One man’s trash is another man’s treasure

One man's trash is another man's treasure.
After sharing with our teachers about Pinterest recently at school, I’ve been sending pics of artwork I come across to my art teacher via Pinterest. (Check out Diane Cordell’s pin board on this topic.) Annually we weed books to make room on our crowded shelves and get rid of old, ugly, outdated books. Some fo these books are just downright filled with what is now misinformation, and it would be wrong to do anything other ethan toss them. My art teacher (Susan E.) loves to explore options for art projects–truly one man’s trash is another man’s treasure to her. So I’m delighted to share an exploration into an art project from a set of our discarded, weeded books. Beautiful!! She has others in her room the classes are working on, so I’m thinking it’s time to go down there and have a look. I love when we inspire one another with the smallest of things, even weeded books.
