T-shirt Word Tapestries / Fabric Memes

These textiles were saved from the bins, the place where all the unsold goods that get donated to goodwill end up as a last stop before going to the landfill. This place is where I source most of my art supplies, I like to work with things the thrift stores are going to *throw away* because they got all these donations for free and if people don’t buy them at the bins they are going to the ground. The letters are cut out from Tshirts and I use the rest of the tshirt scraps to make big dresses and then the final left overs to make tassels for earrings and for the bottle cap necklaces. The tiny scrappy scraps I use to stuff floor pillows. My goal is to use as much of the material as possible and keep things out of the landfill.
