Recycled Art for Earth Day

We had an art contest at work and I made this. It is done on a secondhand canvas and the mosaic is done with magazines pieces and other scraps of paper. It is my version of a piece of art by Sandhi Schimmel. It is hard to photograph because of the shine of the magazine pages.  I won first place! She is pretty striking. Maybe even a little eerie.

I entered into a challenge at http://doodleartifacts.blogspot.com/ with it.  Check it out!
