Book Review -Foraged and Recycled Art

April 24, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

Book Review  -Foraged and Recycled Art

I have been on a quest to live a more sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle and I was ecstatic when I stumbled upon “Foraged and Recycled Art: 35 projects made“. This book is a perfect fit for anyone who loves to get back to nature and wants to reduce their environmental impact.

The book is jam-packed with over 35 creative projects that can be made from recycled and foraged materials. From gifts and stationery to homewares and decorations, there’s something for everyone. I was particularly drawn to the festive gilded leaf garland and the pretty seedpod coasters, and I can’t wait to give them a try.

What I love most about this book is that it shows you how to use a wide range of materials, including fabric and paper off-cuts, as well as natural elements such as twigs, flowers, and pebbles. The expert maker, Clare Youngs, guides you through all the techniques you need to know, making it easy for even a beginner to understand.

The best part? You don’t need a lot of expensive supplies or tools to get started. Just a few basic items and your imagination and you’ll be on your way to creating beautiful works of art.

I highly recommend “Foraged and Recycled Art: 35 projects made” to anyone who wants to be creative and eco-friendly at the same time. This book is a must-have for anyone who wants to live a sustainable lifestyle and develop their creativity while being kind to the planet.
