At the Great American Cleanup after party in the City of Plano on April 8th, 2017,  we had a booth highlighting local upcycle artists. The event was a great success because of these AMAZING artists.  Please visit each one to learn more and purchase their one-of-a-kind creations.

Sheri was able to come out to the event and show off her awesome jewelry made of found items and broken jewelry as well as her t-shirts made from a printing technique using manhole covers.  You can see Sheri's creations at www.facebook.com/urbanprintcess/.

Misty had a wide range of items she created, including purses made of cigar boxes, plarn, and even bicycle tires.  A steampunk inspired mannequin was dressed for a night on the town in her outfit made of recycled bicycle tubes, the solar screen for a car, a steam punk corsage and jaunty hat made from a vinyl record, jewelry, computer and toy parts.
