Saint Alchema is sooo trashy

Local artist and reader Diane Getty has shared a couple of pictures of her homemade green dolls and we've shared them on our new site for Local Treehuggers. I'm hoping they inspire others to share some more projects.

We aren't picky. Any backyard or rooftop thing that's a little bit green. A compost pile. Or an art project.

Above is Saint Alchema. Diane made her and surrounded her with trash she found in Riverside Park. She's spinning all  the thrash into gold. There are other recycled materials, too, such as an old wig and record. Diane has another doll on the site, as well, if you're interested.
