A Month of Makery

Teaching a weekly class on The Art of Upcycling is really 20% instruction and 80% planning, practicing, and making samples of what I’ll teach others to make. You know I love living in that briar patch, spending time every week practicing what I’ll preach, er, I mean teach.

Pinterest is, of course, a godsend when it comes to searching for inspiration or examples. But, in case you haven’t gotten much further than pinning things you find on Pinterest, I’ll let you in on a little secret: nothing comes together exactly like they appear on that site. And that’s good, in many ways, otherwise we’d all just be reproducing the pretty things we see, whereas with a fair amount of failure, there’s plenty of room for creativity.
