Necklace made of various aluminum cans, and 1 red pull tab. The charms are backed in EVA foam and the necklace is light as a feather.
This is just about my fav thing made this year. I have ADD and it sums up what my brain deals with every day. I named it "Bing" after those new TV search engine commercials ...I absolutely love that ad campaign about our 21st century society and information overload. It doesn't take much to over load me...but I have had nearly 53 years of practice now.
I pick up aluminum cans off the streets, and out of trash bins, bring home and wash throughly. Then I create something of value with them.

Recycled...a bunch of different aluminum cans, and pull tabs...his name is "Chill" and he is the first of my new designs of playground kids and people made up of trash.
This one is a brooch/ pin.
Whats cool is he can stand up as a sculpture when not worn on clothes.
Coat of fused plastic bags, and boot covers from woven cereal boxes. Made for the SWANCC Flashy Trashion Show held November 13, in Glenview, IL.
Mary Ellen is the model in this photo.
SWANCC stands for Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County. Its is a Chicago north suburban agency dealing with recycling, reducing, and repurposing of hundreds of thousands of people's trash/waste.
So proud to have my coat chosen for this contest on June 24, 2010:

Brooch to be be worn on the recycled plastic bag coat collar in the 2009 SWANCC Flashy Trashy Fashion show on Nov 13. Can you guess what I made this out of?
Baby Bot pin named "Chill"
Stands up as sculpture when not worn.
a lot of aluminum cans...I do NOT ever waste a piece of the can. I use 90% of every single aluminum can in my work.
I think photographing still lifes of the top of my work space is as much art as creating the jewelry.

I plan to wear this ring to art openings, and special functions...it fits 4 of my fingers perfectly.
The ring is very comfortable to wear, and creates public conversations about the state of our environment, and the plastic debris harming the oceans. This ring is part of an entire fashion ensemble I am creating called "Mary's Garden." The ensemble will be made out of 90% or more recycled materials....mostly plastics.
Ring measures 7 cm tall x 6 cm wide.
Nothing purchased...everything found, or in my studio.
I created this ring out of the following materials:
1 large soup can aluminum pull tab
a vintage yellow cap from a bead holder tube
1 green PET soda bottle
1 clear PET soda bottle
1 red coffee stirrer straw,
industrial adhesive
sharpie markers
metallic acrylic paint

She love to pose...Miss Cherry Pie know she looks good.
Found in neighbor's recycling bin: 2 empty "Glad Cling Wrap" cardboard boxes.
Without any planning except staring at the boxes for several minutes...cut up without drawing figure out at all. I "see" and "draw" with my scissors alone.
Materials in this art:
Metal brads, scissors, glue and Sharpie marker (eyebrows)
Here is the 3rd accessory completely recycled and made by me. Its a baby bot (robot) made out of aluminum pull tabs and cans. Its a brooch, and I will place it on the collar of my plastic bag garment in the SWANCC fashion show (see the set opening comment for more info on this event).
Its also a sculpture, and can stand up when not worn. His name is "Chill."
My former career was in advertising illustration ...I love all the colors and typefaces dancing before my eyes. Product branding is so much a part of our lives 24/7.
So many of these cans are found just lying in the street, or in the garbage. I take them, wash them with soap, and give them a new life. One man's trash is my art supplies.
***************************************
These cut outs will become necklaces and earrings.
A lot of aluminum cans...I do NOT ever waste a piece of the can. I use 90% of every single aluminum can in my work.

Mary Ellen model's the plastic bag coat, and the cereal cardboard boot coverings made in the suburbs of Chicago by me. For more info check out the entire set to see how I spent the last 5 weeks of my life creating this coat and 3 accessories for the SWANCC fashion show. the opening Set comments explain. Finally, I had to use 90 % recycled materials. What did I purchase for the entire ensemble? Only velcro for the boots and the coat closures.

Yes, its an ALUMINUM CAN basket!
My own designs and work...4 baskets made from aluminum cans and rope/ cordage
by Mary Anne Enriquez (AKA urbanwoodswalker)
Displayed at the 2009 Trash To Treasure IX show in Hammond, Indiana.
Makedo is a new company out of Australia. Industrial designer Paul Justin created this really brilliant set of reusable plasitc connectors and hinges so that children could construct objects and toys from whatever materials they have lying around their house.
I was contacted and asked if I would create some objects with the Makedo connectors. I was thrilled to be asked and this is the very first project I made. AI took a recentlty used juice box, and cut it out into pieces that ould become a tropical movable bird. the hinges and connectors allow this to not only be a creative model, but it can flap and move its head ! I made this in an hour and it was throughly impulsive and spontaneous. I did no drawing or thinking but had a terriffic time. what more the connectors and hinges can all be disassembled and reused a hundred (of million) times over...and there are lots more connectors and hinges in the bag that the Makedo folks sent me!
What will I make next? the Makedo set contains the blue round pins, blue connectors, and the black hinges which can move freely (like a door) or lock into 10 different positions! Oh, there is a really awesome kid safe flexible plastic knife included that can cut cardboard (though, I used a scissors to cut these juice box pieces out).
There is a web site, with other artists creative works with these connectors here:

