Reused and Re-purposed

A master crafter sees the world differently.  They see the world and the objects of everyday life in a totally unique way.  They see discarded objects - objects the rest of the world considers outdated, trash, old - and they see it's potential.  They see what it's next life will be, and mold, stitch, glue, cut, giving it new life.
