Recycle Kitty for South Florida Swap-O-Rama

-

I drew this recycling kitty cat for the South Florida Swap-O-Rama that was at Trash to Treasure Creative Re-Use Center. It was put on by The Dirty Peaches Clothing Co who make clothing from 100% recycled, rescued, post-consumer or vintage materials. It was a super fun event where you bring in a bag of unwanted clothes and swap it for clothes you pick out at the swap. Then you got to go to one of the sewer/ designers and have your picks created into whatever you dreamed of. I had a flowery shoulder bag made from pajama pants and a scrap floral fabric and a tank top made with more of the floral scrap and string. Also you could have one of 3 winning designs screen printed on your items using the Yudu screenprinting machine. My recycling kitty was one of those designs and it was so cute and exciting to have the kitty on different crafted items. This was a two day event and at the end was a fashion show to show off the creations. Can't wait for more events from these crafty ladies. Now i am dreaming of having a sewing machine..
Peace & Love!

i am back home from costa rica. it was beautiful. i will miss this sunrises, palm trees, fresh fruits, avacado, bannana smoothies, shell walks with sisters, little sister saying 'i am gonna fall in love with him' about every other boy she saw, waves, warm water, sunshine, surfing with dad and rick, zip lines through the rainforest, waterfalls, climbing to the top of the waterfall, bicyles, friendly dogs, mountains, free birds, wild horses, coffee con leche with mom and sis, sand castels, black beans and crackers, sunsets, feathers and uno. i will miss all that and more. costa rica is a lovely place i wish my home was more like it. People really work together there always lending a helping hand and working together as a community. Also the main transportation is by bike. It is a wonderful thing to see more bikes in a parking lot than cars. I wish more people would cherish there bikes. And how all you really need is love and family. They build a home around that and thats all you...
