I am not exceptionally skilled in arts and crafts. But I am known to put in hours and effort trying to create things myself. Decades of trial and error have taught me to value quality over quantity when choosing materials. Over the years I have come across old garments, cloths and tools. Often the original shape or make has no longer purpose. My tendency to be prudent had lead to a dilemma: trying to store everything in hope of possible future use or trying to find someone in need of that specific item. Wasting was never an option. I began to create new from old. This blog presents a few of my projects and is meant to be an inspiration for finding new aspects on decaying treasures.
