Description
Do you like art? Today, I'm going to tell you about a very interesting artist. She makes art from trash. You know what trash is, right? You could call it junk, or garbage. It's something you just throw away. 美國有一個很有趣的藝術家，她利用垃圾做藝術品。
Stephanie Hongo lives in America. She makes beautiful art with things people don't want anymore. She turns the trash into animals. She uses ping pong balls for eyes. She uses plastic forks to make feathers for owls. And she used the leg of a Barbie doll for the horn of a unicorn. Is a unicorn an animal? Well, maybe.
她把別人不要的東西挑出來，做成動物的樣子。像是乒乓球當作眼睛，塑膠叉子變成貓頭鷹身上的羽毛，芭比娃娃的腿變成了獨角獸頭上的角。
Stephanie started using trash to make art after she quit her job. She didn't have enough money to buy art supplies. So, she used junk. It sounds dirty to use garbage. But Stephanie only uses clean trash. She gets the trash from her family and friends. Sometimes, people on Facebook give her junk, too. 這位藝術家在離職之後沒錢買藝術作品的材料，於是想到利用垃圾。聽起來有點不衛生，不過她只用乾淨的，從親朋好友那裏收集來的垃圾。有時候臉書上的好友也會把不要的東西給她。
It's great that Stephanie uses trash to make art. She can help the environment. She can also make money by selling her art!
