Turn Old Vinyl Into New Crafts

July 30th, 2009 at 08:00am Under Home Decor and Design

Recently, I have been helping my parents clean out their house. I have continually been shocked by how much they have been able to accumulate over the years. A few weeks ago, I stumbled into their old record collection. I was flabbergasted that my parents actually used to listen to good music. We were able [...]

Organic Painting

December 29th, 2008 at 05:16pm Under Green Crafting+ Painting

In this really interesting article, writer Leslie Richard, brings up a point I hadn’t thought about before.  She writes, “One of the things about being an artist that has always bothered me is it’s a hobby (or life) which is geared towards social & political change, yet is entirely toxic to the artist and the earth.”  It’s so true!  [...]
