Jazzing up your crap has a ass kicking week

 So this week my little Jazz up your crap line got a big boost.  It was featured on the Buzzfeed.  Here is a link if you would like to see it.  http://www.buzzfeed.com/alannaokun/etsy-seller-will-give-your-crappy-gifts-a-makeoverNow how cool is that.  Feeling very luck and happy over here.  The photo above is a jazzing up of crap for my main shop.  You can see links to it on the right of this post.  It is a soap dish I turned into a salute to Mardi Gras.  Thanks all for your time.
Love

Ugly Collage frames give it a new life

This post is  all about doing the unexpected. I came across this large beaten up wood frame meant to hold family photos.  Well I hate them to me collage frames like that usually have no real theme and that takes away from the individual photos.  So here is what I did.  First I painted the whole thing white and then I painted in the photos.  They are all woodland animals turned into little painted snap shots.  The wood looks so much fresher this antiqued white than it did as a scratched up beaten up old walnut.
 Then I loved how it looked but wanted something to unite it all so I went with the big vine and flowers scroll type thing.  It is not my favorite design but it would bring this together nicely.  Now I at the least of a creative work not some old half assed frame.  Hope you have enjoyed this post of Jazzing up your crap.
This will be available later this week in my etsy shop www.cappysue.etsy.com  Thanks for your time

First Jazzing up of 2013 taking on dull art

 I loved the general idea of these prints but they were boring and really needed some sprucing up.  A day later with some help from a little paint I have these.
 This one is listed in my Etsy shop.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/119413289/octopus-alien-and-sasquatch-invasion
Then
I have this one which is not in my shop yet.  These are a lot of fun and something you can do with most any old unwanted prints.  Hope this made you all smile.

New Year new crap to Jazz

Well this blog has been quiet for far to long we need to bring out our shockingly odd and loud crafts and let everyone know about them.  This was made with a broken Santa head.  When life gives you a broken Santa head you mount that bitch.  So here is to hoping we get a real following this year and see many crazy jazzings of crap.
Love
