The making of - For my little 3 year olds birthday, I made some cardboard props of dinosaurs. Afterward, I sold them via Facebook. To my surprise, I got lots of messages and even made another set of 3 for someone else. This Trex is from the second round, and I'm truly enjoying making them! I'll be showing more of my work soon 🦖

My friend bought those beautiful golden frames from an opshop and asked if I could make something for it. This is the result 💛.

Hi guys 👋, a little introduction for those of you new to my page. My name is Elize and am a very lucky Dutch woman living in Beautiful Brisbane. I have a very loving husband, 2 amazing children, a dog and 3 chickens (hands full 😆).

Ive always loved art and have created a beautiful series of upcycled pieces. All the fronds come from the Sunshine Coast and the frames/backing found in local opshops and on the side of the road (prior to kerbside collection) around Brisbane.

I also love painting, making paper flowers and anything creative really. Did I mentioned singing? Not that great, but def another way of expressing my inner feels!

Thanks for your time and please leave behind your thoughts! 💋

Crocheted with love and made from all kinds of yarn found in opshops/charity stores in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast!

These awesome baskets are great for kids toys to be placed in cube storage or maybe for your keys in the hallway?! 👌

Either way, come and see me at the markets at & on the 2nd of December for more awesome upcycled gifts! 🧡

Natural beauty 🤍🌿 - The frame and the fabric backing of this one of a kind piece has been collected from a little opshop tucked away on the Sunshine Coast. The leaves have come from a rural property nearby and have been given a coat of varnish to make sure they stay protected!

Come and see me on the 2nd of December at
& during the markets!

Love the change of art in my house! 🌿|| The frame on the left had a beautiful art print in it, until it fell of the wall and the glass shattered in a million pieces. This actually was my inspiration for my hanging leaf art, but only with products I could upcycle, giving it new life! || The frame on the right comes from an opshop(charity shop, thrift store) this had a plastic cover instead of glass and is now serving as a splash guard for my messy painting sessions! 🎨

One of my new favourites! I'm starting to add fabric to the frames and I think it just brings it together perfectly 😍. Anyway, I am a strong believer in reusing materials and the fabric was an off cut from a long time ago (so glad I kept it) the frame same thing, although having bought that new for a a project years ago it has been collecting dust till now! As for the leaf, well I collected that fallen on the ground from a friends property in the Sunshine Coast. 🌴

Paper Daisy 🤍 - Made from paintings and scribbles my Daughter created so I don't have to throw them out (don't worry, I keep some also😁). I've been upcycling old paintings and drawings into gorgeous paper flowers and use them for birthday decorations so I don't have to use balloons, which simply blow anyway
