Carme Magem- Collage artist
Awesome collage artist, Carme Magem, uses recycled materials, newspaper and oil paint to create captivating pieces! Her latest work is based around the cinema, featuring glamorous stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn. I love the glamorous women and texture the collage creates!

Fumage Painting
Steven Spazuk creates "paintings" with soot from the flame of a candle or torch, which is then scrapped away to sculpt or draw delicate images out of the spontaneous shapes. Wow! First the delicate soot shapes and then the intricately detailed scrappings. Kinda similar to one of my favourite techniques, charcoal and eraser..

Similarly to Danny Sherwin who "paints with gunpowder" before lighting it. Usually wildlife gunpowder paintings on canvas and wood, which leaves a burn mark.

Em's recycled Bags
There are so many cute ideas for upcycling to create bags! I made this cute tote from an unwanted but funky t-shirt. I have also made a bag from cargo pants similar to this one, but didn't take a photo.
Fold-up bag
I have had these 2 pillow cases for a while to make something with. I love the pattern. I made reusable bags using this style. I really liked the idea of the button and elastic closure of this style bag so incorporated that into it. I tried to make it as easy as possible to fold as I gave them to my aunties.
Other bag tutorials/ideas:

| Lego bag- Definitely to make when we have kids! Becomes a toy mat that can be drawn up into a bag! |

ComboPhotos
Professional photographer and Art director Stephen McMennamy has created these ComboPhotos using two images stitched together to create new meaning or something that has to be looked at twice! So clever! I want to have a go!
