Jazz up your crap stealing yours souls or noggins

Jazz up your crap the ugly figurine addition.  So it has bee a week I have had lots of work on custom stuff going on.  However I came across this in my own pile of things I used to love but would now like to toss off a cliff.  I thought it could use some sprucing. 
Then the magical folks over at Custommade.com first wrote me to tell me they never took an application from then wrote me back to say no thank you keep your bat shit to yourself.  I kid I am sure they are very nice people but I used that rage of not getting accepted to inspire this.  OK so maybe a bit tongue and cheek but you know we creators need our inner rage. 
So consider this your friendly reminder that if you have terrible things sitting at your house send them to me and I will give them a whole new life for you and in return you get your new item and nightmares.  If you want to purchase a jazzing up of your crap go here.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/89376408/jazz-up-your-crap?ref=shop_home_active_4

It has been forever but I am back.

This is what happens when I find an old ugly ass frame.  It was wood and weird sizes.  At first I thought about making a purse out of it but then I thought hey what does a ugly ass old frame need but some portraits of peanut butter and jelly.  I wrapped the frame with a little batting then used my heavy duty staple gun to attach the fabric to it.  It is not perfect and won't go in my shop but it was a fun trial and I saw a couple of things.  First you do not need to leave extra fabric for the inside just pull not super taunt and it will let you work with it.  Second less fucking batting it looks like it has butt cracks in several places.  Hope you have enjoyed this idea.

Ipod to headstone New jazzed up crap has happened.

So this might be one of my favorite jazzing up of craps yet.  My friend got this for her son from a lady who was selling her used one and it was a total fucking lemon.  Then the person was rude to her about taking it back.  So my friend because the creative soul she is said screw that and sent it to me to turn into something for her.
I turned it into the headstone you see in the little Halloween decoration you see there.  It has a little gargoyle, ghost and some flowers on the grave.  I hope this makes you all laugh.  Remember it is the perfect season to send me something to jazz up for your holidays.  Here is a link to buy your own jazzing up of crap if you need it.  https://www.etsy.com/listing/89376408/jazz-up-your-crap?ref=shop_home_feat

Holy shit it has been a month.

Well it has been a month since I was featured all over the place and I am still getting sales and contacts from that.  Oddly enough none for Jazzing up your crap but that does not stop me I jazz up my own crap when left with nothing else.  So this is what I did to a leprechaun statue that was all beige and frankly boring as fuck.  I hope you enjoy the little commentary on each image.

Newest Jazzing up of crap

So this last week something I did for fun and put in my shop because hey why not went viral that has been a lot of fun.  Well I also got some nice sales from it but I wanted to do a new jazzing to show the folks that have been nice enough to follow the fan page. 
This week I realized that the husband had a small army of remote controls laying around this house.  I hate having one here and there and you can never find the one you need.  Well that is when the jazzing came into play.  I took this basket made it a lid and turned it into a little ship.  It has a penis up in the look out.  a old fisher man and my only Sea Wee doll.  I loved those as a kid so I bought this beaten up one.  I hope this makes you all laugh it will be in my living room sitting on the coffee table for some time.  That is provided I can keep the cats off it.

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.

When Jazzing up your crap goes wrong

So as you all know I love to jazz up not only your crap but my own. I have always been very big on making little things we need if I have the skill. Then there are times like this when it seems I was just the tiniest bit drunk when using said skill. Hey I have toaster cozy I am proud of don't you judge me.

So the idea here was our giant ass wall AC unit lets in a little cold air even when the vents are shut. I was to make a cozy to go over it much the way you put a draft block on the bottom of your door. I had a worn and broken heating blanket that was off white and the texture has become not far off from felt. So my mind went back to those grade school days when teachers had felt boards and those lovely holiday felt cut outs they smacked up there. I loved them and would stare at them for hours while pissing away my education. Thank you Mrs. Rhodes. I thought this way I could trade out my felt decorations right in my own little hobo living room.

So I clearly miss measured as it hits the little hooks I put on but is pulled to taunt. So it will need a addition. This makes me laugh. I am sharing this first because it is ugly as all hell and why not share the laugh with everyone. Also because to me if you cannot look at what you need to improve on what it the point in making anything. I hope this Jazzing gone wrong makes every one of you smile.

Love Cappy

Jazz up your crap completed.

So this was my first for hire Jazz up your crap the one I did prior to this was a experiment more to see if people would flip out when they saw their crap redone.

Surf edition of Jazz up your crap was lots of fun to make first the item was a thick glass that had writing I covered to keep private in the photo. I think my favorite part of this is the surf board is actually a incense burner. Thanks to the lovely person who sent this in and allowed me to doctor their stuff and thanks so anyone taking the time to read this and have a laugh.
