Once Again Recycled Designs

June 1, 2018 by Erika Jurney Leave a Comment

I love these dinner napkins and grocery bags made from upcycled vintage linens.

Once Again Recycled Designs: My name is Megan and I am an Interior Designer. The inspiration behind my creations is coming up with unique, functional designs that make life a little easier and saving the world…well sort of… I wanted to find a way for my designs to stand out and also to do my part by recycling. So I decided to take on the challenge of designing with 2nd hand finds at thrift stores, garage sales, and yes, even the garbage. “One mans trash is another mans treasure” I have discovered pillow cases make great bags, linens can be chopped up and sewn back together as baby blankets, pillows, coasters, placemats…the possibilities are virtually endless. I have two amazing children who also inspire me create fun kids stuff. So…will see how it goes…

quejimenez /kay’ he-men-ez/, noun, moniker for artist kiandrajimenez.
a boutique of artisan crafts, original art created by kiandra jimenez.

quejimenez started in 2005 after years of me creating art and other crafts for myself, family and friends. it has become my vehicle to sale all that i do from orginal artwork, handbags to quilt and fiber art.
everything i create is out of love and purpose. love of creating and the purpose of spreading love and goodwill.
my hands live to create…so i create.

i am a self-taught artist, who loves to play with all types of materials. i create from a place inside that thrives to find balance, peace of mind, love, and understanding of myself and all things around me. i love to tackle the emotional side of life in my art and hand-crafted bags and accessories.

although, i am new to selling on etsy, i have been creating art and various things for the past nine years. my art work and art bags have been shown and sold in local galleries and the riverside metropolitan museum.

although some may separate my art pieces from my artisan hand-bags, in my heart both are created as pieces of art; the process, the materials, and the media often intersect and overlap.

Sail Cloth Bags

Reiter8‘s Story

Simple, clean, bold graphics and recycled sailboat sails are united to create handmade products that are one-of-a-kind and kind to the environment. Reiter8 bags are modern, sporty, fun, functional, eye catching and extremely durable.

Working with recycled sails is exhilarating. Each sail has a different ‘hand’ – texture, density, and crispness – a testament to its history. I have yet to come across two sails that are exactly alike which that keeps my work fresh and Reiter8 products truly unique.
