http://www.schenker.net/Schenker_4-2009/Mosaics.html My love of nature and art, and my desire to preserve Earth’s natural resources, have stimulated me to pursue a form of ecological art, created from scores of used magazine pages that are color sorted, hand-torn and fashioned into a nature mosaic. Culling old magazines for usable colors and textures is an ongoing process. Pulling the palette and artfully applying pieces to render a bold composition takes many hours. Recycling does not stop at the magazines - each frame and backboard has also been repurposed for the new Earth-friendly piece.  The results are unique and TEARriffic!       Following are a selection of my recent creative works (adjusted from time-to-time during occasional web-site updates). I will consider creating particular creature or size mosaics.   - Shelley Schenker http://www.schenker.net/Schenker_4-2009/Mosaics.html#0 b0b74ec6-537a-4132-8205-487034bd6bb3 http://www.schenker.net/Schenker_4-2009/Mosaics_files/Media/IMG_7408a/thumb.jpg http://www.schenker.net/Schenker_4-2009/Mosaics_files/Media/IMG_7408a/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px;
