Materials
Any materials can be used in mixed media. You are limited only by the resources around you and your immagination. Perhaps you have access toa place supplied by manufacturers, wholesalers and even retailers with offcuts, unwanted stock, errors in production and generally materials surplus to requirements that would otherwise go to landfill. I also have a beach and river close by where I can look for flotsam and jetsam, though our beaches in the Perth metropolitan area do not provide many treasures. If you are making jewellery stay away from rusty or dirty objects to avoid marking skin or clothes.
The items below are examples of offcuts, found objects and pre-used.
