Jackie Went Prowling in the Newsstand and Found:


Finding creative uses for old items is nothing new to artists, but the spirit of preserving the planet is more important than ever before andGreenCraft Magazine is here to honor and inspire those who find artistic applications for normally discarded resources.

GreenCraft Magazine will provide ideas for repurposing trash to treasure by showcasing projects where waste is repurposed into ecologically chic creations. Last, but not least, to maintain the theme of recycling, the entire publication will be printed on recycled paper.



I am a crafter from wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back, and this new-to-me find has just blown me away. There are articles in here that show creative uses of old wall calandars, tape measures, mystery keys, (you know, the one's hanging out in the junk drawer belong to nothing that still belongs to you), plastic bags, old teeshirts, old onesies, paper of all sorts, breakfast boxes and more. These are inventive ways to use stuff you have, stuff you might be throwing away, to make art and fun. More than 85 project ideas in this one issue alone! You really need to come in and check it out!
