I have torn apart tall table lamps that didn't work and put silk greenery and flowers in them for a vase and I have took apart an old hanging lamp and made a bird cage holder out of it an old door could be cut down and made into a table and old 4 paned windows with or without the glass can be made into a frame for a picture or actually 4 pictures! Or mirrors could be put in place of the windows also an old dresser drawer could be made into a under the bed storage box-just add wheels!! The possiblities are endless-if I knew what u had to work with I could help more-e-mail me if you like!!

Junk can make nice sculptures. Since you are the artist/designer then let your imagination run wild. If you used my ideas, then it would be my art piece and not what you are feeling inside. I have seen some pretty realistic designs like from old shovels and forks that have been made to look like vultures. Pieces from corn planters also can make nice designs. I have seen old crankshafts welded to things to make nice pieces too. Around here I take old wrought iron and shape it and weld it to make things for the lawn. Plant hangers, etc. Even the support for our bird cage I welded from an old bed frame. Sometimes when there is a need it is easiest to think of a useful project. Just let you imagination run wild.

Check out books like these!!! 'The Salvage Sister's Guide to Finding Style in the Street and Inspiration in the Attic' by Kathleen Hackett. And 'Decorating Junk Market Style' by Sue Whitney!
Architectural junk is always fun to work with!
God Bless!

How about a collage using recycled materials. Take apart an old clock...the parts are wonderful. Get a canvas and layer text, parts, anything to do with TIME..

I had a similar project when I was at school. I made funky outfits out of bin bags!! Its surprisingly easy to do and bin bags come in all kinds of colours so you have lots of choice.
