Don’t Just Buy Handmade – Buy Upcycled Handmade

bits
Those are the words of wisdom from Rhonda Brewer-Chaparro aka “oddartist”. This prolific (and eco-friendly) California artist has an Etsy shop, but these racy earrings (made from the ‘tasty parts’ of recycled romance novels) are from her Zibbet shop. The line is called Naughty Bits, and of course, you’ll never find the same bit of naughtiness twice!
$12.00 for each pair of earrings at Zibbet
(folks, this is a serious good deal!!)

Hey folks, you know the dreaded holidays are coming up and you’ll need little gifts to give the cube-mates and your hair dresser and the lady who is so helpful at the dry cleaners. Grab a bunch of these NOW! and have them on hand to give out when you need a little eco-friendly gift! Everyone needs magnets and these are made out of recycled fabric, recycled telephone books and recycled junk mail.

Recycled copper creations by Beryl

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

Created from recycled roof copper, you need to check out the work of Minnesotan artist Beryl Wells Hamilton. Her functional pieces: baskets, bowls, fountains, bird baths and boxes are often treated with boric acid, heated to red hot and then quenched in water resulting in beautiful colors and patinas. She also has a line of decorative figures which are whimsical and cute. You can choose between frogs, turtles, pigs, roosters and more. I recommend her site if you are looking for an early xmas present or a winter wedding gifts. Beautiful and ecofriendly!
Prices range from $60.00- $90.00 for Baskets and Bowls, $89.00 for Pigs at Copper Creations by Beryl
