How about you ball gown wedding dresses? Have a great collectors story? What do you collect? I'd love to hear. Where (do you find them): The beach, on the side of the road (discarded). Op-shops. (That's Aussie for thrift store cheap party dresses.) Isn't Earth Day magical? I think it's a wonderful time to celebrate the natural beauty of our fabulous planet, and here on dress especially blue the vintage wedding dresses, to appreciate the joy and brilliance behind eco-forward, future-friendly handmade thinking: , recrafting, and rescuing objects to make our handmade world a better cheap cocktail dresses, more sustainable place! When (did you start): As a child. In her own beautifully organic handmade art homecoming dresses 2013, I love how Helle captures the magnificent wonder of our everyday world through her jewelry and sculptures made from pre-loved materials, inspired by the natural world. Be sure to visit her Earth affirming and her inspiring and beautiful for more moving expressions of the natural in our world. ![]() ![]() What (are you collecting): Beach Detritus: driftwood, sponges, shells, bones, shark egg cases, plastic beach detritus, bird's nests country wedding dresses, old needlework, tapestry wool vintage lace wedding dresses, old concrete pots 2011 prom dresses cheap, plastic bags and truck names.
I just love seeing what folks are collecting. I guess I feel it tells us just a little bit about what inspires them, what they love, and what they choose to surround themselves with in their homes. Today, I'm delighted to present the next in an ongoing series here on the dress Blog: . First published on my own little blog purple prom dresses,, it's 11 and a half quick questions with a wonderful artist on what they're collecting (apart from their art supplies!). Eco living is true magic beaded tops, indeed. Here's to eco artists, our handmade magicians, who celebrate Earth Day, everyday!

I'm so struck by the sheer beauty of her seashore findings and the way she's charmingly crafted pieces of garbage into meaningful art with her collection lace plus size dresses. Why (do you love them): I love the beauty and complexity of the natural objects from the beach. The bird's nests are exquisitely made and are full of symbolism. The concrete pots come in weird and wonderful shapes and have an interesting patina. The truck names are just plain silly. The discarded plastic bags are a great medium for my crocheted sculptures. (Editor's Note: , anyone?) Happy Earth Day, magicians! How (many do you have prom ball gowns?): Too many to count flower girl dresses. What (‘s an interesting story behind one): One of my favourite nests is lined with soft fluffy white fur. I found it on the grass very close to a house where a little Maltese terrier lives. Its master brushes its coat and throws the fur into the garden, where the birds find it and bring it home to their nests. Where (do you keep them): In my workroom in boxes, on display in the living room, or the garden. So wonderful, Gooseflesh, thank you!
