In order to create assemblage art or found object art, you'll need to find things to use. There is treasure (or trash, depending on your point of view), just waiting to be made into art. Here are some ideas.
Spring has officially “sprung”! The flowers are opening up their smiling faces to the sky. The trees are filling out with green leaves. And the last of the snow has finally melted away.

How to Become a Master Candle Maker For Fun or Profit...”
Soon, you'll finally learn how to make wonderful smelling candles that put those expensive candles sold in stores to shame. It's easy, fun and very rewarding!
Dear Candlemaker,
If you've ever had a deep desire to make beautiful, scent-filled candles that make any room welcoming and maybe given as special gifts...
Or better yet, if you want to create a full-time income from your candles, then this is the most important information you'll ever read.
But first, let me ask you:
“Do you envy those who can Make All Types of Candles, Effortlessly?”
Office Design Tips to Increase Productivity
1. Do you spend a lot of time working on a computer because of your job or business? If so, you can increase your level of productivity by improving your office space.
2. An ugly, cramped office will cause you to want to procrastinate and you'll lose your valuable creative juices.
4. Comfort is Important. Make sure your office space is well-ventilated. Use plants to promote airflow. Leave your office open to keep it from feeling stuffy.
5. Ergonomics should be a high priority. Invest in an ergonomic office chair, keyboard and mouse. Make sure you have good lighting. Get both a desk lamp and an overhead light for a well-lit office.
6. Choose a subdued, cool color for your office to promote tranquility and focus. Encourage creativity, innovation, and brainstorming by using colors such as light blue, fern green.
7. Avoid warm and dark colors such as orange, red, and magenta. These colors are distracting and heavy on the eyes.
8. The aesthetic appeal of your office space is important in determining your level of efficiency and happiness on the job. Create a space that makes you feel like an executive, no matter what position you hold.
9. Use wall colors, plants, furniture, lighting and window treatments that you like. Only you can determine the right aesthetic direction for your workspace.
10. Avoid interrupting your work focus. Items that you use regularly should just be a desk chair roll away: printer, scanner, phone etc.
11.Add personality: Make your office space "yours" by personalizing it: hang artwork, bring in photos of your family, and use snazzy throw pillows to add some splashes of color.
12. Whether you're self-employed or working for a boss, a beautiful, comfortable office will help you feel more confident and be more productive.

13. If you are interested in making assemblage art or
found object art, you may be wondering where to find
things to use.
The truth is, we have stuff all around us, just waiting to
be made into art. Here are some suggestions of
where to find things.
14. In your kitchen. Start looking at the items you use
every day and consider if they could be used in one
of your creations. Many types of spices and herbs
can be used to embellish art.
Canned food lids can be painted, punched or
hammered to create interesting effects. Pieces of
mesh produce bags can be used to create texture.
15. In your mail. How about saving the envelopes with the
little windows or those fake credit cards? Do you like
to decoupage? Use some of those ads for an
interesting, colorful background, as well as
newspaper you've torn, aged or painted.
Page through your magazines and see if you can find
inspiring images or words to use in your mixed
media. Use stamps and postcards to make
interesting embellishments.
16. In your backyard. A quick walk outside can be quite
productive- pick up some leaves, pebbles, twigs, tree
bark, weeds, flowers and maybe even a bird's nest.
17. In your garage. If you have a garage or tool shed, take
a look around. Get permission before using anything
that belongs to a spouse or family member.
Some ideas- old nails or screws, washers, leftover
pieces of wood, wire, wire mesh, perforated metal
straps etc.
18. In your clothes closet. Are there any clothes you want
to get rid of? Before you take them to a second hand
store or throw them in the trash, take another look.
I like to save the buttons, the pockets, any
embellishments, belts or tags and sometimes, the
material itself, especially if it has an interesting
texture or design
19. Another way to pick up “treasures” is simply by going
on a walk- through the woods, in a park, in town,
along the beach etc. Notice those rusty pop cans,
old pieces of wood, bottle caps, weathered
cardboard and paper etc. Pick them up and take
them home. Help save the environment while
building your stash.
I’ve also heard other artists talk about visiting their
local landfill to collect items. I have never done this
and don’t even know if it’s an option in my city, but it
may be something you want to look into. If you do
decide to get into “trash collecting,” be sure to wear
whatever protective gear you need to stay safe-
impervious clothes, gloves, good shoes etc.
20. Thrift stores or yard sales. This is one of my favorite
ways to collect assemblage items. I never know what
I’ll find- picture frames, books, jewelry, silk flowers,
fabric, buttons, metal hardware, toys, clocks or old
computers that can be taken apart.
21. Your friends and family. I was very excited a few weeks
ago when my mom gave me a small bag filled with
little pieces of fabric she had collected over the years
instead of throwing them out.
If you have plenty of room to store things, ask your
family and friends to save things for you. Let them
know what types of items you are looking for;
otherwise you may end up with a lot of stuff you
won’t be able to use.
22. As you can see, there is no shortage of ways to collect
items to use in your mixed media/found object art.
Treasures are all around you. The problem then
becomes, “Where will I put all this “stuff?!!”
