Making Art Affordable and Repurposing

My girlfriend says that it is always fun to give me her cast offs and broken jewelry because my eyes twinkle and light up and I have an extra hop in my step from the excitement of making new what has become old and unused.  It is truly one of my favorite feelings...that is why to be mentioned in another creative art blog about doing just that, keeping costs down and reusing what I already have is an HONOR.
