Some Favorite Recycled Stuff

My favorite cloth artist ' Valerie Weberpal of Harvest Moon' http://www.harvestmoon00.blogspot.com/ ... She does the most Delightful characters from recycled textiles and old buttons!
A real yummy and labor intensive creation are the recycled tins made into wonderful teacups with magnets inside so you can stack.. these pictures were from a old Mary Engelbreit's HOME COMPANION, Aug/Sept. 2003 The artist is' Harriete Estel Berman' http://www.harriete-estel-berman.info




Well these cute trashy treats were on ETSY by MoJo Trashions.. so fun, bootie and bags..



A collaged flower from fabric and have seen them in papers too..wear them or use to decorate packages curtains..hmmm..whatever..





Finished up my cards for 'Beth and Karla's Birds and Bonnets, Vintage Workshop Swap'..thats a mouthful..


Well, here I am again...late... missed the Earth Day posting... but life is not always on the computer...

Enjoy the pictures ...working here on swaps, orders and inventory for my web sales and well just been too lazy and tired sit at the computer...sorry... will try to post some pictures tomorrow of my recycled stuff around the house... and maybe projects...

    Creative recycling can be good fun, once you get started, nothing is safe from taking on a new life and new form.

    Your earth day cards are lovely.

    Have you seen Harriete's jewelry on ObjectFetish.com?
    It is truly amazing and they have many other incredible artists using recycled materials.
