Up-Cycling

Up-Cycling

I admit I am a little pack rat. Well, maybe a big pack rat. I hate people throwing away things with material or historical value. So many people have no respect for values anymore that it hurts.

Well, I like to collect things and give them a new life. I save everything that has any potential. Anything that can be fixed or up-cycled is NOT trash and can be reused in some way somewhere by someone. Sometimes I wish I had a huge warehouse and much more time.

Every time I take a cart of debris to the local dumpster field, I bring the cart back with some “trash to treasure” find.

I’m experimenting with everything. When I see “trash”, my imagination runs wild…
