...trash talk

...pppsss...

hey you...

yah

YOU!!

would you be interested in a little

trash talkin'??

aahhhhhh

come on ~

i know you must have some good trash to spill ~

 don't ya'?????

i'll make it easy for you

i'll start!!

i never know when i'm going to be inspired

and

just WHAT is going to inspire me!

like, let's say this pile of cast offs

yep!

that's right,

someones discards, from my thrift store...

apparently this basket has seen better days,

or

has it?!

hhmmmm

let's see,

if i just cut away this juicy pink jute rope...

(sooo NOT my color!)

and tear some linen/cotton "sheet" ribbons

i could make a few ruffles...

i

LOVE

my

sewing machine ruffler!

and perhaps,

a few hand stamped ribbons while i'm at it

 wouldn't hurt, right?!

i start by weaving my ruffled ribbons

in and out off the jute

like this ~

all the way down to the bottom of the basket

~pause~

are you feelin' it yet??

ready to talk trash??

~resume~

next comes the lace

you know it needs it!!

yes,

it IS a trash basket,

but can't it be lovely too??

weaving the lace in and out,

random like.

not so concerned with it being straight and precise...

where's the romance in the perfect???

then,  i VERY LIGHTLY sprayed

the wired rose petals with one of my favorite colors in a spray can...

wanna know what that is??

huh??

DO YA"???

then

SPILL * YOUR * TRASH!

 ha...

okay,

i can see you are NOT goin' to spill

so,

i'll tell you anyway...

my fav color is by krylon

it's called "nickel"

and is an indoor satin metallic paint

* it has sparkles...

* i like sparkles...

alot!

after my weaving was complete,

i found i had a little extra lace and ruffly ribbon

so

i made a rosette

and decided on the "inspire" hand stamped ribbon,

as this trash basket is for my studio

and inspiration is what i seek...

i used a HUGE zippy bag for my liner

because honestly,

i just didn't want to see an ugly grocery store bag in there!

and that's it!

my studio trash basket ~

to contain all my mess

beautifully :)

there now,

don't you feel better about dumping your trash??

lol!!

i know i do!
