I got news on this day (and I am just now blogging about it almost a week later) that I was being hired for a part-time retail position at one of my favorite Portland places, SCRAP! I start tomorrow, May 3rd, and have to admit I am extremely excited because I love garbage and I love their waste reduction and education mission.
Reclaimed Material: wood scrap
Other Material: none
Tools: paint, paint brushes, pencil
How I did it: This was one of the first designs I sketched out in my lil' notebook, and probably one of my favorites. I sketched out the drawing on the wood and painted it.
What I would do differently: The only thing I don't really like about this one are the corner decorations. This picture was taken the next morning, so I really wasn't this far along on the 26th.
My 2012 resolution is to create a recycled craft everyday from discarded items. I am sure some crafts will turn out great...and others not so much, but I will admit those. I hope these experiments inspire people to create things from items they would usually throw away. This is not necessarily and instructional blog, but a journal of my creative journey, but I hope this sparks ideas for creative upcycling for you. If any instructions are needed, just ask.
