Be Nice or Leave


Welcome to the virtual "mini-catalogue" of recycled products.

My take on the welcome sign. A reminder to surround ourselves with people who inspire and lift us up. Let those "toxic" ones know what your boundaries are...humorous, hopefully effective. A 6x6 in. glass mixed media mosaic tile. Can hang on the wall or sit in an easel...this one sold but more tiles available... www.artsyrubbish.etsy.com. 100% recycled materials. Custom orders always welcome.

Recycling-A New Scene

Organic Style









Unique
Designs







Sweaterheads-recycled sweaters become gorgeous accessories for your head.
http://www.sweaterheads.etsy.com/ a fellow Oregonian cruises the thrift boutiques to find her art medium...discarded sweaters she transforms into groovy scarves, hats, who knows what next. I've seen her hats up close and can attest to the attention to detail and professional craftsmanship. A durable, unique product. Better still, one-of-a-kind pieces to help celebrate the unique, authentic YOU.

Foundling-vintage, found, recycled and repurposed findings become feel good bling. I LOVE these rings. She also offers necklaces, bracelets etc. in her shop http://www.foundling.etsy.com/. An added bonus...the attractive packaging.

Goldygirl-live, play, create, enjoy...It's clear she really loves what she does. Find more of her "mouth-watering" photographs of her recycled, repurposed pieces. The earrings above are just a sampling...more to come in future posts. Check the rest of her offerings out by clicking here: http://www.goldygirl.etsy.com/. You'll be glad you did.
