Recycled Art

Making gifts has helped to clear my holiday fogginess. My bahumbug disappears when I’m using my heart and hands to make gifts. My inspiration came from a co-op art gallery in Joshua Tree. Instead of shopping, I’m putting my collection of odds and ends to good use. I cut up my torn sarong and used the beads from my broken jewelry to make wall-hangings for my parents and sister. Voila – recycled art! My sarong invokes strong memories of the tsunami. It was very healing to turn it into something beautiful.
