Rachel Martin should change her last name to Green... Not to mimic the ever popular Friends character portrayed by Jennifer Aniston... But because of her dedication to living sustainably and creating eco-friendly designs. Although she’s an amazing business woman, advocate, AIGA board member and designer, for my post today, I want to highlight her craftasticness.
For Rachel, one man’s trash, is her treasure. She uses recycled paper to create gorgeous artwork and simple yet elegant collaged cards. The cards are individually arranged into funky modern patterns, making each one unique. I have to say my favorite piece was her 2009 holiday card, “Joy, Peace, Hope, Fruitcake.” Brilliant.

Detail of the holiday card. Such attention to detail, the tiny bows are perfect!
Some cards on display at the Noda All Arts Market in early June. I LOVE her vintage wooden boxes too!
A few original shredded paper collages.
