Greetings from scrap

[frothozone]

I was just wondering if the thrown out little scrap materials can be used to make some greetings cards for this New Year. Craft ideas come flocking to my mind on this, but I am not sure what should be a nice dimension for the cards to make them presentable.

I once saw a glued textile "painting" on the wall at an IBM facility that looked like, ummm, well, ... anyway, someone bought it.

Seriously the idea of scrap being used gets attention from a lot of different creative sources. I know a group in Tucson called BICAS that uses old bicycle parts to weld together to make art. The kids made a dinosaur that was pretty darned attractive.

Of course, scrap wax and wicks and wood or shredded paper seems to do a good job at making firestarters for campfires and fire places.

I'm sure you will find something unique.
