New Art

On Wednesday, May 17 I left a new piece in locker 95 at the YMCA. It was a bookmark made from an old xray, with a sticker that looks like a postage stamp and some type on it. I tried to photograph it but it was hard to get the detail to show up.
Also, on Friday, May 19 I tied a piece to a tree branch between TJ Max and Ross and I left one in a shopping cart at Aldi. They were the same as the one with the baby on it that I have posted here.
Please leave a comment if you found any of these pieces.
Blessings

Did You Find These?

I just left my first Found Art for someone to find. Today I left two pieces in different places. One was placed in a shopping cart at Kroger in Columbia, Tennessee. The other was left in locker number 83 at the Maury County YMCA.
The first was a card that I created on Photoshop by scanning an old photo that I have and adding different elements. The second was a refrigerator magnet that I made by scanning a collage that my son made several years ago. I've always enjoyed the image and I hope that whoever finds it does too.
I will be looking for your comments when you find them.
Have a blessed day!

Welcome to the World of Found Art!

If you're visiting this site, you have probably just found a piece of Found Art. I hope that it has brightened your day. Please leave a comment and let me know where you found your piece of art. The Found Art idea is spreading around the world. Why not make your own art and spread the joy? There is an artist hiding in every one of us.

Found Art! (found-art.com) was born a year ago, the result of artist Sharon Vogt's desire "to do something positive" after Sept. 11 — or, at the very least, make someone somewhere smile.

"Creativity and art is very healing and uplifting," says Vogt, of Madison, Wis., whose day job is writing math textbooks. "I wasn't finding a place in the political realm to change the world, and I wanted to be for something rather than against."

Vogt, 40, is for spreading art around, so that's just what the 1,000 artists and crafters around the world who have joined the project are trying to do. They make small artworks — sculpted figures, booklets of drawings, decorated mailing labels, collaged postcards and CDs, sidewalk chalk drawings, even "fairy houses" made by kids and tied to trees — and "release them into the wild." They leave them at public places such as park benches, library shelves, hospital waiting rooms, grocery bulletin boards and malls.

Those who find the artworks can keep them, throw them away or leave them someplace else. And they can go to the Found Art! site to leave comments about what they found and how it made them feel.
