Repurposing old book pages and forgotten letters into art

As I continue to seek ways to create art in more sustainable ways, I'm frequently stumbling upon artists who are already practicing "green" art.  UK-based Olivia Jeffries is one such artist.

Olivia takes paper that has already been printed, scribbled, and written on, and adds her own artistic elements to them.  She'll use old letters, packaging materials, book pages, and even children's drawings.

More of her mixed media works can be found on her website and Etsy shop.  Olivia is currently running a sale on some of her framed art from now through Jan. 31!
