I'm on Etsy!

So, I know I've been MIA the past few weeks. The reason is that I've been working hard on a lot of different things, including setting up a shop on etsy.

I'm going to be selling a variety of products; handmade accessories and clothing that are original designs and some refashioned/recycled pieces.



These cuffs are recycled denim.

As well as original art work and home decor pieces. Also, I'll be selling the occaissional vintage item, as I find them.

Here's the link to my shop. Any feed back would be great!

Tie-Dye T-Shirts Are Now a Dress!



This dress is so super cute! And it's so comfortable to wear! Maybe that's because it's made out of t-shirts.  T-shirts that I tie-dyed myself. I'm very proud of these t-shirts.  I dyed them in a crinkle pattern. That's exactly what it sounds like. I crinkled up the t-shirts and applied the dye in a random pattern. 



But then I realized, when am I going to wear these? The shirts I had were too big for me, and tie-dye t-shirts really aren't my style. 

But maybe a tie-dye dress would be.

Here's how I made it.

Bleach Splattered Tank Top



This is another "upcycled" piece.  This tank top is made from a pair of old, black sweatpants that I'd splashed bleach on.  I'd only bought the pants to wear to work, and with the bleach marks I couldn't use them for that any more. So they sat around in a bin until I figured out what do to with them.

I finally figured out what to do with them.
