Planter - Reboot Robot Plant Holder Made From A Sauce Pan
If you're going to have plants around you (which I highly recommend you do :) why put them in a boring old pot when you can put them in a robot? I mean, seriously, robots are awesome. I made this mustached little friend as part of my Reboot Robot series and after a few days of staring at the sauce pot on my desk, this design came to me and it was done in a week. The plant is not included, but anything in a 3 1/2" pot or less will fit. Want to know what the parts are? It's made from a vintage tiny sauce pot, a lanyard tie, two measuring spoons, pieces of a candle holder, a can opener, and a handful of nuts, bolts, washers, and wire. All items were collected at thrifts stores, yard sales, and my local second hand building materials supply store. Height: 12 1/2" Width: 8" Thanks for looking and please feel free to contact me with any questions!

Welcome to Found Beauty Studio! This is my one woman attempt to bring a little fun back into the world with bright and functional recycled found object art. I've always been a maker of things. Always. But if you'd told me when I walked out of college with a bachelor's in theatre arts a decade ago in Massachusetts that I'd end up running my own art studio in Burlington, Vermont, I would have called you crazy. I had plans to go on to a successful and illustrious career in costume and set design, and then took a u-turn and worked in program direction and fundraising for nonprofits, and then as a community organizer for local government, and then burned out on the whole 70-hour-work-week-in-a-cubicle life and headed back to art.
Life takes funny twists and turns, and here I am, happier than I could have imagined in the upstairs of a house in the Old North End with my wood worker husband, three fluffy cats, and two turtles (one of whom is fast approaching 30 years old), using my maker-of-things skills to upcycle found materials into new creations. While I do create fine art pieces, my primary love is creating functional pieces - lamps, tote bags, jewelry, furniture, clothing, home goods, planters…the list goes on. I find great joy in taking a used up, forgotten and discarded object and turning it into a one of a kind piece that someone will use and love.
