DIY Natural Woodland Birdhouse holiday gift idea

Here I have a bird house with glued sticks and bark. The process took about an hour, and I believe used almost four glue sticks to piece together all the materials I collected from outside. This is going to my grandmother for a holiday gift. She actually asked for a birdhouse--little does she know I didn't just go buy one. Although I did buy the "house" to glue the pieces to; but all the wood I collected from the yard.

This is a perfect craft for kids or anyone that loves crafts in general, including bird watchers/enthusiasts.

Holiday gift painting "Backyard flower garden" by CK

Hey, everyone. I'm still making holiday gifts. This painting isn't really a gift I'm personally giving, but I'm getting paid to make this for someone else to give as a gift.
I made another painting which I will show you in my next post. Of course, you can always look at all my paintings at my Deviantart and tumblr pages.

Wheel art decor garden ideas

I have a piece of metal that looks like the one in the photo below; and I've been wondering what kind of artistic use I could put it to. Below are a few additional photos of ways to re-purpose wheels and similar objects as decor in the garden.

Trash Recycled Art Sculptures (+ NEW BLOG TITLE: ART LANDFILL)

I think it very fitting that  I post photos of artwork made from recycled (trash) materials considering I recently changed this blog to Art Landfill. This blog was titled various things such as Edgar Allan Poet, Land of Art, and ART PARTE', and those titles never resonated with me which is why I often changed the blog title. But here I wanted to provide some ideas of the artworks below in the photos to do functional pieces that can utilize recycled materials around you.

First, here are hanging plastic bottles made into delicate ornaments that accent the sky.

This is sweet, but I wonder if the fascination here is because sculptors want a sex robot.

This sculpture has many intricate pieces and the color of materials is a great match work of different elements.

This wall art design was used with toilet paper rolls, so be sure to save about 200 rolls.
