Books ARE fun

Something about me that most do not know.. I collect blank books. I OBSESSIVLY collect blank journals/ sketch books. I love them. They are inspiration waiting to happen...

Thing is, I doodle or write on one or two pages, then shelf them. That has to say something.. Therapist?

Last night, I decided to starbucks card mosaic the cover of one of the blank books. It turned out awesome! Here you go:

Cloth Paper Scissors


So, I bet you are thinking:
"Self, what IS Cloth Paper Scissors magazine?"

Well, it is a publication that gives tips, how tos, introductions, information, and much much more about paper crafting, mixed media, artists, and more!!

Last month, I was contacted by the Editor-in-Chief about adding a tiny blurb about Jupita.Etsy.Com and my upcycled FUN(ky) items. I was honored and excited!

What artist doesnt want to be "found" and given exposure.. for FREE???



Well, there is my Blurb. A cute pic and my website!! AWESOME!!!

New Creations...

In my shop, you notice there are rarely any earrings. Why?! Well, I do not typically wear them. So, I just do not think to make them.

Lately, I have gotten numerous requests for earrings.

I know there are many giftcard earring makers on Etsy now. Since I started selling upcycled gift card jewelry, TONS of others have followed.

But, I am going to put my JUPITA twist on things. I hope you enjoy my Unique One of a Kind Jupita Originals!!!
