I have been doing is brain storming for some new ideas and been on the prowl for new materials. Locally I went and checked out the local leather wholesaler in my town. What is sold to the public is scraps. Scrap bins are divided up by size and depending on what you get is then sold by weight. Larger pieces are around $6 lb. I really enjoyed looking through the bins and loved my finds. I can't wait to get started on a few projects. If you live in western NC check it out. If not then get your gum shoes on and see what sort of scraps are around your town.
Here are a few of the scraps I bought, the one that looks like snow actually shimmers!
Today I discovered another cool material source, and a free one at that! One of my favorite Craft Bloggers, who provides endless inspiration to me, is sponsoring a craft give away! Craft Passion is the coolest site. I love that she is a working mother and still finds the time to make the coolest stuff. If you haven't checked out this site you are really missing out. Just use the link above and follow the instructions for entering in the contest!
The last site I will steer you towards is MBU's sister - Adorn by Vera. On my FB page you will see what inspires me as well as what is for sale in my etsy store. Each are "under construction" check back for update about each!
So - shop locally, repurpose, recycle, reclaim! Craft on!
