Looking for metalworkers who use recovered/recycled materials
Hello. We're opening a 2000SF gallery/showroom called DejaDesign that
features primarily utilitarian objects made all or in part from recovered elements. Because space is limited we've held back on outright art pieces incorporating recycled "raw" materials but will consider them under certain circumstances. Our preference is that within the piece/pieces that the recovered element is clearly recognizeable. Being a start-up we are able to make some wholesale purchases but are also open to consignment arrangements. Thanks for your time and intertest. Peter |

Maybe they are floating it on some rich Gagliano Grant leftover :'))
Obviously working forty hours a week just doesn't cut it nowadays. Ya gotta shovel it higher and throw it farther than everyone else. Randy "Gerald Miller" wrote in message ...

Gerry :-)} London, Canada Hello, and as originator I'm always surprised that it's worth peoples time to ridicule an honest post. I assume in the reponses that I wasn't clear as to what DejaDesign is all about. Recovered elements pieces in this case means candlesticks made of tranmission gears, tables made (in part) from motorcycle rotors, an 50's era air raid siren end table, bicycle wheel stools and chairs--need more examples?-- so do I which is why I put it out there. As to being from another planet, the idea is to try to find more creative uses for the "junk" that we so easily dispose of on our own. In a lot of cases, re-created and reinvented it has a second chance. Obviously that seems a naive concept to some. Peter DejaDesign |

Did you see the smileys? You were getting a gentle reminder of something that is often important, and yet often neglected. Jim |

At the risk of engendering further hostility, I will point out to Peter that when you are asking for something, it is better to act friendly. I love to do art with recycled objects, but two things are holding me back: 1.) I still don't know where you are located. 2.) I'm not sure, now, that I want to deal with someone as unfriendly as you seem to be. |
