Creating Mixed Media Art From Junk Treasures

A few years ago I started putting some of my reclaimed junk treasures together and calling them Angels of Reclaim.

{ Angels of Reclaim }

There are several names for this type of “art”…. assemblage art …. mixed media art …… junk salvage art….etc. I don’t think of it as art. I just think of it as putting my junk treasures together. I guess I can call it junk treasure art.

I started making a few of these angels over the weekend.

I gathered some of my junky things, vintage hardware, and odds & ends to work with. I have crates of this stuff! I know you’re jealous. Or maybe you’re thinking “who would collect this stuff!”

The JTS helped out by cutting up some reclaimed wood for me. You guys know that I’m not a fan of the table saw. Maybe if I used it I would get over being afraid of it?

I have all this wood to work with now. I did finish one of the angels. I hope to get photos and share my new “old” angel with you tomorrow. I also gave them a new name. No more “Angel of Reclaim”.

I worked on my Fall wreath yesterday too. We’re having a Fall Ideas Tour next week. Four days of fun with wreaths, mantels, tablescapes, and thrifty crafts. I get to unveil the wreath next Wednesday.

Did you know yesterday was Grandparents Day? Me either until our sweet Sofi called to wish us a happy day. She is the sweetest thing…..sometimes. If you’re a grandparent I hope you had a happy day and if you are a grandchild I hope you called your grandparents. I wish my grandparents were still here. I miss them.

Until tomorrow, Kathy
