From mundane to madonna

This blog is about seeing the potential, re-using the discarded or mundane in some new or interesting way.
With this project, Creative Roommate has achieved both goals, melding themes that I don't normally see used together. Here combined: religious iconography and a modern plumbing-related accessory (ok, ok, a toilet seat cover). Let me clarify, she used a CLEAN toilet seat cover as the substrate for this project.

 I didn't get to snap a 'before' picture, but you can probably imagine a plain white toilet seat cover.  Instead I captured the freestyle installation process as it happened on our porch:
Creative Roommate, installing her work on an existing attachment point.
Angles matter.  In an interesting coincidence, the piece is now framed by an old chair frame.
Iconic.

(currently brainstorming ways to freestyle that chair frame, it was another apartment 'inheritance'...)
