Upcycle that junkmail

So cool! More of an actual mosaic style with the little squares than I usually do in my paper mosaic – collages. I have to try this!!!
S A Schimmel Gold is an eco-conscientious artist that strives to create something from nothing. “Look closely for menu items, junk mail postcards, business cards, old greeting cards, cruise itineraries, gallery openings… stand back to view the sum of the parts – a textural representation of beauty.” Living by the old eco adage “creating not wasting” Schimmel has perfected the fine art of portraiture using upcycled “bits” to create colorful mosaics.
Schimmel saw the explosion of color in mundane articles such as junk mail and advertisements and saw an easy and free source of color to work with.
