Eco Monday: Check out the Details

So even though many of us have moved to paying our bills on line, we still get things in the mail from time to time that come in or with security envelopes. Over the past year I have really started studying them, I'm totally amazed by how many pretty patterns are out there! They have inspired me to start repurposing them in my work.

Here's an eco-chic necklace I totally enjoyed making with these fun patterned finds.



And a pair of bobbies that I love.



What little details do you notice that many others may overlook?

Here are a handful of really cool recycled items I found during a jaunt through the etsy site. Click on the photos to go to the shop where I found them. Happy Browsing!

What I've been working on...

So by now you know of my obsession with folding paper. I've been busy, when not at work, folding assembling and experimenting with paper. The latest creation is a 5" x 7" pouch made from repurposed magazines, lined with cotton fabric with a zipper and the outside is sealed with a water based sealant. I have been test driving this one in my purse as a makeup bag and it has held up REALLY well. My compact is peeking out to give a sense of the actual size.

Please tell me what you think and what you would expect to pay for something like this at an arts and crafts fair. I appreciate the feedback. Thanks fellow Crafties!

These will be making their debut at the Spring Bash at South Side on Lamar on May 16, 2009.
