I made "upcycled" sweatpants, using 3 hoodies which were damaged and destined for the bin.

The pattern is custom, I drafted it for my measurements. YouTube tutorials helped a lot.

The color blocking is inspired by ThriftyTroutxMedeArt @ Etsy. I added orange accents, next time I'll push the color and details much further!

SiltiCrafts creatrix Kristine

I'm a messy crafter. In my Witch Town destruction is the mother of creation and chaos is a fertile ground.

My favourite part of doll crafting is this. Not styling or dressing up, but discovering the character, finding its' essence through colours, stiffness, lightness, roughness, flow and I dare to say vibration of the fabric and shiny trinkets. I use pre-loved, unwanted, outworn, broken etc materials to make my dolls. Those materials are donated and sometimes sent to me from across 7 seas. Sometimes the choice is between landfills and my craftroom, between announcing something a trash or it becoming a treasure again. I work with former belongings of those alive and deceased, giving them second life in my dolls. And I think it just adds value to them. It makes them special.

Sometimes it's the materials that lead the way to the finished doll, not my ideas. In that sense I myself as an artist feel more like a door, like gate for these creatures to enter the world, not the god that creates them. It's my job to serve them and find what they need, not make them exactly how I've seen them with my minds' eye. The process of making a doll doesn't happen with empty mental space, this is where inner conversation happen and I dare to call them conversations with dolls. I don't literally hear them talking (I've been asked this, so to be clear...), but that inner conversation happening while I craft helps me to find new perspectives, reminds me of my values, shows me the way, so I dare to say that dolls talk to me, materials reveal secrets and I have a lot of teachers right at my fingers. My only teachers in doll making have been dolls that I make.

Does this make any sense to you or I sound like the lady who has lost her sanity long ago?

A pencil case with an elastic made at work! The material is samples of what is probably table cover material, 100% polyester, had a waxy feel to it and a bit sheer. I had fun mixing the pastelly colours and deciding what product to make out of them! The white back is the same material, just a larger piece. Lining is an old pillow case. Pretty much everything at work is donated, so it's another entirely recycled product!

Had to fiddle around a bit cause I used a too short zipper. 😅

#unjourunephoto #photomarch JOUR 24 : UN OBJET ANCIEN AUJOURD'HUI

Créer du neuf avec du vieux, c'est ce que je préfère ! Avec Itkacréations, j'aime magnifier l'insignifiance !
Ici des boucles d'oreilles créées à partir d'une vieille tasse en porcelaine, une autre en dentelle issue d'un vieux sous-tif 🤭, et un p'tit ourson, né sur une vieille disquette !

Collage de photos montrant mon travail upcyclé : deux boucles d'oreilles. L'une issue d'une vieille tasse en porcelaine, l'autre créée à partir d'un vieux soutien-gorge (!). La dernière création est un ourson dessiné sur une vieille disquette.

I made a case for the binoculars, using the old jeans while going down the scritti politti rabbit hole tonight on YouTube. Snap buttons coz I can’t stand Velcro. I’m happy with it. *but darnit, my fingertips hurt*

The original plastic case became icky n sticky, so after tracing to make the pattern, got chucked in the trash.

The newly made case — closed with the binoculars inside. It’s hand sewn using some old blue jeans and blue bias tape and a tiny gold dragonfly accent on the flap. The binoculars’ box is in the background.
The same blue jean binoculars case — open to show the two snap buttons for the closure.
