Preserving The Icebox Picasso
When a preschooler paints a masterpiece, it is usually hung on the family fridge. But eventually the artwork piles up in a box under the bed or winds up in the Dumpster. But Chicago entrepreneur Angela Mendez has launched an ingenious service aimed at preserving children's creative efforts and eliminating clutter. Her business, Me, My Room and I, takes kids' artwork or poetry and turns it into collages, murals, wallpaper border or giant stickers. The art is scanned and then imaginatively transformed into custom-made keepsakes and decorations. Prices range from $88 for 12 ft. of customized wallpaper border to $210 for a 30-in. by 40-in. collage. Visit memyroomandi.com for more information.
