Rainbow Sprinkles Collage

Something about this sprinkle jar. Something about rolling down the baking aisle as a kid in a shopping cart and being mesmerized by tiny colorful lines in a small plastic bottle. The excitement when Mom let me put one into the cart. 
 
Something about getting to experience all of that again- the aisle, the cart, but now as the mom. And something about uncovering and solidifying all of those memories by making a jar of sprinkles out of water balloon straws and a popped pool floaty and sharing it with others who hold something similar.
Materials: plastic (popped pool floaties), water balloon straws, paper, monofilament
 
Art measures 5" x 7", frame not included

A major part of my process includes repurposing materials that would otherwise be thrown away. Because there's already enough cool stuff in the world and we don't have to start from scratch to make something new.
