Scrabble Tile Pendants by RG Designs


I wasn't planning on blogging this morning, but when I saw these recycled scrabble tile pendants on Artfire I just had to share. RG Designs is the work of Renee G., a self-described "happy artist" from Green Bay Wisconsin. Her Artfire shop is full of beautiful handcrafted pendants made from recycled glass tile. The 1 x 1 inch pendants are sealed with a non-toxic craft resin, then finished with a sterling silver plated medium ball. A 24 inch silver plated ball chain necklace can be purchased separately for an extra couple of bucks, bringing the grand total of most pendants to something under $10 Canadian (shipping exluded).

As if the gorgeous variety of designs listed in Renee's shop were not enough, she also offers custom ordering for pendants with your own photo or image for no extra cost. And, she sends each one out, custom or not, in a little box all ready for giving. I think this happy artist is going to make a lot of other people very happy, too.

RéCréations: Eco-conscious clothing for kids



Waste not, want not. This summer I've added one-of-a-kind t-shirts to my line of recycled clothing for kids, RéCréations.

Available in baby sizes (6 -24 months) in Montreal at Le Nid De La Cigogne on St-Viateur and at Tralala on Fairmount. Sizes up to 8 years are hanging out on myArtFire and Etsy stores. Have a look and let me know what you think!
