“Take your broken heart, make it into art” – Carrie Fisher. Here is a recycled art portrait I made of my Mom, Sandy Miller. 
After losing her to cancer over a year ago, creating this piece has helped me cope with the loss and tell her story. Her portrait is made with all of her trinkets-jewelry, fridge magnets, Christmas ornaments, buttons, pins etc. My favorite piece may be that Care-bear pin (used as her cheek.) .
Huge heartfelt thanks to all of you for your love and kindness through that hard period of time and beyond💕
Check out what I found at cnn.com about the auction.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — Heavy metal fans aren’t usually seen making bids at high-end auctions, but they turned out in numbers to snatch up a coat with embroidered bats, sneakers with skulls on them and other items put up for sale by Ozzy Osbourne.“We had Ozzy fans bidding against these sophisticated fine art buyers, which you don’t see every day,” said Darren Julien, whose company, Julien’s Auctions, ran the charity sale Friday and Saturday. “For the most part the metalheads were outbidding the art crowd.”
Bidders came from as far as Germany to try to buy belongings from the Beverly Hills mansion formerly owned by the rocker and former star of “The Osbournes” reality show
The auction brought in $800,000 — more than twice the amount Julien predicted. All proceeds from the sale go to The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
