"Remembrance" by Lisa D Regan includes pieces of a wire brush (the poppy), old war medals, a flag topper (the eagle), and chopped up credit cards. Quite imaginative use of materials!
There were several fiber entries. "Hand Bag Flag in Denim" is by Stacie Pedrick. She used multi-colored denim pieces as well as curtain lace and a recycled belt for the bag strap.
Stephani Schuster's "Threads of Freedom" includes parts of a navy uniform, wedding dress scraps, t-shirt material, denim and lace. The American Eagle was a popular subject for several entries.
My entry was this assemblage art piece titled "Pieces of America". All sorts of buttons, game pieces, jewelry bits and tiny flags found their way into this photo frame. It was fun to make, and it has found a new home. All of the art on exhibit is for sale.
"Stars of Service" by Cynthia Ancel is crafted from garage sale paint and discards from a pile of wood scrap.
Another assemblage piece, "In War and Peace" by Kudra Migliacolo is made from shiplap wood scraps, vintage catalog pages, candy tins, trophy parts, buttons and fabrics.
The back wall of the Brick City Gallery shows how nicely the items displayed against the clean, white background.
"Combat Boots" by Kathy Sage is a collage that includes prints from her deceased artist friend and uses recycled elastic for the boot laces. And the light-up assemblage by Ann Carreno was created from a glass bottle, wood, paper, beads, and acrylic paints. It's a lively piece!
Hope you enjoyed the visit to The Brick and the creativity on display for America's 250th! Happy 4th!

What a beautiful display! Each piece is thoughtfully made and unique. Yours, Nancy, is fabulous! So many little bits and bobs put together in a cohesive arrangement. It's really quite fabulous. I'd love to chat with you about the significance of all the parts. Of course it's the Scrabble letters that stood out to me. :-) What an honor for you to hang your piece among all these creative salutes to the US. I'm happy for you that it sold. Congratulations!
