The Opposite Of Downcycling


Note:  It's freakin' difficult to find art that references upcycling 
and repurposing, but I think this Earth Day print does the trick nicely.

You know what, Internets? It's been a while since we took a good, honest look at upcycled/repurposed hats, and I think we ought to do something about that.  Which is precisely what I'm gonna do right now, starting with this cocktail hat:


Looks pretty good for being made out of a old necktie, doesn't it?  I particularly like the little brooch added as an accent; it's a nice touch.


Next up is this ginormous flowery fascinator, which was made from what was once a fair prize ribbon. Not bad, huh?


Then there's this cheerful little stripey fascinator, which used to be a scarf before it was given new life as a hat.

And finally, here's a fascinator that--believe it or not--once started out as a vinyl record:

Or at least the base of it did.  But even so, it's still a rad transformation and I like it.  And hopefully you like it, too.

And that's it for today.  See you next week!
