This week's Art Tip was inspired by ArtSites wood sculptor, Merlayna Snyder.

For the past month, Merlayna has been doing 'RE-Creations'. Merlayna finds old battered wood pieces at thrift stores, sands them, reshapes them, and then embellishes them leading to some stunning 'RE-Creations'. As Merlayna's dear friend, Linda Michelle-Pentelbury (a registered psychologist), stated:
"To me, this new collection represents how we have all been shaped in ways that do not necessarily work for us and how we can re-create our lives to be an expression of our authentic self."

Well said! Have YOU ever thought about creating a piece of artwork from someone else's starting point? Please check out Merlayna's blog to see more incredible images of her transformations!

Beautifully done, Merlayna!
