Funky Wearable Art Tote Number Two is Finished and Ready to Wear

I'm having so much fun making these adorable wearable art bags. This one's smaller than the last one. It looks perfect for a little girl (or big girl!) who wants something artsy, fun and unique!

Recycled Wood Assemblage Early Snow Laundry Day

I saw something similar to this on Etsy and was inspired to create my own. I had so much fun finding the perfect elements to include. The entire piece was made from recycled materials. I grabbed the old rusted screen from the shed. My dad gave me some pieces of wood years ago and they were just sitting around waiting to begin a new life. The tin roof and door were cut from a recycled tin can, spray painted and distressed. Those rusty screws? I pulled them out of an old fence a neighbor threw on the curbside. I rescued the wood from the fence too of course and used one piece of it for the base. The snow covered tree was a leftover from a Christmas project. I've called the piece "Early Snow". 

What do you think? Have I inspired you to create your own art assemblage?
