I just left the key fob last night at Sam Hill's in Columbia Tennessee. The other piece will be at a mystery location. Whoever finds the instant art kit will have some work to do. It is filled will all sorts of bits and pieces and words to glue together into a collage. I wish I could see the finished product.'Have fun!

These are just a sample of the mini-collages I have made to share as 'found art'. The processof design and assembly has been such a joy! Ihope that they will be well received.

I left the "Hurt Box" on Corry Street in Yellow Springs.For a close up and background info check in with Jafabrit.I am using a new method to attach bits of art, the magic of velcro.

In the spirit of Knitta Jafagirl Nancy found some unfinished knitting and asked another jafa (moi) to bomb a tree for art stroll night in Yellow Springs.Check out knitta, they are just a fantastic group and some of the things they have covered are so much fun.

I have been making a few worry dolls for the art ball machine in the Emporium in Yellow Springs, but thought it would be fun to leave a few of these for people to find :) They are about 1 inch tall and have a worry face drawn on the back.

Hi,My name is Bobby Leberak and I am 65 1/2 years old and I have been leaving photographs that were taken near my home in Manitowoc, WI in various places around our state, Malls, hospitals, nursing homes, airports, grocery stores, a radio station, and have exported some with friends and relatives that live in Biloxi, Mississippi. I also left a couple of sketches of a Lake Michigan lighthouse in

I make beaded bookmarks and I like to leave them in hospital waiting rooms and the benches outside where many people read. I just started doing this. I put the bookmarks on a piece of card stock and then into a zip lock baggie with the Found Art sticker taped to the outside.

We just got back from Breckenridge, Colorado from a ski trip. I left several pieces around at places in the village. Some on trees, a bench in a pavillion with a fire pit, the restroom by the Quicksilver lift, a restaurant called The Maggie, and with a lady in a gallery of pet art. The animal art was very impressive. I had a blast.

A fellow jafagirl Deb made little angels to leave around town. The wings are bits of wood that deb used a marker on. Mine and Nancy's are on the video. You can see some more pics of deb on the Yellow Springs Arts page.

They may be silly, but I've made a few dozen of these things . . . a couple of words encased in a bottle cap with stained glass, inserted in a plastic snack bag with a business card letting the 'finder' know what they've found. I'm kind of nervous about letting them go . . .

Hi, everyone! I have been busy at work, but still creating Found Art. Just haven't had the time to scan stuff before I leave it. This weekend I decided I would make the time and post some more art.I found a fence company in my town that has a FREE Wood box. I've started painting scraps of wood to leave as Found Art. Here's one of the pieces I'll be leaving for someone this week. I've posted

I did a wee video of found art in my studio on youtube. Here is one the new pieces my jafa friends and I are going to hang in downtown Yellow Springs, Ohio in December.

Here are three pins that I made from a styrofoam tray that I was using for a palette. The colors looked so cool, I cut it into strips and looked at it for a few days, wondering what to make out of it. Finally I decided to collage some pins. They have magazine words, netting, heart glitter, and buttons. Add a pin back and voila'-art from trash. I left two at the YMCA and still have one to leave.

I have been leaving Found Art, but haven't been posting here -- mostly because of time issues, but also because I didn't have any fun pics to share. In my unpacking at my new home, I found a stash of Found Art I had made months ago but had never left. So I've had a lot to leavel I've left art along the streets of Boston, in the Back Bay train station, on seats in the train, in newspaper bins, etc

Hey....where is everybody. Is everybody too busy this summer to post anything? Here is my newest. I'm planning a trip to St. Augustine, FL and I have made a few new pieces to scatter there. Some are my old images that I have used before. The new one is the one with the Statue of Liberty. It's nice to leave some in new territory.

I'm a little late getting this post done. I left these two pieces a few days ago and didn't take time to post them. The first one has an origami kimono/shirt and says "Put on a garment of praise". I left it in my locker at the Y and two days later it was still there. I moved it to the curtained changing room and the next time it was gone. The other piece is done with a tin can lid for a frame.

Saturday night we went to a local drive-in theater called the Hi-way 50 Drive-in and I left this piece in the restroom. I designed the wings and altered the girl's photo and put them together with the type on Photoshop. Then I painted the background and mounted it and attached a piece of yellow netting using the letter pieces. "Recapture Your Imagination" just seemed to fit.We saw Talledaga

Here are some rocks I found while kayaking yesterday. I covered a couple of them with whiteout and drew on them with a graphite pencil and colored pencils. The colorful one had a hole so I put a colorful yarn through it and a tag. I'll probably leave it at the Y today.

Survived the Kayaking! I made it home in one piece. Hallelujah! Just enough white water adventure for a 47 year old. There were 11 of us in our group; my husband and I along with 9 others ranging in age from 15 to 25. We kept up with them and amazingly we are not too sore today.Here is a photo of the pieces that I made in the car on the way. I forgot to take

Well, I am in Chattanooga, TN visiting my son and daughter-in-law and we have just come back from eating dinner at Macaroni Grill. I left an art piece in the restroom on the hook in the stall. After dinner we went to the Sportsman's Warehouse and out in front there were some sculptures of a deer and an elk. I left a piece hanging on the elk's antler. I also have two other pieces that I

Four of us got together today to do some creative play and make some little art creations to leave around our village of Yellow Springs Ohio. I did the first face (a mixture of collage and acrylic) the clown face is acrylic painting and the eye stone is all decoupage. I also made some goodluck evil eye (nazar bonjuk) bones. To see more examples of found art visit here.

She is much bigger than what I normally do for found objects, but I couldn't resist. I bought her at a garage sale for 50 cents, spray painted black, rubbed on white acrylic, then used a magic marker to doodle on her, then sealed with spray varnish. Will leave her in Yellow Springs,Ohio over the weekend sometime.

Haven't had time to collect rocks and don't want to buy any more rubber cockroaches (they are too popular). So decided to use a face I painted to make a sticky post- it postcard. I did a test run the other day by leaving one near a bulletin board and saw a couple laughing and the guy said cool. But he didn't take it, so I added Free Art on the front and will leave a few around town today.For

I had fun tonight leaving painted rocks around Cambridge, MA. I'm in temporary housing at the moment during a relocation from St. Louis to Boston. I don't have a lot of art supplies with me, so I took an idea from another found artist and collected a few rocks. I picked up a small kit of assorted acrylics from A. C. Moore, and had a great time painting my rocks in wonderful, joyful colors.

UPDATEDFINALLY I'm organised enough to make a few ATC sized pieces of alcohol ink art to take with me when I visit Wisbech today. It would be fabulous if there was some feedback (I have to find places to leave three little beauties first though - I feel a coffee moment in the air!) - there would have been a pic if Blogger was playn ball with me - will add one when I canPoop - never got a chance

I am putting out two or three new pieces today. One is made from the Time Flies piece and the other is a new collage that I did from a photo that came from my husband's grandparents, a map of Italy, stamp stickers, and some mass transit reciepts from an Argentine friend of ours. I'm not quite sure where I will leave them. If you have found one, thanks for taking the time to look me up. Be sure to

Well the decorated rubber cockroaches were a hit, but I can't afford to keep buying them . I decided to try out decoupage on stones. Hum, maybe I will even print out pics of my cockroaches or some of my own artwork and decoupage them on stones. I do love those cockroaches though lol!It was kind of neat to walk into a couple of local stores and see my cockroaches sitting on the counter next to

Hi,I'm new to this blog. Last week I found the Found Art website, made some art, distributed it, made my own blogger.com website and am waiting for the feedback. None yet.
