As an early retiree I finally had the time to let my creative side run a little wild. I love the idea of being able to recycle old items into something beautiful AND useful. Pre-owned jeans, seem to me, to be the perfect medium to express this side of me. They come in all colors of the rainbow, the material is tough and long wearing, they are plentiful which makes them the perfect medium for turning them into all sorts of items. As I am new to the field of creating for other people, I am starting out small, but I hope to expand the variety of items made from pre-worn jeans in the near future.
