Found object art can be artwork made from just about anything. There are book artists who use junk mail and magazines; artists who use scraps of paper to create an image; artists who create artwork from savaged buttons or bottle caps; and artists who create sculpture from old bicycles, door knobs, car parts, spindles and the like, as in the image below.
