I just listed a new item in my Etsy store — Upcycled notepads. Constructed (almost) entirely out of materials destined for the wastebasket; I made 7 pads with approximately 75 sheets each, 3″x3″ (same size as Post-It notes), glue-bound, with a custom stamp on the back of my logo intertwined with the universal sign for recycling. All of them have similar content but are truly one-of-a-kind.
Every year, Halloween creeps up on me slowly, and then is swiftly gone for another 364 days. I decided this year I was going to put some effort (and a lot of spare time) into crafting a cool costume for parties and trick-or-treater greeting. There were a few other ideas, but I ultimately decided to go as Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk.
I took the first half of this Labor Day weekend to make good on at least one art project, and by Saturday night it was done. The idea was to take a contemporary standing lamp and make it feel a little less utilitarian and a little more personal.
