After seeing the the empty wall at SCRAP, I decided it was time to create an ultimate creative reuse found objects collage. I collected small bits, toys, caps, lids, buttons, etc. and sorted them by colors of the rainbow. After gluing all of my pieces on, and finally coating with a clear coat to prevent dis coloring. I delivered it to SCRAP tonight at their new location on SW 18th and Alder in Portland, Oregon. The piece is 24″x34″ approximately.
