Trip Dog

Here is a video of my favorite band, Trip Dog, that I get used guitar strings from to make recycled guitar string jewelry. It would still be my favorite band even if I weren't in a relationship with the lead guitar player! They are amazing musicians and I am so glad they got together this year.

The bass and banjo player is the owner of Insea Sound Shop http://www.insea.biz/ and a major source of used guitar strings. I wish I had pictures of his place and the other unique shops I get used guitar strings from.

I get new ideas constantly. I think it is because of the constant flow of guitar strings going through my corner of the kitchen/workshop. Right now, I am really in love with these steel flat wrapped guitar strings, black tape wound bass strings, and mandolin strings. I haven't made anything out of them yet because I don't want to cut them yet. I think I am going to start a OOAK (one of a kind) section of guitar string bracelets that are custom sized and sterling wrapped.

One of these days when I get this place straightened up, I am going to take pictures of me and my work area. I have been reading some of the artist blogs from etsy, and love seeing pictures of the artists in their natural habitat.

I am having problems with too many ideas and not enough time to put them to use! I guess that's what holiday weekends are for! Have a fun Labor Day Weekend everyone!tgis
