Pre-owned up-cycled one of a kind wearable art jeans. The majority of the materials uses to create my items are up-cycled items from my long time collection of pre-owned garments, unique textiles, vintage linens and found treasures. This makes them earth friendly and one of a kind. I may make similar pieces but never will they ever be exactly the same.Jean manufacturer is Levi's, "denizen" 299 Loose Fit. Size: 37 waist x 32 inseamThese UP-CYCLED jeans are covered in butterflies, florals and lace and are distressed in all the right places. Upon completion of the days of sewing, they were machine washed in cold water with Tide detergent and tumbled dry in the dryer. Just the right amount fraying occurred to soften the edges all around.The tag is marked 34 x 32" and they are 100% cotton. HOWEVER, the NEW SIZE IS 37" waist as I have added 3" in total by adding into the side seams additional denim fabric sourced from other jeans. The new side seams have 3 rows of stitching for added durability. They are going to be super cute on you with a belt to cinch them in or weather the waist fits you just right.Final Measurements:Waist 37"Inseam 32"Thigh width 24"

Let me share one of my favorite things I use this last year in my class... a magnate COLOR WHEEL! Nope it doesn't take much to make an Art Teacher happy... At the 2015 Winter AOE online conference, Alicia Eggers gave some of the BEST ideas and solutions for organizing and encouraging concepts in the Art Room. If you have never heard of this wonderful brain, you have to check out some of the articles she writes for AOE (click here). She is amazing! I had fun painting and mixing colors to have a circle to represent each primary, secondary, and intermediate color. I cut and laminated them. Placed some magnets on the back and used them for EVERY grade level in the school. As students were warming up or coming into class I would hand them a circle. For example, during my lesson, I would say to a 4th grade group. So the most important colors in the color wheel are the primary colors. Can I have the primary colors go and place their color on the triangle. Students would proudly walk to the board, maybe glancing at the permanent color wheel in my room, and confidently place the circle on the board. Kids were out of their seat and ready to participate. Alicia Eggers also presented on how to keep and encourage use of scrap paper. She had a much better made sign that had the message you see below. This worked well in my classroom. Students were keeping better pieces of scrap paper and getting rid of what can not me used again. Another great steal from an AMAZING art teacher.

Original hand painting Special Order secretary desk. Everything in my shop has been up-cycled and previously owned. Once I discover them, they become my babies. With love and attentiveness, I make them desirable once more. Please expect some imperfections. I paint and work in my garage in Wine Country, Santa Rosa, CA; I am inspired by the French country/provincial styles and Annie Sloan, the chalk paint queen. My goal is to make everything in my shop unique for you with the original floral hand painting, wood applique, or gold leaf. And depending on the theme, sometimes, I use stencils to give them that rare character. I use organic Hemp seed oil to clean and naturally varnish inside the drawers and cabinets on the more oversized items. I use chalk paint, Annie Sloan clear and antique wax, acrylic paint, and gilding wax. Visible brush strokes and highlights created by the wax add to my babies' beauty and make them closer to the French country/provincial style. The gilding wax is applied by hand and isn't straight or regular lines. You can feel the floral designs under your fingers when you touch them. Sometimes, there is residual organic Hemp seed oil odor where it was applied.
