before & after no.3

vintage lampshade frame + salvaged burlap bean sack + about an hour

= a rustic lampshade

i want to make

ooh ooh ooh

I have been wanting to have a bag for the bohoMERCANTILE

my vision has been screenprinted canvas

until NOW...

I reposted this from an earlier post way back when and I did not list where found :(

we have a bundle of old burlap bean sacks just taking up space

though I am a bit intimidated to work with them

because they are quite messy

with all those loose fibers flying about

its a great idea anyway

and maybe something the bohos can create together

poor man's linen <:> recycled market bags

ok my heart is racing only slightly

AND...

I like this idea

found here

old pictures in old jars...nice!

all RIGged up

well...I have certainly found some great inspiration for the gypsyRIG

first off...

with Olive the vintage camper trailer

and there is more

while searching and reading and clicking around

I really like the clothes line across the room at ceiling height
to hang special memories and daily reminders

be here now...gypsy RIG

my girl Roz

has put some time in on creating her space

I introduced her to the addiction of blogging

only one short week ago and she has ran with it

there was lots of time spent juggling the demands

of our creative energies and those of our young children

but the hard little bit nerve racking job definitely paid off big

>>---> click on over to see what she has done <---<< 

so far so good my dear

the rebirth of a doily

found here

I have collected many a doily over the years

and I new the perfect something to do with them would present itself

sew on to clothes as pockets or decoration

add to pillows and purses

well this is a great idea

and quite simple

I like the use of an aged branch, gathered buttons and wild plumes

and maybe a bit of embroidery

...now just where are all those doilies hiding?

A man & his tools

little boys & their daddy's (actually mommy's) toys

like father like son

soon enough sweet sage we will have you busy as a bee

be here now...

it's all coming together slowly but surely

have a peek

does anyone else see a great way to recycle a t-shirt?

I am inspired to make a necklace

recycled and tribal like

simple and interesting

I am out to fringe

monkey business

all smiles
