“Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.”
Do you ever look at a dryer sheet as you throw it in the trash bin and wonder if you could do something fun with it?

This is the reference tool and guide that holds your hand through the process of expanding your creative repertoire to see the possibilities in the unexpected as a starting point.
This book will help you begin your very own environmentally sustainable art practice and place yourself in the elite category of the new class of artist the world is seeking now.
Do you hesitate as you toss a candy wrapper in there, and think - oooh! Shiny! Maybe I should save it?
I’ve been working with non-recyclables and household litter for many years in my art practice, materials that would otherwise end up in the landfill or worse, as a part of climate pollution. Through my research I’ve learned that they are difficult or even impossible to recycle, which gives me more incentive to use them in my art.
Sharing these discoveries with you is my duty as I believe everyone should be able to use this trash as free art material and create art for the earth. In this book are the ideas and techniques I use in my own art practice.
