***A note to those looking for LENORMAND CARDS in TINS: Sadly, I cannot take requests for these as I only use recycled altoid tins and I haven't come across any for some time. In the future, if I come across any, I may make a set and list it here, but it has to be first come first serve. No requests. :( Sorry guys.
Les Vieux Jours will be at these upcoming Chicago Events:
Handmade Chicago @ Randolph Street Market Saturday, August 31 from 9am-4pm 1350 Block of West Randolph
If you're in town, stop by and say hi!
Les Vieux Jours features fun and strange art and crafts featuring recycled and reused items! Toys, jewelry, trinkets, wall art...always coming up with new nifty stuff. My ingredients include everything from junk mail and altoid tins, to jar lids and bottle caps. I like to release the inner potential of common junk and elevate it to artistic status. The themes of my work are usually ethnic in nature and not bound to this century, and always have a touch of the mystical.
I like for my things to feel like they were made by an actual person and not someone on an assembly line, nor a machine. I don't like the overly plastic-y, streamlined feel of crafts that are supposed to be handmade.
Every item I make is unique and has its own individual personality. I hope you enjoy my wares as much as I enjoyed making each and every piece!
