Just poppin' in today to show you what I've been working on for weeks now! My urban Alice in Wonderland show I host every year is called ~WONDER~ and it's always so much fun! I pull out all the crazy stuff I have and have a ball making recycled creations of all sorts! Mini Alice-scapes are in the windows here at Artspace and ready to tickle your imaginations! Hit me up about more info on the show, upcoming classes (that start in the Fall!!) or how to 💚♻️💚♻️💚♻️💚

I made some pretty little boho chandy's from some little outkast lampshades and some gorgeous trim that had been seeking new life for a minute now. These happy little upcycled shades will brighten any little patio or garden spot. These can easily be outfitted to hold a little battery op, LED, or solar light. I can show you how!

C'mon! Let's upcycle some stuff!! 😁✌️

Here's another pretty cool DIY if you're into the quirky stuff like I am. We made several of these fun art lamps year before last for a show and sadly (and happily) most of them have gone on to great homes but there were a few that just never seemed to find to their way on away from me. I completely always loved this particular one so I'm ok with it. But this was made with a thrift store lamp for $2, a thrift store enameled colander with pink accent design that was $3, a can of the coolest pink paint I could find $5 and an industrial lightbulb from Home Depot. I painted the desk it's sitting on (that was a freebie) the same deep pinkety pink color as the lamp...and you guessed it...another

So, I'll start by posting some cool DIY'S like this one.

I bought this cool and very large old vintage suitcase from an auction for a $1. Of course, I had hoped that it would be in super great condition inside but sometimes they simply are not. It's just the nature of vintage suitcases. But for a buck I took the chance to see what it looked like on the inside. The inside was not such that I would want to put things inside or carry things around in it and after a couple of days of thinking about what I would do with it I had kind of resigned myself to maybe tossing it in the refuse bin.

But as I sat, staring at this cool old suitcase, contemplating putting it in the dumpster, I got the idea that maybe I didn't need to open it or use it for necessarily anything at all. After all, it had a great shape and color. Maybe I could just park it somewhere for the "look" of it, ya know? Then the lightbulb went on ...why couldn't I use it for a "sign" if you will. Not opening it, but using the big broad side of that thing as a lovely albeit little billboard space? A quote, a painting, etc.

I also had several pages of giant sticker letters that someone else had passed along to me after they had used what they needed from them and let's be honest, sometimes it's hard to imagine ever going back to use the rest of them, am I right? But the way my mind works, it's really hard for me to throw something like that away too, and those that know me well, pass me things like that hoping they will get used and usually, eventually, they do.

So cheap suitcase plus used stickers later and I had a cool "sign" to use at the outdoor markets for the sweet price of just one $1. And a fab DIY is born. ✨💙✨

So, I have a design business called KrazyHeartDezigns that relies on remaking post consumer goods into RëLoVëd products but I'm taking it all to a different level this year. Because of my new work space in Loveland Creatorspace I've decided to launch and have meetups and group events to help give you great ideas for redesigning things in your own life. We will have monthly gatherings where you can get help to remake your favorite things into new and exciting goods.
