Young, Fun and Hip

Hanging out with my girls is one source of inspiration. I can act like a teenager again and that really inspires me to create cool items for the younger generation.
Creating Elegance Through Upcycling
15 Jan
I’ve always thought about life not as odds ‘n’ ends, but as odds and evens. There are those in life that are paired with another and those left standing alone. That is the yin and yang of life. And then there are the evens that flank the odds. So when you have 2 and add 1, you have an odd and an even. Two can set one apart. And three is the most stable number there is consisting of one even and one odd.

Pin ItOld Vintage Recycled Made New!

All Little Red packaging is made from 80% recycled materials! I currently work from my home but am hoping to convert a garage into an eco-workshop within the next year – this will involve solar panels and a mini wind turbine to provide the energy I’ll need, plus nifty ways of keeping the heat (very important when working in Scotland!).

My source is first of all nature, also I look around magazines, stores and the internet (of course). Daydreaming is a common denominator.

I love to repurpose items and make something old out of something new. I believe that discarded items can be used again in anew and interesting way that gives them a whole new life. and I take it on as my job to figure out what the new life for that item is.
Upcycled Soft and Flirtatious Accessories

If you know where the fabric came from and you can choose organic or free-trade materials, and you are the laborer, you can have more control over your impact on the world and you can lighten your footprint. Lastly, I think we are in an era of personalization, when just buying mass-produced items everyone in the neighborhood has is finally losing its cache, and instead, when you make something for yourself to wear or to decorate your home, you can express your own personality through your creation rather than passively allowing a corporation to do it for you.

Laughter and a light heart is the very best recipe for great art. Seems the condition of our hearts is what shines in our art.

I am not a fan of overly mass produced art or home decor. I like the idea of having a unique piece of art in my home rather than something that is in every home down the block. There are so many talented artists in the world that deserve a chance to show the world what they can do but never get the chance because of mass production. What you purchase or make homemade becomes something you treasure and appreciate more and may even pass down through your family.
