I'm not sure this turned out as well as I envisioned it in my mind, but since I spent a lot of time working on it, I had to show it anyway.
Who,
what,
where,
and why?
I think it loses something without the letter W in the word, even though the "W" is the big plastic letter.
I tried to keep the words colorful and the black "W" part of the background.
As I previously mentioned, even though I spent a long time on this, it didn't turn out as well as I envisioned it in my head.
The words were computer generated, printed on 110 lb card stock on my laser printer, then colored using water soluble crayons, a Christmas gift from 2 years ago from
Cindy.
For Day 22 of 22 leading up to bEARTHday which is today, or Earth Day, I began with a large letter I truly found in a dumpster of a frame shop that had gone out of business. I was able to dig out enough of these letters to fill a box. None however were vowels, so I could never create a word.
The wood to which I attached it?
It came from my neighbor's trailer that he parked in my yard.
Thank you for following along with me on this 22 day quest. I had planned to make a few brooches, but time got away from me. I'll be back later today with T and a final recycled project. I'll probably be late because several friends have a few things planned for me.

what a great way to reuse these letters!
love how you used the water soluble crayons on there and kept the rest black.
Happy Birthday to you!!!
I hope your day is magical and filled with fun.
Happy Birthday Elizabeth! I don't know what you were aiming for but this looks 'W'onderful!!Hope you have a lovely day full of surprises!Hugs,Chrisx
Happy Birthday, hope your day is magical.
I love that giant W,and the way you added color with questions we often ask and kudos for getting it on a find! It's amazing the treasures we can find in unexpected places. Very cool that friends are taking you out to spoil you on your special day, and we can't wait to hear all about it! Happy bEarthday! Hugs...RO
Happy Birthday to you! Love your Who, what, where, why project. You are just so creative and also very good at recycling! I can just see you going through a big dumpster! LOL
It is a fun piece. Those are words journalists used to use in their jobs: now they just quote unnamed sources and rarely bother to verify the information they receive. I saw your latest reply about your other blog problem. I hope you're able to get the email company to give you access to your account: your blog has years of your work on it, and it would be awful if you can't regain control over it. (The thought of that happening to me was very troubling, which is why I tried to provide any help that I could.)
It is a really cool letter. It would b great to turn it into something, and the beauty of this piece is you can always recycle it again. Smile. And I want to wish you a very happy birthday my friend. Hope your bearthday is full of joy and happiness and not frustrations. Maybe (said with wishes in my tone) you will get your blog back today. That would sure be a nice birthday gift. Enjoy. Hugs-Erika
Happy Birthday Elizabeth. I've enjoyed the run up to Earth Day. Your are the Queen of recycled art in my books.
I like this piece. The close-ups lose the impact of the "W" but the full piece is a clear winner.
Doesn't Blogger have a back-up way to enter your account? -a phone number or alternative email addy or something? I hope the problem is settled soon :(
Happy bEARTHday! Love this piece - I think it turned out great. Don’t check your mailbox yet - I’m running late on my BDay wishes - but something will arrive at some point! Have a great day! Xo
I love the W!
Happy Birthday, dear Elizabeth.
Letters out of a dumpster and wood out of this rather ramshackle trailer! - I absolutely love that, Elizabeth. This is true unique recycling.
I'll admit to at first reading ho, hat, here, hy and wondering if it was some mystical message, maybe in Tibetan or in another mysterious language. In fact I quite liked it. But then I did then see the "W" which makes another message entirely and I actually love both.
Is it your birthday today? Happy the rest of your Birthday and hope you have a great year ahead.
Love
Sheila
this is very cool! A standout piece of art for sure. Happy, happy bEarthday to you!!!
