Education and Work:
I’m a self-taught artist. I took classes in high school and college but my art has always been my comfort and my escape so I didn’t make it my major.
I am fortunate to have an understanding husband and two very patient little girls. I work in the evenings and during nap time. I love to sew, sculpt, paint and generally make lots of messes.
I am a Colorado girl who after 5 years overseas is finally settling back home. We’ve lived in Bogota, Colombia and Brasilia, Brazil.
Where to find me:
I have a little shop on Etsy called Beautiful Garbage where my upcycled work is sold. If you like what you’ve seen here on the site come and have a look.

What a gorgeous website – it’s so clean and easy to read. I love the pictures and I think you are inspiring me…although I probably have enough projects to worry about now. The angels are so sweet, I love those and I also really like the flower bouquets. Everything is lovely and so creative. Thank you for sharing your website with me…I have had great fun looking through it!
I think we have like minds. I also started a website (FunInTheMaking.net) where I share projects that I’ve made out of recycled materials. You are very creative! It is good to see others crafting responsibly. I’ll be back.
I just found your blog. Very cool stuff. I am not sure where you are located but I am on the board of The Scrap Exchange in Durham, NC. We collect industrial discards everyday in NC for distribution to artists, day care providers, crafters, teachers, etc. Might be something to look into.
Let’s be buddies…I love your thinking – check out my work at repurposing.etsy.com and look at the REPURPOSED section….it’ll give you an idea for the crazy thought my brain pumps out..

It’s always exciting for me to see another persons
zeal for everything craft and arty that uses the ‘green’ portion of the brain!
Happy to have come across your page!

I like your site a lot. Thanks for sharing with us. I am going to cut the pattern for the envelops and make some with my sons!
I love the fact that people are more interested in reuse, refurbish, repair, recylce, re-re-re…
I am from Mexico, so I know what it means to do more with less.
Great site and effort! I will check your site often.

I love your site. Have any ideas for wedding stuff? Check out my blog focusing on green weddings http://www.everythinggreenweddings.blogspot.com. If you have any ideas I would love to feature them on my site.
You make beautiful things, and I think it’s a good idea this recycling theme you have going.
I really liked the girls costumes for Halloween, so lovely!
Happy Holidays and you are welcome to make a visit at:
