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. ...

Hello and welcome to my Blog. I have been inspired to make a blog by complete strangers. Artists in particular. And since i dream to be in thier shoes i have created my own. My name is Raychel sometimes Rachel. Currently 23 years of living. Born and raised in Sunny South Florida. I enjoy Florida mainly for the beaches and the sunshine. I wish sometimes thier would be a better vibe around. That people would slow down and appreciate things more. Recently i have been doing more and more to try and make the best out of things. I have joined the green revolution and hope that more people decide to do thier part. I also have been painting more recently. I typically only paint for gifts to give to friends. This past week i had 4 paintings to do for 4 special friends. I need to make more time to paint. Once i make one i always feel like i should make an other but sometimes my paint is abandoned for months. This is an example of something that inspires me. This artist is Kate Suton: http://www....
