Carmen, over at
Bad Dog Frida, had asked me to put together some magnet sets for a Greyhound rescue event they are attending this weekend in Milwaukee. As well as the magnets, I wanted to create something else for her to offer.
Remember these
bad boys. A set of 6 kitchen cabinet doors that a neighbor left on the curb.
The bevel is a perfect frame. So after a base coat of primer...it became a nice blank canvas
Three dimensional, surreal, and 100 % recycled. I did not buy one little thing for this piece. The clouds are batting from a jewelry box that I starched to make a little firmer. The floating bones are from a scrap piece of decorative paper.
....and the dog image is constructed using pages of an old dictionary. Loyal, greyhound and dog are just a few of the definitions.
A bit reminiscent on a Simpson's opener or maybe I was channeling Magritte. Either way I love this little hound and hope he goes to a good home. So many of these dogs have just been discarded or are thought to have no other use. Fitting that this piece proves most things are a little better when they are given a second life.
