I haven't been to one of these "yard and garden" shows at the Convention Center in years, but decided that this might be one of those years to  visit.

The "Crackedpots" people...the folks who sponsor the program for the five artists to glean at the city dump for six months each year...have their own booth again this year.  They needed some samples of some of the art work that was created from all that trash that came from the city dump a few months ago to advertise the Glean Program. Several of my assemblage boxes made it to one of the tables...woohoo!!  I'm not allowed to actually sell any of my pieces at this event (I'm not a paying participant), but I do get the benefit of displaying my work (more shameless promotion!), along with having my business cards available.   A few photos from this three day weekend event:

By the way, I'm wearing one of my treasured "trashy clothing finds" from the city dump this past summer...a brand new Colombia Sportswear jacket.  This was gleaning at its finest!  And I've gotta' wonder...who would throw away a brand new jacket?  If I hadn't found it, it would have ended up at a landfill.  


This entire area of the show hall was dedicated to other artists who create from recycled materials:

Since this was a "yard, garden and patio" show, there were a lot of other interesting things (displays, booths, vendors etc.)  to see:
