Etsy Trashion Team

We are a Team of Etsy artisans dedicated to the Art of Trashion.

We create art, jewelry, fashion and objects for the home, made from materials that were leftover, discarded, or found and sell them on Etsy.

Trashion is all about bringing out the beauty in unconventional objects and materials.
For us recycling is an art and an ideal. The Trashion philosophy encompasses environmentalism and innovation, and respects the human creative and healing potential.

If you use old jewelry, belts, chain, watch parts, beads, etc. check out my shop. I've just reduced prices on most of my "junque" by 50% and am more than willing to negotiate for multiple lots.

Also, just for fun, please check out my original shop, The Creative Block, www.siragwatkins.etsy.com
I've been adding new stuff, much of it made with vintage/recycled elements.

And since I'm not doing shows this summer I've been tucking Trashion handouts into envelopes with orders, and have gotten some… Continue
