Launching Threads of Insanity



Playing card butterfly hair pin (large)


Hello, I am a self-taught accessories- and jewelry-maker. I am also a life-long trashion lover. I have always been interested in making new things out of junk that most people would throw away. This, to use a recently-coined phrase, is called trashion.

Playing cards, books, buttons, old clothes, cereal boxes, children's games, VHS tape - anything and everything is fair game.

The purpose of this blog is to share my creations with you as I make them. If you use my ideas or photographs, please link back to this blog or credit me.

Contact me at threadsofinsanity@gmail.com if you have any questions.
