crafts we generally start with painted or patterned papers. So let's see some fabulous examples of how those can be created with all kinds of weird and wonderful objects. Just look at these beautiful delicate flower prints, made with real flowers! Robin Clement There are lots of packaging elements that can be used with ink and paint, bubblewrap is a great one but I adore these hearts, who knew the humble loo roll tube could print so well. Tammy Have you tried bubble art? washing up liquid and inks and a straw can all be 'found' in your house, blow some bubbles and create gorgeous paper. Yaser What about food printing, the thought of this always makes me smile, and takes me back to childhood potato prints. This corn on the cob makes a great repeating pattern. This next one is stunning, I can't believe it is a vegetable print. BTW I have no idea what Treviso radicchio is but I feel the need to find one! Martha Stewart Watch how this painting comes to life just using cotton buds. Now you have your painted backgrounds, time for some embellishments. A really effective and inexpensive way to make embellishments is to use clay, specifically paper clay. However you usually need a mould, but what about instead of pressing the clay into a mould, you just press something into the clay? Glue buttons to the end of corks and you have ready made stamping tools, they are really effective in clay. Martha Stewart Now you can cover your cards or canvasses, wrap boxes and begin to build. use your embellishments and found treasures, what amazing creations can you come up with? Remember that walk to the beach, look at this lovely arrangement of seaside memories. Are you ever lucky to find sea glass, the prettiest things can be made from those little pieces of tumbled glass. Crafting timeout I adore these hanging pieces, found glass,, pieces of driftwood and twine, simple and effective. Eliza Martinez A quick trip to your garage can yield some special trinkets, combine these with your hand made embellishments, perhaps paper beads made with your printed papers and create jewellery. Joan W For something a little smaller how about a mixed media playing card, paint it with found objects and then arrange more 'treasures' on top. You will never see a paper clip in the same way again! Claudia Neubacher Perhaps you wish to just display your found objects, printers trays are perfect for this, but on a smaller scale a box frame works really well. Julia Mckenzie How about something a little fishy? how cool do those reclaimed, rusty washer look! Jackie Or go all out and create a masterpiece by recreating a classic painting. You really need to open this image up, when you see what is there you will be amazed. Jane Perkins I have to end with this one, it really made me chuckle. From a distance it looks great, really detailed, colourful and intriguing.. and obviously a coral reef. until you get closer... Lynn Aldrich ...and you see it is made from kitchen scrubbies! Follow the link in her name to see lots more. So much fun don't you think? so many ways to use found objects from colouring your paper and fabric to making embellishments right through to creating full pieces of art. I can't wait to see how you transform your carefully hoarded rubbish treasure into works of art. Don't forget to follow Darcy and Leandra's Pinterest boards if this topic pushes your buttons, you will see plenty more examples to whet your appetite there!

Do you have a piece in your paper collection that you just can't bear to use? Well this is mine, it doesn't matter how perfect the paper would fit with the piece I am working on, I just can't use it because I know later on I will regret it when something even more perfect comes up. It is a yellowed page from an ancient nature book from my grandmothers collection. Anyway, feel free to print this and use it if you like.

This variety is shipped pre-bloom so you get to enjoy the whole bloom cycle! Care info card included with every order. Choose how many you want in your set at checkout. Specials on pricing! Blooms soon. They bloom a pink/red tip and blooms a purple spike as shown in photos. tillandsia ionantha rubra Ranges from 3”-4” long and about 1”-2”wide at the widest part of the plant. The Light pink/White Sea urchin shell is 1”-2” diameter. Larger sizes are available in my other listings. These sea urchin "Jellyfish" are a wonderful addition to any outdoor or indoor living area! Great as a gift or for lighting up a room. Care info included. The sea urchin "shells"/tests are all hand dipped in a hardening solution (a non toxic water and glue treatment) to make them not as fragile. Gift wrap and gift note options are available at checkout. Air Plant care info: Available, not direct, bright sunlight. However, air plants can gradually get used to direct sunlight over time. Just make sure you’re watering it. Avoid direct sun in high afternoon light(Around 11am-3pm) Bright lit rooms Mist well with FILTERED or rain water 2-3 times per week. Shake off all excess water. If it’s dry where you are you can soak it for 15 mins twice a month. Shake out excess water. Make sure to let the air plant dry within the hour, regardless of how you water it. That is important! Once the bloom is over, the air plant will produce baby air plants that will continue to grow into larger plants. Once the baby plants have reached a 1/3 size of the initial “Mother plant” you may pinch them off at the roots (harvest them) and you have new air plants!! Or leave them on (I prefer this) and it will cluster and you have the chance of seeing multiple blooms off of the mother plant. These are amazing living plants that I’ve become fascinated with and they’re very easy to take of. Many different varieties are available, please look at my other listings!
