“Project Greenway,” as it came to be known, was one of the most engaging art competitions in the Design Center Gallery’s installments.
From sculptures of robots to earrings, purses and paintings, found items were given a second chance.

Made from found objects provide by the art committee. First come, grab it and run! I grabbed what I could. It does light up with something that color and trim used. A sort of strobe light on paper. It also sits on a wire basket (not shown).

Sadly, my work was hung up in customs and wasn't shown. They kind of held it hostage, kept hiking the fees? I have to say it was very disappointing, but a whole lot of lessons learned. Next time I'll  know how to ship where customs doesn't gouge you..
