When art really is garbage

Better Homes & Gardens blogger Alicia has a fun post about the use of misprinted cans to create art.

It seems that VivaTerra is grabbing up misprinted soda, juice and soup cans that were headed for the landfill and making word art out of the colorful and patterned metal bits: words such as “garden,” “grow,” and “dream” to be hung on walls.

I am wondering what this word art might look like on a garden fence or the side of a shed? Or on the wall of a screened-in porch?

 Check out her post  on "From Trash to Art" for some more ideas about doing "recycled crafts" with your kids.

About Susan Reimer
Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