I am a Chicago suburban based artist and craft designer.
These Spats (boot coverings) were made from woven cereal boxes. They are currently on display until July 10, 2010 at the Lake County Welcome Center in Hammond Indiana. (exit 3 Kennedy Avenue -right off of I 80). Artist reception June 3 5:30 -7:30 pm. The group show is "Trash to Treasure X." My Plastic bag coat is also on display at this show.
*********************************************************************************************
I created these to wear in a Trashy Fashion show in November 2009 - To Promote Recycling , Reducing, and Repurposing...of course!
These were made along with a coat made out of plastic bags, and a hair clip from paper bags for a fantastic show put on by the Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County (SWANCC) where over 60 designs were created and worn. It was an AMAZING event! on November 13, in the suburbs of Chicago. I look forward to the next year's show. I am already thinking about what I will create.
See the 2 bottlecaps here? I flattened them with my die cutting machine.
Contined from " Accessory 1 ~ Photo 4"
Woven Cereal Box Cardboard, flattened curved bottle caps, & velcro ~ Boot Spats (coverings) - work in progress. Influenced by my great love and respect of traditional Native American crafts.
I will wear these along with the plastic bag coat, and 2 other recycled accessories at SWANCC's Trashy fashion show November 13th, 2009. My set opening comment area has more info about this bi-annual event.

Uh oh.... too much fooling around on those fancy shoes...and she takes a tumble! Oh no!
I fell down on the first day of school in the hallway every year from kindergarten to 4rd grade. Because I always had brand new shoes on, and the floors were waxed!
See next photo in the story...
I created this around the turn of the 21st century. I never did finish the base. the figure is the handset of a phone, the hair is dryer lint and glue, the braided piece is an old cotton belt, the buffalo figure inspired this whole piece, the birds were left over from a scrapbook project, the face is from old calendar page, themetal blue feather is old earring.
In the next few photos, i explain what this sculpture is about...Adaptation and Survial.

"Waste Stream"
Wall Hanging by Mary Anne Enriquez 2009
Wherever there are humans, there is unwanted debris found in urban, industrial, suburban, agricultural, and "pristine" wilderness regions. Fishermen might leave behind lead sinkers, nylon fishing line, food and drink cans in "natural areas."
Unresponsible campers, tourists, highway litterers, the homeless, just plain people like you and me, children...its impossible not to create waste that can wind up in public places. Mankind's waste leaches chemicals into the soil - ultimately into rivers, lakes, and oceans --affecting us all.
I spent 1 year saving "trash" in and around my own daily life. Mostly the trash is my own, but a little bit is from the street, waste receptacles, or on the sidewalk. I then encased this colorful often recognizable detritus and created fish.
Fish are an indicator species of how unhealthy our water and environment is. Water is a carrier of waste from long distances a way. Water is absolutely necessary to all life on earth. The play on words "waste stream" is to make the viewer think about how our daily lives affect the entire planet.
Materials used:
- steel office staples & clear vinyl... encapsulate advertising, popular culture, artifact, and unwanted waste.
- tree branch - a highly invasive non-native shrub called European Buckthorn, Rhamnus Cathartica, was cut down by the Forest Preserve of Cook County Illinois. I found it in a restoration pile of branches along a roadside.
- lead sinkers, and nylon fishing line (both poison/ kill a large amount of wildlife each year)
Materials used to stuff the fish:
- paper ( magazines, junk mail, office waste, newspapers etc)
- cardboard packaging, (cereal boxes and food packaging)
- plastic of all kinds
- candy wrappers
- wood and metal "found" objects
Show is up until July 31, 2009 in Hammond, Indiana.

"Chicklet" Trashion Fashion Art Ensemble - A One of a Kind Wearable art sculpture
Headdress ( and earrings) for Chicklet Trashion Fashion Ensemble
Artist: Mary Anne Enriquez
AKA: Urban Woodswalker
Materials:
- Plastic laundry detergent bottle
- Plastic laundry softener bottle
- Plastic Yogurt bottle
- chenille stems
- adhesive
- fused plastic bags
Hand scissor cut shapes; Stitched, wrapped, knotted, glued and wired fabrication
This series of art (Trash Chaos Vessals) is my commentary about society: our over stimulating culture, bombardment of visual "noise" and attention deficits. Also being graphic, conversation pieces made from trash
.
This vessal is made from Sunday newspapers. One must have great hand strength to fold and process the papers, then be impervious to pain as the hot glue seeps out onto one's fingers while coiling the strips. After that, finesse is needed to get rid of all those pesky glue blobs and threads without damaging the newly created vessal. I use an industrial heat gun and hope I do not burn the basket nor the art studio down!

