recycled belt project
a treasured belt made specifically for you from your own used clothing.
the story:
i had a pair of brown linen pants that were my very favorite.
they became unwearable.
i did not want to part with their memory, so
i cut them into 3/4 inch strips and wove them into a rad belt,
with handspun wool at either end for extra funk.
examples:
all you need to do is:
send a piece of cloth
a check for $42.00
and your address to:
ARTEMISIA
c/o Caryn Simon
2363 Pontiac Trail
Ann Arbor, Michigan 48105
in return i will:
mail to you an exquisite belt hand-woven with strips cut from the cloth you sent
with a tag that includes care instruction,
and is signed by the artist herself.
