I was just going to post that even High School or College Art Shows are worth checking out. But then again, my cousin is in an expensive art school and her medium is DRYER LINT~~~ I AM NOT KIDDING!
I will never forget when my daughter (a fine artist also but who is in grad school for library sciences) was in art school, they had to make wearable art as a project. The winner in her class was someone who made a necklace out of DEAD BABT MICE encased in cubes of resin. I am not making this up, either. LOL!
Actually, I have seen some beautiful hand-made paper created from cotton dryer lint.
