New cards on Etsy!

Well, my hiatus is officially over. I've broken my absence by posting some new cards on Etsy- including a skull, which is a new design I'm trying out! I'm also really close to finishing a squirrel (also a new design, a special request from Joshua at my October 20 open house!). As always, all of my cards are handmade from recycled materials. They are each unique! Buy them HERE!

Recycled Goodness

I'm afraid I'm still a slacker, still in Love Land, and still blissfully happy despite my hiatus from creativity. Since I haven't been making my own creations from recycled materials, I'm going to highlight some great ones I found on Etsy!
Mademoiselle Lemieux makes sweet earings from recycled cans. I love the colors and patterns! Lee Gainer's art is created by rolling up recycled fabric, cardboard, or whatever else she finds interesting to create these great colorful circular pieces.
Debby Arem Designs made this fabulous owl from a recycled circuit board!

Introducing a yoga bag!

I have finally escaped from all of my distractions and finished a yoga bag. It is for sale on etsy HERE (so if you like it, go buy it!). It is one of a kind, made from curtains and lined with navy blue cotton. I made one for myself a little time ago (ok, like 2 months ago... I've been REALLY distracted!) and it works great! I love my bag! I usually ride my bike to practice, and boy am I thankful for the padded shoulder strap. I get compliments on my yoga bag everywhere I go! They can be custom made as well, so if you think of any extra features you want email me at reloveprojects@yahoo.com

Birthday

Today was my birthday! I celebrated the way I always do-- I took the day off of work and did everything I felt like doing. I worked on art projects-- I joined Swap-bot a little bit ago as part of my .postdue. commitment. I sent my cards out a day late, but liked how they turned out. They are both made from recycled materials including paperboard and a paper bag.

I went to yoga, I decided that I was going to start this year off doing something nice for myself and my body. I topped the night off by having dinner with my friends. I received a ReLoved card! It is super sweet, made from a recycled Halloween costume. He was dressed as a cowboy- the envelope was created from his hat, and the card itself was leather (from his holster and vest), and his bandana. All lovingly handstitched too!

Halloween

This year for Halloween I dressed up as 'Cloudy With A Chance of Rain'. I made my cloud dress from recycled T-shirts and sheets, and carried a water gun!

Art Open House Extravaganza

Saturday, October 20, me and a few other artist friends got together and threw a whirlwind bash to display and sell our work. We had Tyler Marsh, a painter; Katy Clark, who makes wall pieces out of metal; Lisa Smith, a jewelry designer; and ME! I had my bags and cards. It was a smashing good time!

A dress

This dress was made from a recycled loooooong vintage dress and a T-shirt!
