household junk wanted

[Miss Maya Blue]

As some of you know, aside from SP'ing my interest includes art.

I am primarily a painter but have started making assemblage work too.
Assemblage involves taking everyday objects and combining them in a way that is interesting, often in such a way that they objects become unrecognizable in their new context. Ive been having a lof of fun with it.
Though my studio is beginning to look like a garage sale.


I'm looking for donations of

~altoid tins or similar
~rusty circular saw/skill saw blades (i am dying for a few of these. when was the last time you made a girl grin ear to ear offering her a rusty sawblade? nows your chance. im easy to please.)
~chandeliers in any condition
~trophies
~rusty gears bits and pieces
~old nails & other hardware
~small appliances that are not working (especially irons, stereos, speakers, computers)
~old wood & wood trim
~old frames, especially small frames (without glass is fine)
~small boxes
~any sheet metal

any donations are appreciated!
While I don't own a car I can arrange for pick up if your stash is substantial. Otherwise I am downtown, and happy to meet somewhere mutually convienent.

save your junk from ending up in an landfill, meet me (you know you want to ) and help a local artist out at the same time....

I wish I lived in a world where the reprecussions of linking my real world identity, and my SP identity were few...but I know it to be otherwise.

While it would be fun to share some of my work publically, it really isn't wise.

here are a few examples of assemblage art though, for those interested. My work is very different, but it shows you what can be done with bits and pieces....

you might want to look at freecycle.org and go to the freecycle group for your area and post your wanted ad there (sometimes you have to offer something first but it depends on the group), you'll likely get more 'junk' than you can handle and the possibilities are endless!

 

[Miss Maya Blue]

brilliant idea! thanks...
