An #Ontario #Teacher found #WorksOfArt in the #BargainBin. She set out to find the creator.
The #Sculptures were lost in the mail somewhere between #NovaScotia and #Montreal.
About 300 hours into creating the sculptures worth thousands of dollars before carefully wrapping, labelling and shipping them off. They were scanned in Montreal before disappearing.
