"My favorite design aspect of Trashmash is the ability to imbed cabochons and beads in a way that looks almost ancient, like something found in an old castle. I'm also extremely impressed by the environmental friendliness of this technique. Anything that can turn that garbagey plastic foam into beautiful jewelry is high on my list." (BellaOnLine's Jewelry Making Site) "You will not believe how easy these bracelets are to make." (About.com's Family Crafts Guide) "I am having lots of fun making my very own Trashmash bangles! When I read that you use recycled materials to make the bangles I got really excited! I thought, 'I can create fashionable jewelry while saving the earth by reducing waste in the landfills! In one venture, I can do two things that I am enormously passionate about!' Thanks for creating a totally awesome technique!" (Rachel Ogden) |
