I was looking at the Etsy.com site of my Recyclist friend who dabbles in a wee bit of upcycling. She's made a neat bike seat bag made out of upcycled inner tubes (seen in the photo above). I decided to see what other type of bike-related crafty crafters I could find on Etsy.com. Turns out it wasn't that hard (just type in "bike" in the search bar). But I've winnowed the results to some of the ones I like:
- Julien Jaborska - belts from recycled tires and candle holders from chainrings
- handgrenade's - inner tube "jewelry", cute in an amateurish way
- 1.by.liz - beautiful bike clocks made out of chain rings and such
- I Scream Seams - bikes on t-shirts and wallets
- Hillarie Tasche - bike prints
- moreheaddesign.com - upcycled bags from bike tires and bike stands
- bicycle paintings - a la Greg Curnoe?
- the bold banana - bikes and birds on t-shirts and bags
If you tend to gravitate to bike-related art and crafts for your house, or if you've considered getting furniture out of old bike parts, then that means you're obsessed with bikes. Tell your story, we're here to help.
