    Love the jean purses......saw some other jean pocket things and they were so cute,but I can't remember what they were. did you see the recyled bags in my Algoma shanty days post? they are adorable. I saved a bird food bad that would make a good tote. I'd like to give it to someone who wants to make recyled totes........will have to ask my friend who sews.

Pit Beads

"Art in My Garbage" is a favorite theme I deamed up.
All that "stuff" in the trash-bin surely has another life as an "art supply" - Yesterday the discovery was date pits ;-D
They scrub up well, have a nice rustic, "woody" look and make great beads when drilled with a fine dremel bit. Have also just discovered "sea beans", along with the lovely shells on the Texas beaches. The teeniest bit of baby oil shines them up nice. Avocados, apple seeds, prune pits, etc. can all be used as well. http://www.beachbeans.com/bean_descriptions.html
