In honour of my attendance to see Handmade Nation (at The Mercury Lounge) tomorrow (Tuesday) night, I will just make a quick post about a really easy DIY recycling project. They are by no means done (I still want to exact-o up a cool stencil appliqué, and need to purchase some spray glue or lacquer to add in tiny collage pieces), but I think they look pretty cool the way they are. Maybe I will leave some of them the way they are, and work on the rest. I've taken some old activist and election buttons and spiced them up. This isn't a new concept- it just involves a bit of spray paint, and maybe some further design elements.
I have limited spray paint supplies right now, and craft supplies in general, it seems. I have an exact-o knife, but no suitable stencil making material, and no clear spray paint or glue... and also a missing glue gun!!! But, with the paint colours I do have, I decided to go with an Acid-wash planet inspired theme.
I'll be sure to post any updates in design, but until then, you can have a look that the photos so far. I wasn't wearing my glasses when taking them or choosing the best edits, by the way, and I think some of them are a tiny bit out of focus. Poor lighting...
