Shop of the Week: La Alicia
Having dabbled in recycled paper craft myself, i can't resist the lovely combinations of color and pattern (and type! beautiful, beautiful type!) that come together in a well-made piece from recycled magazine pages. La Alicia's work is a perfect example of that loveliness.
With work ranging from jewelry to pouches to picture frames and garlands, La Alicia has something to fill all your recycled accessory/houseware needs. Seriously, she has taken a seemingly simple medium and extended it in so many directions to create a very impressive (and did I mention lovely?) line of goods. And the colors! I can imagine the care that has gone into selecting all the pink pages or red pages to pull together each piece.
And the random color combinations are just as beautiful as the deliberate ones, if not more so. Whether you're wearing it, carrying it, or hanging it on your wall, one of these bright, beautiful objects is sure to bring a smile to your face, especially on gloomy day!

I love how Alicia has turned her craft into so many beautiful pieces of art. The picture frame is great but my favorite is still the clutch bag! I want one!
