RECLAMATION ART

Many have asked what exactly is it that I do...

I used the saying "Mixed Media art" for a while

but it is not really what I felt explained how I

take old things and repurpose them with my art.

Some times I repaint, add papers, pour resin, add

glass, Sometimes I actually do artist painting.

I never know how something will turn out until it is 

in my hands. Sometimes I think about the person I am making

it for, sometimes I don't know who will be the new owner.

So I was talking/texting with the boo and explained

my dilemma. Asked him to help me explain what I do

and in almost minutes, he came up with:

RECLAMATION ART

and continued with the definition:

THE ART OF MAKING OLD THINGS BEAUTIFUL

Wow! Could not have said it better myself.

Below is just some of the many things I have made and

sold. The boo and I are always hunting for things I can use

to repurpose, reclaim....

Keep me in mind when looking for that unusual gift needed,

Let me know an idea you have and I will roll with it.

Most importantly, follow this blog as I try and make

it updated and part of my advertisement.

Thanks, Boo for the great Name, 

MUMSIE'S RECLAMATION ART:

THE ART OF MAKING OLD THINGS BEAUTIFUL.

I also make hand made cards, all my cards are empty inside.

That is on purpose, Why you ask? 

Because the written word is leaving us and I want my cards

all to have a love note added by the purchaser.

Also, I am cheaper than Hallmark and each is hand done.

Hit me up with what you need,

knowing your words to the giver will make these cards more special!

 I love, love, love making journals.

Again, not enough of us are writing, journaling for

the future. Leave something for those you love,

journal for yourself, one of the healthiest things out there.

This one I made for my dear Ange' who is soon to have

a sweet baby girl, I explained to her...

You must begin her story, so she will know all you think 

and feel now and as she grows.

Order a few, I love making them!

More soon as I plan on making this blog updated with those things

I have for sale.

Please follow this blog as the more followers I have

the more my art gets noticed.

To end on a touching note,

like would it be me if I didn't???

A few days ago, i received a private message from

a mother whose daughter had ordered a frame from me

for the loss of a loved one.

a portion of her message:

HEY SWEET LADY!

SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO SAY THIS...

...THANK YOU FOR THE BEAUTIFUL FRAME YOU

MADE FOR______.

THE FAMILY ABSOLUTELY LOVES IT!

YOU DEFINITELY HAVE A KNACK FOR CAPTURING

THE PEOPLE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW LOVED.

YOU COULD HAVE USED MANY THINGS ON

THE FRAMES BUT YOU MANAGED TO CHOOSE

THE PERFECT THINGS...

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU SO VERY

MUCH FOR SHARING WITH OUR FAMILY 

YOUR TALENT.

GOD BLESS YOU!"

That there is one of the many reasons I do what I do.

Nothing better than that!

Love from Mummies' Cottage!
