Leftovers: an art endeavor that creates a bright new purpose for yesterday's scraps. 

In my own unique twist of up-cycling, I create solar-powered ART LAMPS for outdoors by re-purposing materials from thrift stores and yard sales.  With repeating patterns, layers, light, and reflection, the whole far exceeds the sum of its parts.  With our homes overfilled with art, I seek to adorn the patio, porch, gate, shed, and pathway with purposeful light and entertaining patterns.  My vision includes being as green as possible, so my materials are locally sourced to minimize carbon footprint, and the lamps are lit by solar because solar continues to be a wise, efficient, and very popular choice for the environment.  No bulky extension cords for these lamps, and the lamps can be left unattended with no risk of fire.  The solar-powered lamps work well in a sunny yard, and transform the pleasing daytime designs into inflated nighttime patterns, casting influence over an extended area.  Each ART LAMP is one-of-a-kind!  Facebook https://www.facebook.com/SolarArtLamps
