Reclaiming The Rock

I love living in Little Rock, Arkansas. It's a great city! One-of-a-kind places are right around every corner. The people are friendly and full of new ideas. And the views are spectacular! It's one of the South's best kept secrets, if you ask me.

Tonight, I hung out with a group of folks who also love this city. We came together to raise money for a non-profit organization called Keep Little Rock Beautiful. Local businesses and artists donated various items to be auctioned off, with all proceeds benefitting the important work KLRB does in this community. Here was my contribution to that auction:

It's called "Reclaiming The Rock," a play on words describing the reclaimed and recycled items I used to create this piece. I began by gluing together 8 large pieces of cardboard to make a 19x27 inch "canvas," of sorts. Then, I decoupaged remnants of fabric, newspaper, grocery bags, used duct tape, and dried rosemary to make a picture of Downtown Little Rock (aka "The Rock," as it has been nicknamed). For the 4 edges of the piece, I glued small, rectangular strips of cardboard in a shingle-type pattern. I'm very proud of it and I hope the winning bidder will enjoy if!

If you live in the Little Rock area and you would like to find ways to become a better steward of this community and the precious resources it provides, please visit: www.keeplittlerockbeautiful.com
