VertUpcycling's Profile

Bio

hello!

i am a college kid reigning from Allentown, but am currently a student at the University of Pittsburgh.
growing up, while kids down the street would have lemonade stands, i sold cards and my drawings.
most avidly in high school i started making accessories. jewelry has been my downfall. not only do i create it, but i just cannot seem to buy enough of it. it's getting out of hand a bit-- i have seven jewelry boxes! recently, i've started sewing and i love making cute [green!] purses and bags.
i have been upcycling since i could use my hands and i believe that everything can be used at least twice-- even tooth brushes & paper shreds!

some of my greatest inspirations: tim burton, coco chanel, audrey hepburn, betsey johnson, christian lindskog, paul mccartney, my mom, my nanna, vincent price, kevin smith, dick valentine, kat von d.


[i have to say this]
i personally make all of my items by hand at my home. you are paying for the time it takes for me to create each piece. i am in no way affiliated with the companies whose logos may be on my work. i do not place them intentionally and am not taking their work as my own.


HEY! i have another etsy -- Zene.etsy.com