...continued from preceding photo: Miss No Housework! would rather dance, strike a fasion pose or practic high kicks....anything but do even a smidgeon of cleaning.

Accessory 3 ~ Photo 1
I have decided to use this previously made brooch as part of my SWANCC outfit (See set "The Plastic BAG Garment and 3 Fashion Accessories" opening comment area for info --this real show takes place Nov 13th) . The show requires me to model one garment and 3 accessories made from at least 90 % trash or recycled content.

...continued from preceding photo: I thought really hard and long about whether to give her hands or not. I decided not t.o..she is so busy dancing and fashion posing all day long...she didn't need hands...as work is NOT a part of her daily activities.
I think of her fondly...my desire to play and create art every minute of each day and not be bothered with boring tasks such as cleaning, dusting, scrubbing.

The bottle in the foreground is the new aluminum packaging of the soft drink world. It is a much heavier aluminum "can", and the bottles are sold in upscale bars and some vending machines. This one is in the shape of a Coca Cola glass bottle, and has a screw off cap. These are available in the Chicago region, but are they available else where? Necklaces made from Coke's traditional aluminum cans.
Many energy drinks, and other soft drinks are now being packaged this way. They can be recycled, but they cannot be crushed/ flattened by a person. These cans or bottles are solidly thick walled.

The entire figure is a few playing cards, and 1 aluminum can. That is it. In order for her to stand up, I am going to have to come up with an appropriate stand of some kind. That is the hardest past when I design these things. The finish takes 2 - 3 times as long to figure out then the whole design and creation of the srt piece did!
I have some ideas...copper tubes, or straws, or wire and straws - it will happen.

A cacaphony of visual clutter: american icons , logos, surface designs, and textures came from plastic shopping bags, food packaging, tiny fruit labels, produce netting, and boldly printed newspaper ads. The effect was acheieved by continually layering and ironing thus fusing all together into a 21st living experience. Wearing the coat is to physically and mentally engulf one's self within society.
So proud to have my coat chosen for this contest on June 24, 2010:

The entire surface is then given several coats of a gloss UV* protective sealant. *UV stands for Ultra Violet Light Waves, which can allow the inks and dyes on the paper to fade. The gloss spray sealer I use decreases the fading due to UV damages.

The main outfit is a dress (might be in 2 pieces or 1) made entirely of collected post consumer PLASTIC bags including:
- Food bags
- Produce netting,
- Shopping bags
- Newspaper bags
- Short lengths of colorful yarns/ cords
- Clear dry cleaning bags (lining)
The fabrication technique used is crocheted with clear fishing line. Many "tufts" imply newly sprouted feathers. The outfit is multi-colored , and very colorful....bright pinks, blues, yellows greens, etc.
Ensemble includes a minimum of 3 accessories:
Ring, Headdress, and Mask.

Makedo is a new company out of Australia. Industrial designer Paul Justin created this really brilliant set of reusable plasitc connectors and hinges so that children could construct objects and toys from whatever materials they have lying around their house. Its creative fun for adults too.
I was contacted and asked if I would create some objects with the Makedo connectors. I was thrilled to be asked and this is the very first project I made. AI took a recentlty used juice box, and cut it out into pieces that ould become a tropical movable bird. the hinges and connectors allow this to not only be a creative model, but it can flap and move its head ! I made this in an hour and it was throughly impulsive and spontaneous. I did no drawing or thinking but had a terriffic time. what more the connectors and hinges can all be disassembled and reused a hundred (of million) times over...and there are lots more connectors and hinges in the bag that the Makedo folks sent me!
What will I make next? the Makedo set contains the blue round pins, blue connectors, and the black hinges which can move freely (like a door) or lock into 10 different positions! Oh, there is a really awesome kid safe flexible plastic knife included that can cut cardboard (though, I used a scissors to cut these juice box pieces out).
There is a web site, with other artists creative works with these connectors here:
makedo.com.au
Great fun!
Imagination: Cardboard toilet paper tubes, scraps of ribbons, tissue, and odd pieces of left over gift wrap, or newspaper comics create wonderful one of a kind handmade hanging ornaments that also contain holiday gifts like jewelry or gift cards.
Note, the red clothespin is merely holding the unfilled gift "box" up . I have yet to put the gift inside.
...continued from last photo
In case you are wondering, I used scraps of industrial strength adhesive backed velcro for the closure.I always have that stuff lying around. I suppose buttons and ribbons, could be used too. There are many versions of this I still have in mind to create in the future.
Commited to ReCycling and ReUSE:
I buy my juice in glass jars, and milk in plastic jugs which are then reCycled. Wax coated boxes like the one shown above are NOT recycleable. However that is what my neighbor buys, and the milk / juiceboxes do have great graphics.
Why buy gift boxes when you can make your own? Just use gift wrap paper over them if you don't like them "as is." These make great shipping mailers ...they are extremely sturdy. Really cute for storing craft supplies too.
