Hello Animal and Art Lovers
May 9th I will have my dog and cat paintings in Kirkland, Wa. , to help promote animal adoptions. If you are ready to adopt, or just want more information this is the place to get it. The event will take place inside and out at Dooley's Dog House. There will be pet food experts on hand as well as other animal related services. I will be offering some big discounts on my art, with a donation made to Pasado's Safe Haven for all art sold. All available work on my website will be discounted that day as well. A donation to Pasado's Safe Haven will be made on all art work sold.Even if you cannot adopt at this time come and see me, make a little donation to one of the agencies on site, and just have some fun. www.JanetWoldart.com

Recycled Art
I was recently asked to be apart of a recycled art show for Landfillart.org, which is an artist reclamation project. Each artist is asked to create a piece of art from a hubcap. The hubcaps were dug up out of a landfill and very in size, weight, make and model. I asked for two hubcaps to use in a sculpture piece. One was from a Ford and the other larger hubcap was from a Dodge. They were both very heavy and kind of neat on there own. I tried to use all used materials, that where either headed to the dump or headed to the thrift store. I call my piece, "Hub City Twirl A Whirl". From bottom to top: hubcap, large juice can, old metal bread basket line with can lids and reflective disks, hubcap, metal bowl, with neat legs, metal napkin ring, the plastic top off a detergent bottle, and the plastic handle off a dead scrubby. The seats are made from left over frame wood, hung by wire, covered in black straws from last weeks mocas. I used a little paint, some nontoxic gliter glue, and to hold it all together I purchase a metal rod, place through the center. For a little more fun and to put in the twirl, I put the whole thing on a lazy susan that I took out of my spice cabinet, and Kazam! She twirls! You can see my piece at www.janetwoldart.com or all the art at www.landfillart.org
