A mandala-like medallion in cobalt, sea green, and lime glows against a rust-orange field. Green tendrils curl around the center, and a ring of dotted stitching and gold thread keeps the whole thing spinning in place. Everyone gets along in the middle.

Made by Karen Randolph from ironed recycled plastic, stitched down to a piece of orange handmade paper, and mounted on red-stained wood. One of a kind, signed lower right.

Finished size: 9" x 9".

This item is one of a kind. You are purchasing the exact item shown in the image(s).

About Karen Randolph

Retired art teacher Karen Randolph starts with the clear liner from a cereal box as her blank canvas, then builds on it with reclaimed plastic: newspaper delivery bags in surprisingly bright colors, black construction bags, white shrink wrap, old retail shopping bags, and bubble wrap in circles, squares, even hearts. She irons two to six layers into fused sheets, then cuts and arranges them into abstract, evocative compositions, accented with salvaged tissue paper, textile scraps, and embroidery floss. Each finished picture is sewn onto cardstock, fabric, or recycled paper, and mounted.

Every piece is an original, five to ten hours of ironing, cutting, and stitching. Karen hopes to run out of plastic someday — which would mean we’ve evolved. Until then, she’s got plenty to work with. Single-use, meet long-term.
