Whether you buy your yarn from thrift stores or you're someone who literally turns trash into treasure, this is the place for you. This is a gathering place for people who combine their love of art with their love of being frugal and eco-conscious. Some and show off the things you create from recycled materials, the beauty you've created by and when saving a few bucks!

All posts are welcome here, so long as they have to do with art and frugality. This includes showing off something you just made, asking for advice on how to get certain supplies cheaply, or giving the same such advice. It doesn't include being mean or unsupportive, doesn't include comments that we're all cheapskates and trash-pickers.

Posts about selling your art are allowed, so long as that's not all you do here. Your post ought to contain more than a flashy advertisement. In such cases, a simple link in your post saying, "If you'd like to purchase my art, email me/click here/whatever" will suffice. If I find that all you're doing is posting ads, your posts will be deleted and you'll be on the receiving end of a banhammer.

The definition of art is varied and usually a very personal thing. What one person considers art may not match somebody else's definition. Be respectful. That's what it really comes down to in the end.
