006Am I getting TOOOOOO into living by the beach?  I know you can purchace all kinds of signs like these but I wanted to make one.  I am thinking I will put a coat of varnish on it and hang it in my garden.  I used my Chartpak stencils and even coiled the wire myself.

 

upcycle, recycle, repurpose ? November 21, 2008

key-holder  They are all basically the same things. 

 Repurpose- give new life. 

Recycle - get another use out of

Upcycle- newest cycber term for giving something a new life.

Call it what ever you want.  But I am glad it is finally fashionable.  I have been doing this forever.  I have always found it to be a fun challenge.  A test to my creative ablity. 

This was a pink teddybear ballarina frame with a broken mirror in the top.  I thought since we move oceanside it might be nice to have a tiny bit of the decor.  THis is going in the mudroom.

I was going for the Beach Chic or Beach Casual look.  The push pins are sand dollars.
