In this post I want to share a project I'm doing at this time: a large size canvas art using repurposed materials. I am a big fan of re-cycle and re-purpose. Some call it upcycled art. I love it! This is my canvas on the wall, work-in-progress.

And this is my helper, my 3 years-old grandson. He loves assisting me!

Ok. Here we go! I am using pods - recycled coffee pods from my Nespresso machine, I wrote a post a while ago, explaining how to clean and prepare the pods. I use glue sticks and glue gun to attach them to my canvas.

My grandson is having fun with the pods, they are lightweight and shiny, he loves it. He is not supposed to bend them, but I saw him stepping on them on the floor. See that smirch on his face? Mischievous! They know everything, even at 3 years old!

Sooooo... after all those pods are glued, we decided to use some rope I bought a few months ago from the dollar store. Laying around the house for no reason, so I found a purpose :) I use glue gun and glue sticks again. And that's it for today! The canvas goes back on the wall until we are in the mood to add some other elements.
