Handbags created from recycled records

green — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 17:51:12 +0000

From Brazilian artist, Gueth Freitas, beautifully painted handbags made from recycled records. She paints on the black vinyl records with “nanquin” a Chinese ink …her designs are bold and punchy! She paints enough of the surface to give is a strong graphic look, however, if examined closely your admirers will see the classic tracks of the record. If you would like to give this as a gift, Novica includes and “artisan card” which tells the story of the artist and the materials used…it is a nice touch. There are several designs and different sizes available at Novica.com.

Earrings and pendant necklaces are also available from this artist using the same process of painting on recycled vinyl records. These items are playfully named “Samba Symphony” and “Samba Swing” and “Copacabana Melody”

Recycled Record Bookends

We know that containing the clutter in our life is often a full time job. ..but it can be a pleasant task with these funky recycled record bookends. Perfect for narrow shelves and the office. They are made by hand using two 45 RPM records which get attached to a recycled wood composite board. Unfortunately you can’t pick which artists will be displayed but I’ve heard that they often feature one side that is Motown! (no promises on that!)
$40.00 for the set of 2 at Uncommon Goods
