How to recycle a plate into a canvas for decupage art

November 9, 2010 by Stefanie Girard

This is a really clever idea! See how to turn a damaged plate into a canvas to create a bit of decupaged art over at the blog Creative Mind! I actually think it would be cool to leave some of the undamaged part exposed if it was a cool print and incorporate with the paper images that were decupaged on. Hmmmmm I feel a new personal project comin’  on!

    These recycled crafts are great! I love using recycled material to create art. Thank you for sharing. My little sister uses a site called Craftclub.com to make recycled crafts for kids. If you are a mom, grandparent, or babysitter, I would definitely recommend checking out the site.

    It’s like this one, but more for children as this one is more for adults.

Michaela McMillan: Weaving Stories into Sculptural Art

Michaela McMillan is a UK-based mixed media artist known for her unique, narrative-driven sculptures made from recycled and found materials. Her work is deeply inspired by a childhood filled with parables and a strong ‘Good Life’ philosophy, which emphasizes sustainability and resourcefulness—values that continue to shape her artistic practice.

At the core of Michaela’s creations is her love for storytelling, paired with a deep connection to nature. Her sculptures often feature animals and human figures, skillfully assembled using decoupage, assemblage, and textile techniques. Each piece is a playful yet thought-provoking exploration of themes like identity, transformation, and the environment.

Michaela’s work has been featured in various exhibitions, including a notable show called “Our Journey” at Hub Sleaford in 2022. Her pieces are praised for their intricate details and the way they breathe new life into discarded objects, turning them into treasured works of art.

For those who are interested in discovering more about Michaela McMillan’s artistic journey and her eco-conscious approach to sculpture, her portfolio offers a fascinating glimpse into her ongoing commitment to sustainable, meaningful art.
