HAHAHAHAHA! Amen to that! Actually, I used to have a pretty huge collection of beer bottle caps. I'd buy different brands, just for the caps. (This was a wholly different life-chapter, by the way.) Sadly, I could never quite find the right project, and I finally recycled them. I was totally kicking myself when I saw that chair. :-)

You know, I just have to love a craft that insists I drink a whole bunch of beer to make…

Thank you for stopping by, Penny! Maybe it's time for a group of Aussie artists to put on a Recycled Arts Festival!

Hello,
I live in Australia, and I'm into recycling in Arts – I'm in love with the stuff you have shown here. I wish I could come to the Festival in Vancouver – maybe one day. I also love the zines. You have an interesting site. Well done! Miss Penny.

Hi, Vonda! It was so great to meet you and Janet, and I'm so glad to hear you had a great weekend. Your work is so beautiful, and you deserve great success with it. Hope Oaks Park goes great, too. If I can answer any tech-questions, please feel free to email me anytime. I geek out on that stuff quite a bit. :-)

Wow this looks like great fun. I had no idea there was such a thing! Maybe next year I can come down from Vancouver Island for it!

I wasn't able to make it out there myself, so thanks for the recap. I LOVE the Tiffany on a Stick. Will definitely be checking out the websites of some of the crafters here.

I was waiting to hear about this after you tweeted you were attending. Looks as cool as I thought it would be. The tossed and found experiment is really amazing….kind of crazy what people will through away. How hard would it have been for the owners of this stuff to drop it off at the local goodwill? Man people are lazy!!

The Tossed and Found experiment is pretty cool. I see some things I could use just in this pic here. I'll have to check them out further. Thanks for the info.

Yay!!!

It was super fun to meet your mom and dad. They are sweet! It was great to see you and I'm glad you got to enjoy the show.

I also LOVE that pink marble ball of Megan's. She told me it's a pink ball covered with clear marbles, which gives it that translucent pink glow.

Thanks for posting the photo of my pinwheels in full spin!!!

Diane,

Thank you so much for your awesome photos and excellent blog post covering the event. It's really a great event! I'm glad you guys made it out and I'm sorry (again) that we didn't get to chat at all. Sunday was completely overwhelming in the Tossed and Found booth! :D

Hi, Diane! Thanks so much for featuring my art here! Looking up and seeing you walking toward me yesterday was pure joy. I'm Still smiling!

I agree with you about Christine's spinners. They are AWESOME. I'm lucky enough to have one myself, now. Yay!

And that bowling ball of Megan's is one of my favorites, too. Presently scheming....

Great post--I won't even try to comment on the rest of the photos, but will say the creativity at the Festival could probably be felt from outer space. It is purely wonderful to just be a part of it, and see the fabulous creations of other people.
