My angel is beautiful and I love having her watching over me while I work. I am a great believer in recycling and I commend this innovative of old cans. Would highly recommend. Thank you.

My view from my little work station.
This is my little space that I do all my work. Nothing big or fancy just a rectangular card table is all I need.
Spring = Flowers. Being in CA and in another Drought I went for a drought tolerant solution for my front porch
Time to cut and clean cans. I will be honest this is my least favorite part of the process.
Fowl on my fence, I sell ornament varieties of these in my shop.

Repurposed Aluminum Cans

I have always enjoyed doing crafts and being creative. It wasn't until I have gotten older that I have been looking at items I would normally throw in the trash or recycle bin and wondering what can I make instead of adding to the ever growing trash and recycling crisis. I first started this shop with repurposed soda cans made into butterfly wind-chimes, now I make ornaments out of aluminum cans using various die-cuts. Don't let the word "ornaments" just be associated with Christmas; I have these all over my garden. Some are hanging from trees, bushes and others I have fastened to the top of my fence. I also like to give the gift of live plants or a bottle of wine that I would adorn with a ornament.
