this is truly awesome work!!.. but I'd like to know how do you fuse the cereal packaging together to make the surface to paint on?

[TheEcoArtist]

@me2226 The fusing is very dangerous and toxic. First, I use a respirator that has been personally fitted on me by an environmentalist who works with removal of toxic materials. The plastic is heated (which I don't recommend) to fuse together. I have been looking into different glues to achieve the same effect. You might want to explore that instead.

love the woman shown, with all the flowers. what an 'ah-ha' moment! I have so many bits I've been saving, I'll have to paint on them and see how they transition and blend with my style.

[TheEcoArtist]

Great! Love to see what you come up with.

Very beautiful and meaningful work! So innovative. If you have time, check out my current work...the focus is on re-purposing VHS tape into vessels, baskets, and other soft sculpture pieces. Thanks.
