It's the Kitsch


We have all expressed our challenges with screen printing so I'm taking a diversion. Last summer I started a recycled aluminum can project, I made it through one can with 3 cuts. Saturday, I showed a friend of mine my template and she was a source of inspiration for ways to use my cut outs-provided I make more cut outs. On Monday, craftzine posted this photo. Another upcycler that loves the kitsch, only she finishes her projects, I give her a gigantic hats off AND a thank you for the inspiration. Now, what did I do with those aluminum cans?


P.S. The craftzine Facebook challenge this month is upcycling, right up our alley! There is a request for images to be sent of projects made from upcycled treasures. Have a good idea? Send them a photo!

  1. Oh girl, we were on the same page this morning! I had visited that link earlier and ooh'ed and aah'ed at her craftiness! Dang, I wish I had some aluminum cans!

    Maybe you should consider a pair of these...http://www.superiorglove.com/Mediumweight_55_gramspr_Kevlar_Glove_P101.html

  2. I need those gloves! Of course, I could always borrow the boys racing pants with the kevlar knee pads and craft us a pair. Then we hit the recycling bins!
