Art from a bag of junk

This is for a swap organised by Liz - we each had to send off a bag of junk to someone and they make art from it and send it back. Lisa Vollrath does a similar thing here, look under bags of inspiration.

Anyway, here's the junk I received from Elaine:

And here it is after I've had my way with it (these are just sneaks - I'd like Elaine to be the first to see it):

Note the heavy DeMeng influence. I must say, Michael has been incredibly influential in my art - has he had that effect on anyone else? The money I paid to do his class in early February was the best investment that I ever made.

Thanks for looking!
