Salvage Flowers

salvage: to rescue or save, especially from wreckage or ruin

Each piece is made up of bits, pieces, and things from the bin and gathered from nearly everywhere. Many boxes and totes are in the studio with things that I know I can do something with. During painting or resining I want to use every bit of it and the leftovers are often so pretty.

Here dried paint from my palette makes petals and stems. Resin drips back painted to make leaves. Background made up of tissue paper from gifts, washi tape, patterned envelope and some acrylic paint to age the pieces ever so slightly.
