Here are Betsy and Nung Hsin, superstar interns from Franconia Sculpture Park. Nung Hsin continues to work on signs (and replicas of signs!) and Betsy can solve any problem large or small from changing smoke detector batteries to creatively making window screens with whatever she could find like scrap cloth and old wire fake christmas greenery. We talked about how interesting it is to be able to "make do" with any materials you have instead of needing to go buy new. Also, how this keeps clutter down, incorporates recycling, saves gas and money! Sometimes its great to have strict material limitations as a structure for showcasing one's creativity. I found a hand made 1940's child's shirt in a thrift store today and the inside plackets and shoulder linings were made from old sugar sack cloth as interfacing. I thought it was such a beautiful and loving use of recycled materials.
