Phoenix-based S.A. Schimmel Gold composes Warholesque mosaic portraits from hundreds of tiny, hand-placed scraps of postcards, menus, and junk mail. She even mixes the water-based, nontoxic glue by hand (from $250).

Nikki McClure uses soy-based inks and recycled paper to reproduce poignant paper cuts reflecting motherhood, nature, and activism in poster form ($8.50).
