My "trashion" pal-chemy pal Drew from fairytalefibers
sent me my bag of goodies for our trashion project (fellow artists/etsians/trashionistas send eachother spare goodies/trash and we see what we can make from them...looking for inspiration and trying new materials - kinda kewl) anyhoo...she sent me some old jewelry, leather scraps, some way-cool and old German maps, and some other fidings...the best part of my package though was an awesome Sesame Street book about recycling "everyday" and one of the characters is "Grundgetta" - who makes bottle cap jewelry!! ( she also likes old clothes because they look good with her bottle cap jewelry!!) below is a picture from the book, featuring Prairie Dawn who helps Grundgetta collect bottlecaps...and she is modelling some beautiful pieces as well (I should mention that I have an old tiarra that I plan on "cappin' out")
Anyway, this made my day! thanks Drew
Now I need to get to work making something out of the other stuff she sent me! and I can't wait to see what she makes out of my findings for her (plastic easter eggs, corks, sequins, an old cassette tape, depleted gift cards from the 'bee's....etc.)
(p.s. to check out some of my fellow awesome trashionistas go to etsy.com and enter "etsy trashion" or "trashion" as a tag searchword...our street team also has a blog (check it out on my linky-do sidebar)
I'll post pics of my palchemy creation when I get it done
