Etsy Finds Friday - Reclaim2Fame

It's *♥*Etsy Finds Friday*♥*

Today I am featuring the

Reclaimed Artwork

 Created by:

Reclaim2Fame

About the Artist:

Will Wagenaar has been a professional artist since 1972. Starting in visual merchandizing management with a major Midwest retail chain, he learned at an early age to turn anything into something else. An interior design degree was next at Harrington Institute in Chicago.  1980 was the beginning of a successful mural painting business, creating wonderful walls for prestigious residences and major corporations in cities across the country.  In 1993 he opened a very experimental storefront on Miami Beach where he twisted all manner of found materials into new usable objects and fine art. A couple of years later the concept expanded to The Miami Design District. That larger workshop and gallery showcased over a dozen artist's work in reclamation art. Furnishings of all types, home accessories and fine art were displayed. Everything in the gallery was made of at least 80% recycled materials.  Those two stores are long gone but not the passion for reclamation art. Now living on the Gulf Coast of Florida, he feels like he might just be getting started. Etsy has opened a new world of possibilities for this well seasoned artist.

 Lovely with Mindful Thoughts and Curiosities

By: Grey Mornings

Hello and thank you for visiting with me. My name is "Lovely" and I too live in the Greylands among the mindful thoughts.  Mindful Thought: Live the lovely life you've always wanted. Life is short, forgive quickly, kiss slowly, love truly, laugh uncontrollably, and never regret anything that made you smile.

 

Quilted Steampunk Necklace

By: ARTiFAX

This steampunk inspired necklace is handcrafted from polymer clay. It has many details including a tiny key dangling from the pendant, a leather strap made from clay, and polymer clay screws. The chain is a mixture of various chains and elements put together by me to form one lovely and unique necklace with a lobster clasp. The necklace can be adjusted to a shorter length.

Fredrick the Owl Ornament

 By: Whimsical Creations by Melanie

Hoot Hoot ~  Fredrick is made of polymer clay.  He measures 1.5 inches tall.  (If you would prefer a different color combo, don't hesitate to ask... I can make him in pretty much any color you would like)

Polymer Clay Brooch with Recycled Vintage Earring

By: Billi's Paper Batiks

Polymer clay brooch made with a recycled vintage earring as the centerpiece. This is a statement brooch and a piece of wearable art titled, "Springtime Fan". This pin is entirely original and OOAK.  The vintage earring is originally from a pair of quality costume jewelry earrings made in the 1960's. It is a clear 3" Bakelite tear drop shaped finding with iridescent flakes and a large rhinestone in the center bottom. The round cabochon at the top is 18mm and the background of polymer clay can be seen through it.  The brooch has been sanded and buffed to a high gloss finish. There is no paint used, all color is polymer clay. A sturdy pin finding with safety latch has been adhered to and secured with a layer of baked polymer clay. I use Sculpey III and Premo polymer clay.

A Steampunk Turtle and a Baby Elephant!

We have several challenges each month on the Polymer Clay Enthusiasts Team (PCETeam) on Etsy, and one of them is a 'Stretch Yourself' challenge.  For the month of May the "Stretch Yourself" PCETeam challenge is 'Steampunk' and I had so much fun creating this little Steampunk Turtle!  (I listed both the Turtle and the Elephant below, in my Etsy Shop today.)

I was very inspired the last few days and enjoyed some creative time in my studio... Until a bee chased me outside!  LOL! I'm not sure how that bee got inside, but it was big!!  Izzie tried to catch the bee, which only made it buzz around more... So outside we went, thinking the bee would settle down and I could take care of it later.  The weather was so beautiful today, it was nice to get some fresh air between finishing up the turtle above, dodging the bee and finishing this little baby elephant below.
