recycled

posted in Uncategorized |

Late last winter I worked with Maize Hutton designing and creating signs for her recycled silver studio in Butte, Montana.    We managed to complete some very nice work and the sign projects lead the way to create window and studio display cases for her this summer.  One of her ongoing goals is to utilize recycled materials in her work and so that idea was carried through to her displays.  I happened upon some nice chrome rod panel frames at a landfill which became the hardware for her neckboard displays.  I used salvaged lumber from various places in Butte (I’m the village idiot when it comes to this stuff so people are always alerting me to a good stack of discarded wood).  I incorporated the reclaimed wood, some aluminum flat stock and copper and we came up with these displays.  Visit her blog at www.maizehutton.blogspot.com or her e-commerce site www.mommytags.com and see what a recycled silver artist creates!
