Creative upcycle and downcycle ideas
Margot Potter, The Impatient Crafter has outdone herself with this fantastic re-purposing of old Spirograph spiral wheels into a whimsical necklace. I love the color and scale of this piece. I can’t wait to hit the thrift stores in search of an old Spirograph toy.
If you are a fan of adding subtle elements to your art this idea for embossing shapes and textures could be just the technique you will want to try. I haven’t had much success in the past but the tips included in the post over at The Curious Printmaker on how to blind emboss just might turn that around.

Thanks so much for the write up! I truly appreciate it! I had such fun making these. I was thinking…wouldn’t they look cool with spin art backgrounds?
Cheers,
