Broken Ceramics = Garden Accoutrements

Reuse
My mom does a lot of pottery-making, and for one reason or another, ends up with a lot of broken shards (or pieces that just didn't turn out right). The best use for them? Garden accessories. Here's a pic of a recent addition to my parents' backyard - a mosaic at the base of a veranda post - mostly made using toss-away pieces.

-Toshio…off to break some dishes…

excellent repurposing!
There is a artist in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis, MN) named Erik Ritter who has a fascinating art idea. The idea is to box up some odds and ends junk, and mail it to him. He will then create a piece of art work, and you have the option of purchasing it, or it goes into his studio collection. Either way, how cool is that?!?!? You can read about him here http://www.mnartists.org/artistHome.do?rid=17681 and his web site is http://www.pskunk.com/ - click on the art link and it will take you to his dejunked project. Very cool stuff! I am very fond of his art work!!! Lora.
I've been saving mine for years... This might just be the inspiration I need to drag 'em out and get to grouting!

My mosaic work is based on recycling- everything from china to stained glass to found objects. Even the furniture I mosaic is rescued and turned into mosaic art objects. I'm happy to take all size scraps of the above off anyone's hands and will be happy to reimburse for shipping cost. Debby at Real Green Goods in Concord, NH turned me on to this website. Keep on recycling everyone! : ) (Check out www.kasthillstudio.com for contact info) Thanks!
