About Me

I am an artist/engineer/mom/gardener/recycler/ dumpsterdiver. I make most of my mailart, and collages from dumpster treasures we find around this area. The whole family is seriously into resource rescue, and creative re-use. I love collage, painting, drawing, all colors, architecture, archeology, Asian art and design, nature, animals of all sorts, photography, mailart, book arts, paper arts, printmaking, eraser carving, etc. Check out my garbage art swapbot, postcrossing, and mailart cards on flickr.

Please don't buy anything to send me in a swap...I would prefer to get something you made or found. My artwork is 99% Garbage. I use dumpster treasures ( books, magazines, calendars, etc. ) to make my collages, and to make things I will be sending out. There is a wonderful feeling from saving an old book from the trash, and turning it into an artwork. The path to simple living on this planet...Reduce...Re-use..Recycle.

I would love it, if you made something out of recycled goods too, or send me something you found or made or recycled.

Our Motto #1: The Dumpster will Provide.

Our Motto #2: All things come to those who dive.

Comment: Wow! what an amazing job! and you made the PC from my interests, that's so cool! PS - don't worry about that looong equation; most of the time it collapses down to only a few figures long.

Comment: Thanks for the great PC ~ I really like the composition and the embelishments. I used to live in Riverside so was used to quakes but it was a BIG surprise when we had one here ~ I was in Michaels and they made everyone leave ~ phones were out and think most places kept people out of the businesses for about half an hour ~ I just came home and called it day! Thanks again for the great PC!

Checked out your Flickr. WOW!
FarStarr on Sep 6, 2011:

Thank you for the birthday wishes. We DO need to have an us day together sometime!

Got your postcard today for the second part of the Supply Chain swap - I love it! Thank you!
MissiveMaven on Aug 12, 2011:

Carroll, I forget that not everyone is familiar with common yiddish expressions, because they are bandied about with such abandon in my family. "Plotz" means to burst with strong emotion, in this context most fabulously so. :-) very good thing.
MissiveMaven on Aug 1, 2011:

Hey Carroll - I'm psyched you're my partner for the Monster postcard swap! I know I said on the swap page "only do handmade if your partner specifically states that they really like handmade postcards" -- YOUR handmade postcards are the bomb. Send whatever you want and I know I'll love it!

valkyr on Jul 8, 2011:

Hi Carroll! I saw you Flickr and love the things you make. :-) Recycled art is the best.
studiomnivorous on Dec 31, 2010:

Hey friend! If you're up for an online challenge, check out the new swap I posted =)

Hope you are well!
