Birthday Greetings to Maram!
Monday's Featured Item of the day by Curl Girl Designs
Over the next month (and hopefully beyond) you will hear a great deal about environmentally friendly or 'eco chic' creations in our blog. Several of our members are passionate about this cause and incidentally our group is sponsoring a fabulous crafting event in May with this theme. We've decided to challenge ourselves and our friends to incorporate some sort of Earth loving elements into their present and/or future artwork and wares. Even by taking baby steps toward this goal or beginning to think about how to "make it work"....we hope to bring about a positive change in our community.
One of our team members currently "walking the walk" is Claire of Curl Girl Designs. Claire describes herself as a midwest girl with a passion for bags. All of the leather she uses in her purses, wristlets and carry-alls is 100% recycled and repurposed. What's old CAN be made new again. Each item is one of a kind! A peaceful vibe accompanies her chic creations. You might see tree branches, koi, or doves appliqued onto one or more bags, as well as the words "peace" and "hope." We definitely recommend you visit her etsy shop and purchase your next bag from our Curl Girl. Links follow....
Thursday's Featured item of the day by Maram
Another member of our team trying to be as eco-friendly as possible is Mara. Her etsy shop is called Maram. There you will find one of a kind pins, purses, zippy bags, hair accessories and pocket mirrors. Much of the material she uses is recycled from old neckties, sheets and sweaters. She is always striving to improve her skills and produce high quality, unique, affordable items.
Check out this felted wool zippy bag. We love the bold colors! It measures 9.5 inches wide by 7 inches deep. The flower and button details are all hand sewn. Once again, this was fashioned from what was a sweater in a "former life." Knowing you're keeping one more item from going into a landfill somehow makes shopping slightly more guilt-free, doesn't it?
Please take a moment to stop in to browse the eclectic selection of items to be found in Mara's shop using the following link:
Have a great day!
