jills-Braque -Nov-Dec-1953-exhibit-advert 011.jpgJill’s entry…

Hi Pam,

This is an entry for the “Found objects…Found art” Contest. This is poster from 1953 for an art show by Georges Braque.My parents had this poster in our hallway for as long as I can remember when I was growing up. My Mother was going to throw it out because they were going to paint the hallway and this was tattered at the edges.I loved it and I rescued it by putting it in a frame so that you can’t see the edges.

This now has a permanent home in my living room and I love it!

I wanted to share it with you,

Jill

Vintage styrofoam Magi-Cups – Chay’s entry

by pam kueber on February 4, 2009

chays-magic-cup.jpgChay’s entry into our Found Objects Found Art contest. P.S. Chay, we need to seem more of that flamingo pink laminate, dear!…

We found this little beauty when we were cleaning out the “mother-in-law” house of our 1947 ranch. For me it speaks of the optimism of the mid-twentieth century. It is hard to believe that styrofoam would have been considered magic anything- especially in today’s green age. Yet, in all actuality, styrofoam is “greener” than paper and uses less energy and materials to produce. According to the wrapper, these cups could be used at home or the office, for picnics, poolside, parties, patios and bar-b-q’s. More amazing still is that they are still intact in their original wrapper – apparently they weren’t as “magic” as they advertised. The original buyers only used 3 of the six cups.
