----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Thank you for your responses to my query about art works made out of shredded paper money. As it turns out, the patron is interested in "products" as well as art perse--so the earrings are a perfect example! I am still interested in the topic so please continue to forward cites, etc. For anyone interested, I have a copy of an article, "Make Mine Macerated: A History of Macerated Currency: 1874-1989" in Paper Pile Quarterly, Summer 199l, 20-23, which describes and illustrates items made from money pulp: busts, plaques, shoes, bells, animal figures, etc., through the years. I also found on the Internet that the Chicago Historical Society has some of this kind of object in its collection. You can also order on the Web Christmas wreaths made of shredded currency.
